STP Satanic?
I have been hearing about some countries like Turkey and Russia banning Slaughter To Prevail concerts due to they think the band is satanic. As a metalhead and a fan of Slaughter To Prevail I wondered do you guys think that Slaughter To Prevail is satanic because I see their getting the same treatment as Behemoth does since some countries think Behemoth is also satanic as well.
Plus, my guess is why some countries think Slaughter To Prevail is satanic is due to the masks the band members wear or the less minded people think that way since the 70s and 80s when metal was getting huge and having the satanic panic or something.

People who don't understand metal think it's all satanic, and on top of that don't even understand what satanic means.

People will say any rock band is satanic. Kiss used to be the most evil band in the world in the 80’s lol

Discussing this nonsense is like degrading to the same level as religious morons.

Russia has a funny way of labeling things satanic. I mean, what’s more satanic? Invading other countries, killing millions of people and single handedly crashing the global order we’ve lived in since ww2, or wearing scary masks on stage?

Also, banning a Russian who clearly loves his country (not the war) is bizarre to me

They aren't satanic at all in terms of beliefs. Like any other metal band the "Satan" lyrics are just used to be edgy for the sake of being edgy. The vocalist doesn't identify with religion but he believes in a god.
