Lyrically not once of their better songs but the 80's glam metal sound is obviously intentional and done well.
Thelema:
This song is interesting because it's in 21/8 with down counts that always equal 21, 7×3, or "777". If you really analyze it in depth, the formula for the song is The Seal of Babylon, which appeared on their stage set as well.
...
Prophetic, this song. This entire album should be an illuminati conspiracy theory. Came out the same week as Covid-19.
Hope the link works.

Hope it works!
Thank you so much. I couldn't remember the name of that one, so that will come in handy when I make another disc for the car, awesome track.
This one's pretty good too.
The 'uncensored' version will not embed unfortunately.
I'm looking for the lucifer in music when it comes to satanic bands, not the guy with horns.
Take Arch Enemy, on the surface it appears absolutely Satanic until you consider all the "United we" shit in Angela's misguided lyrics, and she doesn't get the Abba "I can't speak English copout" either.
Slayer is interesting especially God Hate Us All, Christ Illusion, really have that fire to them. The raging infernal diatribe agasinst an unnecessary and unfair imposition. Songs like "Exile", or "Skeleton Christ", really have a go be of "whose fucking with the dude?". But isn't Tom Arya catholic?
Call it the Satanic version of scent recognition, but you can tell a genuine adversarial satanic core versus grandstanding even in lyrics.
There needs to be that element of "unnecessary compulsory submission" to push back against. You can definitely tell it when you hear it. Apart from Slayer because I post enough Slayer.
It's as identifiable as the originality of their style, regardless how they identify.
And not always a strait forward "fuck you" either, sometime it's just the candor, like on Tool's "Hooker With A Penis". Call me a sellout? Here's you song bitch boy.
In this spirit I submit this as one of the most core Satanic album ever produced because it was written specifically to piss off and get dropped and sued by their record label for what happened with Nevermind.
Sleep
From the microcosmic dream
to the eternal and recurring
macrocosmic
Eraser
And my current favorite song on this album.
.
And though *some of their lyrics speak to a collective too much to bs "satanic", you can't tell me she doesn't get it with her lyrics. The real it, not the one that goes to Hot Topic with their 69-72 demons and faith in darkness.
House of Mirrors - lyrics
See the choice, it lies before you
A simple flick of the wrist
Blank doors keep the world at bay
Or do they keep the outside in?
What geometry lies beyond?
A familiar façade, keys in locks
Unhinge the future
Shut out the past
Winners and losers
Fiction and fact
Renegade, our reflections made across a sharpened blade
In a house of mirrors, you're never alone
Welcome home
To open is to invite the unknown
In to flood your once square home
The walls silently watch you
Are you watching them back?
Windows to the souls surround you
What escapes when those panes crack?
Unhinge the future
Shut out the past
Winners and losers
Fiction and fact
Renegade, our reflections made across a sharpened blade
In a house of mirrors, you're never alone
Welcome home
Suspicious simulacra distort your flesh and bone
'Cause in a house of mirrors, you're never alone
Welcome home
You'll run
You'll hide
Or try to
But we all
Reside
Inside you
Renegade, our reflections made across a sharpened blade
In a house of mirrors, you're never alone
Welcome home
Suspicious simulacra distort your flesh and bone
'Cause in a house of mirrors, you're never alone
Welcome home
And I guess their logo is Satanic too...
This one has good lyrics too.

I strongly suggest going to their amazing and tiring live shows. But they're as big as Babymetal in Japan and Sepultura in Brazil so it takes a while for them to get to North America sometimes.
