Trollhättan, Sweden (1990 – 2004, 2009 – present)
The Crown is a death/thrash metal band formed in Trollhättan, Sweden in 1990. Their original moniker (until 1998) was Crown of Thorns for the band’s first two albums, which had to be changed due to another band already using that name.
Their music and lyrics are inspired by death, anti-religion themes (mostly targeting Christianity) and rebellion. They are known to fuse death metal with thrash influences.
The Crown disbanded in 2004. Lindstrand went on to form One Man Army and the Undead Quartet. Tervonen and Saarenpää formed Angel Blake, named after a song by Danzig. Despite having broken up they made one last release as a tribute to their fans. A triple DVD set containing live shows, and bootlegs.
The Crown reformed in December 2009, without vocalist Johan Lindstrand. Jonas Stålhammar of God Macabre is the new vocalist.
As of September 9th 2011, Johan Lindstrand has resumed vocal duties in The Crown.

Pure awesomeness. I think only one member became a christian, so some of the lyrics reflect this.

While it is true that Lucifer is the Bearer of Light, this is the only part which is true ion what tacticool said. He was given the link to the lyrics, plus veggiecannibal posted more than enough examples thereof. I'm not sure what tacticool means by "THE TRUE AND ONLY GOD" but I'm aware that lately there's not only the problem of LaVeyans claiming the label "Satanism" for themselves (LaVey made a parody of it, claiming Satanists do NOT worship Satan, which is obviously hilarious) but also the problem of some morons claiming Satan was not evil but a "lover of mankind", Satan was the creator of man (identical with ancient Sumerian god Enki), Satan was gonna come in a spaceship for the rescue of mankind since Satan was actually a humanoid ET and Jesus and them are also ET's but are reptilian and other completely laughable bunk. All this is to say that knowing about this, it's not all too surprising that someone would also consider these completely anti-Satanic lyrics Satanic.
