I LOVE the new Ghost Album. It's got a heavier and darker sound, and it leans way over into prog-rock genre. And the lyrics aren't as overtly Satanic. Still very Satanic, but there is nothing like Satanic Prayer or Monstrous Clock. This one you have to listen to to know who it's about.
The song and video by Ghost of "Cirice" reminds me of me when I was a young fledgling Satanist/Dark Artist. It was through the music of bands like Mercyful Fate, Slayer, and Venom that helped tip the balance in my life's paradigm shift towards the Left-Hand Path. "Paradigm Shift" would be a great name for either a song or album. I shall consider it for "Archon".

Ghost is charting #8 on Billboard. 
Selling about 30,000 copies a week. The new album is good, but TBH I just like Opus and infestissumam were a bit more raw for me, and I like that. However, not to be a hater... Here's the best song not on Meliora. This is the B side of the Circe single that got tossed in with the deluxe vinyl...

Wow! That's something that such a band is getting that high. It gives me hope that people can still appreciate good music.Ghost is charting #8 on Billboard.

I really like Burzum, but most would not consider Burzum to be truly Satanic. Right now, I'm listening to Darkthrone's masterpiece "Transylvanian Hunger." Black metal is the main form of Satanic Music.
Burzum is of the black metal heritage, however, Varge Vikernes is tainted with the murder of Euronemous of Mayhem, the guitarist who gave black metal a unique sound through the use of triad chords played tremolo on guitar, which bands like Dark Funeral perfected. Iron Wizard, have you read the book titled "Lords of Chaos: Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground"?
Dark Funeral, hell yeah - I love those dragging tremolo triad chords.

I've spent a week listening to the new Ghost and it is lyrically weak and dumbed down for mass consumption. I won't be listening to this one as much as the other two -- which I dearly love... The music, however, is great.
Meh, I'm hit or miss with Dark Funeral -- they have a few great songs and the rest are "typical" black metal trash. Mostly bands rip Darkthrone, so yea... just listen to Darkthrone. There is some down right ****ty black metal around and I'm a musician so I reserve the right to make the call. I don't care what the cult kids and fanboys are into... Dark Funeral and Marduk remain the worst two bands live that I've seen... They were technically great players, but the stage show - I've seen better from garage bands. Watch their stuff on Youtube or buy cds..
Slayer... Are they even a band anymore? They lost half the band, and Tom and Kerry don't write the guitar parts or the drums or even the lyrics.
Burzum stinks, and sounds like a bad rip off of Bathory at times.... you know a band that could actually play.

I can't wait for Slayer's new album next week. I'm trying to not get my hopes very high, since it will undoubtedly be a different Slayer without Hannigan, but it could still be good.

I have to agree with you MM. Most "black metal" bands are horrible, however, there are a few good ones which I have posted in this thread. Dark Funeral though I do take issue with you (Lord Ahriman is my boy) they are one of the originals who perfected the dragging tremolo triad chord sound, I love DF and their sound, but that's just me.
I love bands like Venom, Slayer, Mercyful Fate/King Diamond, Bathory, because I grew up listening to them and learnt guitar by playing their stuff/riffs in the 1980's.

I agree, Mindmaster. I like Dark Funeral, but they only really have a few good songs.
Some good Satanic Music:
Bathory- Under the Sign of the Black Mark
Darkthrone- A Blaze In the Northern Sky, Transylvanian Hunger
Burzum- Burzum, Hyvless Tar Oss (sorry, I don't speak Norwegian, so the spelling is wrong) Filosofem, Belus, Fallen
Mayhem- Deathcrush, Dr Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
I'm listening to The Secrets of the Black Arts by Dark Funeral right now.
Someone said that Burzum is tainted by Varg killing Euronymous. I side with Varg, I believe his self defense story. He could have ran instead of killing him, though. Varg is seen as such a horrible person, but I think that is quite played up by the media.
Under the Sign of the Black Mark and Filosofem are my two favorite black metal albums.

I thought it was better because it wasn't as overt. It's much easier to just say "Hail Satan" upfront, rather than having people pretend they can hear by spinning a record backwards, but it requires more talent to make the metaphors, analogies, and allusions that show you the lyrics are Satanic, rather than being upfront and direct about them being about Satan. I thought the instrumental parts were more mass consumption friendly given the prog rock nature of them for this album, but I don't mind because I love prog rock (which, except for a few examples of singles and hits, and a couple of bands, hasn't been all that mass consumption oriented - like the Peter Gabriel Genesis which wasn't as nearly mass consumption friendly as the Phil Collins Genesis). Spirit, for example, singing of the possibilities and mobility, no return, and Edgar Allen Poe, or Cirice, which seems to speak directly to the "outsiders" that make up the bulk majority of metalheads; it's more creative than "come together as one for Lucifer's son" or "hear our Satanic prayer, our anti-Nicene creed." The Beast, of many names, whom without I cannot see, who is insurrection and who is the force that made me be, and Mummy Dust, the magnet for stupidity, is just awesome!
