The entire theory is absolutely ridiculous. Symbolically it has some truth though, just replace Satan Worship with Money Worship. Music does have an effect, hypnotically speaking, and the effect is greater the less you understand about the lyrics. But there isn't some secret Witch's Code you need to learn in order to learn how to hypnotize or "cast spells" on your listeners. It's all about word association and neurological patterns. Much the same way you get cross-firing in dreams, you can also get cross-firing when you listen to music. Your brain picks up on all of it, but your cognitive mind does not. That's how hypnotism works, bypassing the critical barrier by either putting someone in a state of deep, or subliminally including a message the cognitive factor is not paying attention to. You can then tap into the pure, association based unconscious mind. And without a critical filter to direct thoughts to their proper association and rule out the extra associations, you can take advantage of random associations we pick up in our lifetime.
An example of a random association would be the word Alligator associating with farewell. Because we all know the phrase "See you later Alligator," the alligator has a random association connected with saying goodbye, and with departing in general. The association is not in any way logical, which is why random associations like that are perfect if you're trying to send subliminal messages. Marketing in general takes advantage of these all the time, but also creates them and strengthens these associations. A songwriter could easily sell insurance by writing a song about a duck and a lizard.
The Music Industry sells by activating energy vortexes in the body. If a song can generate a limbic response, it will be successful. Bands and artists that create their own music are in a minority, especially on the radio, and barely heard of among the 10-15 year olds the Music Industry largely focuses on. These bands tap into the limbic system as well, but only by instinctively creating what they feel sounds good. They obtain the emotional response when they write it that people will achieve when they hear it, and so if it's a very positive response they'll produce it. Then there's a small minority of songwriters that make music for JayZ, Justin Bieber, Beyonce, Miley Cyrus and that whole crowd of talentless puppets. The proportion is something like 10 worthless faces for every 1 songwriter behind the scenes, so you can imagine these professional songwriters make up a very small group and produce practically all the music you get on the radio or MTV. Their target audience is 10-15 year old girls and the response they're looking for is horniness. That's right, they specifically write music to make young girls horny. This is not with some Satanic motive, it's simply because nothing generates money in the record label's pocket better than a horny young girl.
