Maybe there was a rights issue? Anyway, metal is ripe for parody, both internally (the conventions and conceits of the genre) and externally (the fans that take it too seriously). Unfortunately, if you're not in on the joke, it just looks really weird and kind of threatening.
Besides, it's not the Satanists you have to look out for. If anyone, it's the neo-Pagan Tolkien geeks.
