I don't have any huge problem with them (I do like Demigod), but they seem a touch too theatrical as of late and the whole Satan thing in general just seems a touch too "anti" and cliche. Maybe I'm just getting old
I think it only seems that way because of their popularity. But dude's a legit Satanist. Not just for show. There's just few bands out there with that kind of recognition but also flat out openly that Satanic. Get beyond that thought of their notoriety and give them a good listen and its really authentic music.I don't have any huge problem with them (I do like Demigod), but they seem a touch too theatrical as of late and the whole Satan thing in general just seems a touch too "anti" and cliche.

Its aesthetically pleasing. I can't enjoy a black metal band praising Christ. It's just not suited for each other.
It's childish to outside observers because they typically only know the loons. Most are quiet about it, except in metal.I prefer neither to be honest. Christianity doesn't suit me nor does it suit black metal. The nature of Satanism is simply opposing Christianity/god and creating an entire belief system in protest of another (whether you're a true believer or just using it for image) it just screams childish, pathetic and attention seeking.
Anyway, hail Odin/Vishnu/Poseidon, baby. At least the pagan religions have their own thing. I could go into a rant on the 3 Abrahamic religions, but this isn't the thread for that =P
