I'm so tired of hearing people think metal is this some wild genre of music listed to cultists and edgy teens. The only bands I think that fit the bill (and I don't listen to either of them) are Ghost, which in their logo have St. Peters cross but it's not a satanic symbol in fact it's the opposite and the other one is Slayer which I don't know anything about but they're album covers do look unholy so to say.
S.O.A.D. is all about anti-war and anti-corruption messages (i.e. Boom! and Prison song which are phenomenal), Rammstein is trying to be as controversial as they can in the best way possible and even Slipknot despite looking scary is just a bunch of silly little guys who like to huff crow corpses nothing more :3

Slayer being Satanic is a common misconception- they just think the imagery looks neat and fits the vibe...
While there are a lot of metal bands that identify with Satanism (which is NOT associated with the Christian depiction of Satanism, and is PEACEFUL in nature) a majority of the less heavy metal bands you named, and other similar bands are not Satanic. =D
2 claim that NO metal is Satanic would be widely incorrect, but Satanism itself is simply another religion that gets a horrible rep.
fair enough it was a bit of a stretch and generalization to say "No metal bands are satanic". Also thanks for telling me that about slayer I honestly didn't know :)
