In Master of Reality they sing that he is "lord of this world" and "your confessor now."
According to a Rolling Stone interview, Peter Criss, the first and most famous drummer of the rock band KISS stated,

One Iron Maiden concert in Portland, Oregon, opened with the words "Welcome to Satan's sanctuary."

In describing what a Van Halen concert is like, David Lee Roth commented, "I'm gonna abandon my spirit to them [emotions], which is actually what I attempt to do. You work yourself up into that state and you fall in supplication of the demon gods" (Rock, April 1984).
Guitarist Mick Mars of Motley Crue described his band as "demonic, that's what we are" (Heavy Metal Times, May 1983).

I've always flirted with the devil" (Circus, Jan. 31, 1984).
Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac has several times dedicated their concerts to the witches of the world.

The death of your God we demand: we spit at the virgin you worship, and sit at the Lord Satan's left hand."
