I've read a couple things about Coven but I've never heard them. I seem to recall that yeah, they did the rituals thing and wore upside down crosses, that sort of thing.
Funniest thing ever .. probably

Does the second word "metal" mean anything to you or suggest the possibility that it is connected to a specific genre of music?
okay, lets overanalyze this:
BLACK
that's the satan part
METAL
that's the music part
SATAN METAL = BLACK METAL
that wasn't so hard, now was it?

fuck melodic black metal
NicodemiX, thanks for explaining to poor IOTS that metal is metal before I called him mean things.
Dont forget about Possessed!JayKeeley said:Deicide is black metal!!!
Also:
If a band has satanic lyrics and plays music influenced by Helloween, the band plays black metal?
And:
A band plays music influenced by early Bathory, early Satyricon etc, but doesnt have black metal lyrics. The band with the Helloween influences is black metal, and this band is not?
Grim answers appreciated

Some people like the late Euronymous would tell you that Deicide and Mercyful Fate is indeed black metal, as they think that metal + satan = black metal, but I personally am not prepared to go that far. For me to call something black metal, it needs to have the ideology, plus it needs to have some sort of discernible similarity to the founding black metal bands like Bathory, Hellhammer, Mayhem...

Ok
what i think is that genres were made in order to understand what kind of MUSIC a band plays, and not what kind of lyrics has.

and I guess they used that blonde chick for more than just window dressing...here's the gatefold of the album. supposedly it contained a "genuine" black mass.
Then we can make a beautiful conversation about what METAL really is and probably one could prove that Coven and Black Widow are METAL.
So they are black metal

The idea of Black Metal is threefold:
one idea you're beginning to get a grasp on: The fact that black metal is metal about satan.
The second idea is that black metal is a certain style of metal.
The third point ties into the first point which is that black metal had ideology. It is not merely a musicial style but an amalgamation of style and ideology. You can have the style without the ideology, or the ideology without the style, but without both it cannot be defined as black metal.

Are all the songs in "A Blaze In The Northen Sky" or "De Mysteriis.." about satan?
