US used 'Christian heavy metal' to torture Iraqi militants

Quote:Torture doesn't necessarily have to deal with physical pain. The US military have used Christian heavy metal music by the band Demon Hunter after rockers Metallica asked they stop using their recordings on prisoners.https://rt.com/art-and-culture/news/us-m...-iraq-129/

Surely Justin Bieber or One Direction would be more suitable.
I always find Christian Metal strangely ironic

I played with my old band as support for some of those christian bands...Norma Jean, Zao. Enjoyed it for the music, hated it for the lyrics.

I know this sounds like a dumb question but how is playing this christian metal torture?
Like, do they just play it really loud or something. I could kinda understand that but then you run the risk of the person being deaf and then you don't get anything useful out of them..
