Tense-sounding chromatic or tritone relationships are used in a number of metal chord progressions.[24][25] The tritone, an interval spanning three whole tones—such as C and F#—was a forbidden dissonance in medieval ecclesiastical singing, which led monks to call it diabolus in musica—"the devil in music."[26] Because of that original symbolic association, it came to be heard in Western cultural convention as “evil.” Heavy metal has made extensive use of the tritone in guitar solos and riffs, such as in the beginning of "Black Sabbath."
And for your enjoyment, a like to youtube, listen and see if you can hear the diabolus.

Det är första och tredje tonen som är diabolus in musica. Andra och tredje oxå för den delen - för den andra är bara oktaven av den första. :)
