Metal and rock music-2

-

 Satanism would come to be more closely associated with the subgenre of black metal,[101] in which it was foregrounded over the other themes that had been used in death metal.[105] A number of black metal performers incorporated self-injury into their act, framing this as a manifestation of Satanic devotion.[105] The first black metal band, Venom, proclaimed themselves to be Satanists, although this was more an act of provocation than an expression of genuine devotion to the Devil.[106] Satanic themes were also used by the black metal bands Bathory and Hellhammer.[107] However, the first black metal act to more seriously adopt Satanism was Mercyful Fate, whose vocalist, King Diamond, joined the Church of Satan.[108] More often than not musicians associating themselves with black metal say they do not believe in legitimate Satanic ideology and often profess to being atheists, agnostics, or religious skeptics.[109]

The Satanic Temple

 The Satanic Temple is an American religious and political activist organization based in Salem, Massachusetts. The organization actively participates in public affairs that have manifested in several public political actions[183][184] and efforts at lobbying,[185] with a focus on the separation of church and state and using satire against Christian groups that it believes interfere with personal freedom.[185] According to Dyrendal, Lewis, and Petersen, the group were "rationalist, political pranksters".[186] Their pranks are designed to highlight religious hypocrisy and advance the cause of secularism.[187] In one of their actions, they performed a "Pink Mass" over the grave of the mother of the evangelical Christian and prominent anti-LGBT preacher Fred Phelps; the Temple claimed that the mass converted the spirit of Phelps' mother into a lesbian.[186] The Satanic Temple does not believe in a supernatural Satan, as they believe that this encourages superstitio...

First Satanic Church

-
 After LaVey's death in 1997, the Church of Satan was taken over by a new administration and its headquarters were moved to New York. LaVey's daughter, the High Priestess Karla LaVey, felt this to be a disservice to her father's legacy. The First Satanic Church was re-founded on October 31, 1999 by Karla LaVey to carry on the legacy of her father. She continues to run it out of San Francisco, California.
