All in all, I still won't listen to black metal, even stuff that doesn't fit black metal's conventional "satanism" bill, because I get a splitting headache. I'd say thrash metal and crust punk are about all I can handle. ANd the second Death Note theme.
Bathory's first three albums wouldn't appeal to you cause SATAN!!!, but...



That painting on the cover is a depiction of the "Wild Hunt", from Germanic/Norse mythology, which dominated Bathory's later music. I mean, Bathory was anti-Christian, in the sense that they/he (one-man band) believed that Christianity destroyed and supplanted his country's (Sweden's) culture and religion, but the band isn't heavy-handed about it. It's sub-textual, so you can ignore it if you just wanna hear about Vikings and ****.
