Why is slayer satanic

Satanism's on the way out cos it's too negative. Bands like Bathory and Slayer won't ever be able to totally renounce it, it's too big a part of their appeal, but other metal bands are becoming worldly wise, putting more social comment in their lyrics.

The bands still riding the Satanist sinking ship include Dark Angel, Possessed and Britain's vile and pimply Onslaught. According to Mark Palmer, the band that really believes in it as a long-term concept are Bathory.

We were kinda serious about it when we started, but now it's old hat. It's not quite the opposite of the normal bible — a lot of its principles are just about being yourself, if you want to do something you do it, if you wanna have affairs you can.

But we never hold daily rituals or anything. Slayer are not into Christianity in a big way, but all that talk of "red books" and worshipping Satan sounds pretty religious to me. Isn't Satanism the same old crap in reverse? What we're attacking, in a roundabout way, is the Christian TV conmen. It's unbelievable, the amount of money stolen in the name of Jesus. There are good commercial reasons why the media and the metal industry stay way clear of Satanism, but bands like Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax just think it's ridiculous.
