Cultus Diaboli by Bloodlust
There is a very long and dark history of Satanism within Black Metal that is very well documented (for the most part at least) and is pretty much synonymous with the genre. It comes as no surprise then when you hear a new Black Metal band that are drenched in so much Satanic imagery that you'd be forgiven for thinking you were sitting in one of Anton Lavey's ante-chambers.
All in all this is a very well made album, it balances just the right amount of Black with Thrash to fit nicely in between both genres. I'm not convinced of their devotion to Satan but if I'm honest I don't know if many modern bands are as behind it as they say. I can't remember the last time I heard of a good old fashioned Black Metal murder/sacrifice/ritual in the news.
