An apparently-Satanic band from Sweden, from 2006 to present. I might say anti-christian, and using alleged-Satanism for shock value. The song "Ritual" was chosen by Kerrang! as one of "The 50 Most Evil Songs Ever". Ghost is known for its eccentric on-stage presence. Seven of the group's eight members, known as "Nameless Ghouls", wear virtually identical, face-concealing costumes.
Ghost's Satanic theme has proven problematic for the group, especially in the US. While recording Infestissumam in Nashville, Tennessee, they were unable to find choral singers who would sing their lyrics, forcing them to record the parts in Hollywood. The group was unable to find a record manufacturer in the US to press the album because it featured artwork showing nudity, which resulted in a delay to the album's release. When one interviewer suggested that the band's music had become more "radio-friendly" and that they were being accepted into the US mainstream, a Nameless Ghoul replied that in the US their music was banned from major chain stores, most late-night television shows, and most commercial radio stations. He said, "So, yes, mainstream America is absolutely welcoming us with open legs".

He Is
We're standing here by the abyss
and the world is in flames
Two star-crossed lovers reaching out
to the beast with many names
He is, he's the shining and the light
without whom I cannot see
and he is insurrection, he is spite
He's the force that made me be
He is Nostro Dis Pater
Nostr' Alma Mater
He is
...
I say anti-christian with alleged-Satanic use for shock value because of course it would not be "allowed" if it was actually pro-Satanic. I am going through this playlist, and in one of these songs (so far), there seems to be technical mistakes, but which the uninitiated would not know or realise; therefore, accept as Satanic.
It seems the non-English European countries enjoy a lot of non-jesus music and culture. Sweden is Norse, of course.
