It is just a shorter version of the full name. Anorexia is short for Anorexia Nervosa. Therefore, Anorexia Nervosa is commonly referred to as Anorexia. (As is Bulimia. Bulimia is short for Bulimia Nervosa.)

Are the bands Carniflex and Anorexia Nervosa satanic bands?

I don't know about Carniflex, but I can answer about Anorexia Nervosa. Anorexia Nervosa don't mention Satan, Satanism, etc. in their music. They use Gothic Horror motifs, which are commonly associated with the "dark side" of humanity, which tends to get them lumped with the Satanic bands.Another view:Please don't judge a music band by its name! Sometimes the producers use stupid immoral names to capture the publics attention. The men in the band are all Christians!
