Just wondering, their early satanic stuff, was that just for shock value, or were they real satanists?

The number of actual Satanists in metal is so low that you can safely assume that none of them are Satanists. Even the ones who are are LaVeyan Satanists, so no baby sacrifice. If you wanna stay away from those types though then avoid Mercyful Fate/King Diamond, Ulver, and one of the guys from Emperor I think. Samoth maybe. But Bathory are completely safe.
