Then why did you post in this thread? Rather than naively thinking all black metal bands are "satanist" and whatever, try looking into the genre a bit more and see that more often than not, many of the bands are NOT satanic and are, instead, more nature or philosophically based.
also, only listening to Opeth and instantly disregarding other bands and forms of music is extremely close-minded and arrogant. There's a reason why Opeth fanboys get so much shit. Also, keep in mind that one of the band's roots is in black metal.
I suggest you look into bands like Primordial, Agalloch, Fen, and Drudkh.
) , and the satanic image just to be a satanist. Death Metal doesn't have that image, some bands use costumes with leather, chain and stuff if I remember right, but most of them are just guys with black t-shirts and jeans. I mean they are just people who are making music. Black Metal feels like an ideology for me, that is what I dislike. An ideology that forms its image with corpsepaint, satanist image and the overly exaggerated "We are too bloody satanic dudes" theme. Death Metal has that too, but not much posing going around there than BM.
