Satan is not a "person(entity)" look up the Hebrew definition, It means adversary or enemy that's it folks. don't buy into the hype. It's only there to scare you into tithing.
There is a line between satan worshipping, satanism and metal music's satan image. Though King is satanist it doesn't mean that he tells us how great satan is. Being satanist means that you're your own master and no higher beings. The idea of the traditional satanism which King believes/believed forbidds you to do any harm to human. Satan's role in metal music is to give concept for the band and their lyrics. There are real satan worshipping metal bands, this band is not among them.
@Horzagiar so he's using satanist sorta like a term for an artist whos cencepts and musical imagery is based off satan and other morbid stuffs .. ok well i guess thats not so bad
@parkerman6 But there is. Satanism has different kinds of tradtions/styles (sorry English is not my main language so it's bit hard to write this kind of things), depending how you practise it. But satan worshipping is basically this we hate humans and Jesus, we dedicate our lives to Satan stuff.
it's a joke because king diamond is a satanic worshiper and mercyful fate wrote shit about satan and shit like that. even though they wrote stuff like that i like the songs musical wise
its because king diamond's high-pitched voice makes it impossible to "growl" like he usually does, so he does have to sing high...even though james is a baritone (i think) and king is a falsetto
fuckin' LOVE this song!

it dosent matter if you worship satin or god, the very concept of good and evil is so primative and out dated.
