From what I remember Coven is a band. I bought one of their albums back around '71 or so. One of the songs was "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge".

Wow, it is her, a satanist, Jinx Dawson, front woman for Coven.

The First Band of the Occult Rock Movement… Coven
“Dawson has often stated in interviews that her family background exposed her to ritual and occult ideas from a young age, and that these influences became inseparable from her artistic identity.”
“Where psychedelic rock bands projected swirling colors and sang about cosmic love, Coven bathed the stage in candlelight, adorned it with inverted crosses, and performed what appeared to be satanic rituals in the form of rock concerts. Dawson, with her flowing robes and commanding presence, stood less as a conventional singer and more as a High Priestess of Darkness.”This was not parody. For Dawson, the symbolism was authentic”

1969 album ‘Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls’ “The album’s tracklist alone reads like an invocation: Black Sabbath, Pact with Lucifer, Dignitaries of Hell, Wicked Woman. At a time when mainstream America was already alarmed by youth rebellion, this was a direct provocation. But the final track, Satanic Mass, ensured Coven’s place in history.”
““Satanic Mass” was a thirteen-minute recording of a staged Black Mass, complete with ceremonial invocations in Latin, ritual dialogue, and organ accompaniment. This was the first time a Black Mass had ever been commercially recorded and distributed.”
