Nine Black Poppies

OK, so we're not dealing with a strictly one-to-one relationship between clues and bits of information. That's helpful to know. I'm getting more impressed by how thought out this is.

One can assume that you're referring to Judas Priest then (although Satan and a couple others might also apply, JP seems the most obvious). And I'm guessing you're referring to "Church" by ol' Lyle, yes?

So a cult member shot (and possibly ate) a priest in a church? Maybe?
