That's all.

The devil guides the way
Tells me what to say
Pours himself inside
And snuffs the final light
So if their lyrics are literally written by the devil, how are they not Satanic?

Nope, in the context of that song these lyrics don't glorify Satan or evil, so they're not Satanic.

Anyway, descriptors for the album Deliverance on RateYourMusic:
atmospheric, heavy, introspective, dark, complex, male vocals, progressive, nocturnal

Not Satanic at all.

In the context of the song it means that he is opening up and accepting Satan into him, so ja, pretty Satanic man. Open your eyes or else you're going to wind up sucking off Satan before you know it.

And genre descriptors on RYM are in no way definitive. I bet that occultists flock to the site in the thousands so that people don't label their propaganda as Satanic, since that would scare off potential new members.
