I think Satan should be much less. Aside from early Norwegian black metal (Mayhem, Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, etc), a small number of throwback black metal bands (Destroyer 666, Nifelheim, Black Witchery, etc), and a relatively short period in the early-mid eighties (Venom, Slayer, Possessed, etc), there have never really been all that many Satanic bands in metal. Back in the eighties there were far more bands singing about war and anti-religion, death metal transitioned pretty quickly to gore and serial killers, and even black metal lyrics are becoming more and more diverse. I know it's a joke, and not to be taken at all seriously, but Satanism in metal isn't really all that common in general.
