Back, back, back in the day (yes we are that damn old) in the early days of the Thrash Metal Underground, Slayer was also included in the list of bands considered Black Metal. In the early days of the Heavy Metal Underground a band was considered to be a Black Metal Band if they wrote Satanic lyrics. It didn't matter if they played Thrash like Slayer or Heavy Metal like Mercyful Fate. This was before the Norwegian Black Metal scene built a sound on the recordings of 2 bands (actually 3 but Hellhammer is Celtic Frost) Bathory and Hellhammer/Celtic Frost. Even though a lot of the Norwegian bands site Mercyful Fate as an influence the fans that followed them don't consider Mercyful Fate as a Black Metal band. I didn't really care but hey it makes for conversation. For me Slayer was an influence on that my band wanted to be faster than Slayer or Metallica....and we were.
