Horrorcore singer Richard McCroskey (a.k.a. Syko Sam) has been arrested and charged in relation to the murder of four people in Virginia two weeks ago.
In a slaying that made national headlines, Presbyterian Church Mark Niederbrock, his 16-year-old daughter Emma Niederbrock, Mark Niederbrock’s estranged wife Debra Kelley and Melanie Wells, a friend of Emma’s were found bludgeoned to death in a crime scene that local police describe at the most gruesome they have ever seen.
Richard McCroskey is believed to have been romantically linked to Emma Niederbrock, who was a fan of Horrorcore, a subgenre of hip hop music based in horror-themed lyrical content and imagery. The link between Horrorcore and the slaying is being made as a typical horrorcore work includes lyrics that discuss mass murder and gruesome slayings.
In McCroskey’s case though, it wasn’t just an incidental link: according to CNN in one YouTube video, he holds a hatchet and sings about killing people and putting their remains in black bags: “Last night I was the murderous rage. Now, I gotta get rid of the bodies before the corpses start to get to rotting.”

I don’t wish to pass judgment on anyone but I do know that satanic music dulls your senses and makes you emotionally numb. It tortures your soul and you don’t even realize it. People who listen to this type of music feel they are missing something in their lives and probably feel unwanted or unloved. Satanic culture whether it is musick, movies, books, posters, etc. is just that–satanic, from satan. Instead of reaching out to satan reach for the Lord instead. Pray to the Lord to change your life, give your life to Him. Buy the Bible instead of satanic cd’s. The Lord can and will save you if you just believe in Him.
