I really don't like people who say that rock is Satanic just because a fair portion of bands happen to use Satanic messages and themes. It's like saying TV is bad because people have misused it the same way. It's almost like they hate every musical genre that weren't originated or influenced by white protestants. It was those darkies that were rebellin' against tha Word!
I listen to an assload of music which has no religious influence, and a few songs which parody atrocities done in religion's name. No doubt there will be people who will try to associate it with Satanism because it's not "glorifying Jesus's name". Sorry, but Christian music sucks.
This points out the stupidity best:

It's really no surprise that the anti-Christ spirit has become so manifest in rock. There is abundant evidence that rock 'n' roll's life blood has in some part been drawn from a musical form whose sole purpose it to summon forth evil spirits voodoo. An ancient and highly developed form of ritual, magic, and animism, voodoo originated in Africa and was brought to the Americas centuries ago via the slave trade. There it gradually evolved into jazz, rhythm and blues, and finally rock. That by itself does not make these musical forms demonic, but rock 'n' roll has dabbled in and at times even embraced the essence of voodoo in a manner unique among other contemporary musical styles.

There. It's the nigger's music that is corrupting our youth.

Rock has "dabbles at times [with] voodoo" and so they throw the baby out with the bathwater.
So yea, if they would focus on the bands that actually do incorporate Satanism in their music, I wouldn't have a problem. But what they are, ultimately, doing is characterizing all music that is not pro-God as pro-Satan.
In all the years I've been in church and having seen and read countless articles on music, I've never seen analysis on anything industrial. It's always rock or rap. I wonder what they would say of Arditi or other bands that do not sing.
