    When I was growing up, a friend of mine had a brother who was a Satanist. He was sent away to "boys school" after trying to microwave her cat as a sacrifice to Satan. Anyway, after a few years there, he came back. I asked him one time which bands were actually Satanic. He laughed and said it wasn't any that I'd likely heard of. He named Celtic Frost as a band that really was. I have read the lyrics to some of their songs and can't see why he would say that. But, I read them about 10 years after he told me about them, so maybe they've mellowed. I don't know...Vortie's post just reminded me of it.
