The metal scene here in the US isn't as good as it is overseas, but there are a couple Satanic black metal bands that come to mind: Grand Belial's Key, Leviathan, Kult ov Azazel, Goatwhore and Judas Iscariot. You already mentioned Absu, who--in my opinion--is the best US black metal band. Like Dimitri said, explore deeper in the genre--you'll find what you're looking for.
Search deeper in your genre.. plenty of them...
Most black metal-bands are made out of "Satanists"..
Or are they doing it for their image?... Whatever..
Some are all about the image, others are serious. Slayer, for instance, is hypocritical--Tom Araya is a practicing Catholic, yet most of their music is anti-Christian. Good message, but coming from the wrong person. Then there are other bands such as Mercyful Fate, Bathory, and Rotting Christ, who are--or were--all serious about their music and the messages behind it.

There is also Averse Sefira from Austin, Texas (great band); there is also Krieg (now defunct), Nachtmystium from Chicago, Woe from Philadelphia, Wolves in the Throne Room from Washington State, and another great San Fran band, if they haven't been mentioned aleady: Weakling (their only album, Dead As Dreams, is classic, and has recently been reissued). There is also Xasthur, although for me, it is not one of the best acts, with the exception of the "To Violate the Oblivious" album.
Wrest of Leviathan also has a project called Lurker of Chalice, originally released on Total Holocaust and issued in the States on the Southern Lord label. He was also involved, along with Malefic of Xasthur, Hildolf of Draugar, Azentrius of Nachtmystium, and Imperial of Krieg in a project called "Twilight". As you can see, there are quite a few great bands here; some can hold a candle to the European scene, while some leave much to be desired in that respect. A great place to search is myspace searching by country, as well as American labels such as Dark Horizon Records, the label of Lord Typhus, the founding member of Typhus, and, as has already been mentioned, Moribund records.

Alas we can not forget DANZIG. I have met him and he does seem to be the real deal in Satanism. His other band that he had after The Misfits and before the Danzig band , SAMHAIN, was leaning heavily toward the left hand path also.

Hmmmm... Let's see. Maybe because they all claim to follow Satanism? Glenn Benton admits to being a Satanist , as does Glenn Danzig among others.
There are bands that claim to be satanists that are for show only. Most of the bands around the world that use Satanism as a claim to fame are just mere "wanna be's" and not true followers. Some even admit to use this as a gimmick to get listeners and fans.

Most of the bands mentioned write about Satanism within their lyrics. Danzig does his more subliminally than directly mentioning Satan.
Like in the song UNSPEAKABLE he asks the listener questions to make them think for themselves instead of being a sheep lead to slaughter.
Here are excerpts from the mentioned song,
"Don't you ever call upon things you shouldn't play with
Don't you ever look upon things that might offend you
Say what they don't like"
and this,
"Don't you ever question God or question how to pray
Don't you ever question laws, question what they say
Say what they don't like
Say what they don't like
Don't you ever
No
Don't ever call the unspeakable"
