Therion is good.
A lot of the Black Metal groups are posers and nothing more, but Emperor,
headed by Isahn, was a real Satanic band.  And then there's Burzum, or Varg
Vikernes:

He's serving time for murder.

There was a group called Zero Kama that performed rituals on CD using human
bones for all the instruments.
Some samples are here:

There is a band called Univers Zero, from Belgium, that performs an Enochian
ritual on one of their Cds, Heresy.
