Heavy Metal

I grew up listening to Heavy Metal music, but never cared to interpret the lyrics, until now. I'd like to hear what others think about it.

no way

Way.

Wayy way. BMTH has some really interesting lyrics in that 2010 album. Oli got deep into astral projection for awhile there.

I'm listening to the album Killers by Iron Maiden.

The legendary doom metal cult hero, Dennis Cornellius of Place of skulls, Revelation, fate far worse, memory driven. Is driving me to the casino right now. He is I would say agnostic. He isn't interested in religon. Lol this is how he was recently described in this magazine. He is a giant teddy bear. A soft heart with woman hands. Just sayin.

Well I have a lot to say. What specifically do you want to know?

Metal is not inherently Satanic. Music is not inherently Satanic. But all music can be manipulated to fit an agendam

how old are you? My guess is twenty seven.

Close

seen you around for a while

Yes I live here

cute

;) message me.

I see we're doing this again...

OP, there's thousands of Metal bands out there with a million lines of lyrics. Unless you're implying that every Metal band, and every song is about the same thing then I think you might need to elaborate a little bit.

I wasn't. I was implying that a lot of people claim all metal is bad and that's not true.

I really like metal.

I had to give it a chance.

Ozzy is called the Prince of Darkness or w/e, yet most of his popular work like Crazy Train or Children of the Grave are anti-war songs.

crazy babies is a scary video

Can't mention this without mentioning "War Pigs" friend!

METAL!

It's pretty satanic. Sure music has been hijacked by the illuminaties to indeed push their agendas, but I think (heavy) metal is one of the more violent genres that naturally lend to more degenerate and violent messages, without people actually giving a fuck.

Good point. The message is nearly moot. I do like the sound though.

That's Tenacious D. That song is pretty much a parody of metal music.

I don't care for mainstream, black, or commercialized metal. Can seem hokey, over produced, or sloppy to the point of lack of rhythmic integrity. But, there is a lot of really good metal out there. Im currently digging on Skyforger, Sonne Hagal, Sleep, At The Gates, etc etc etc.

i grew up listening to metal .

there are 4 things metal bands sing about

sex + drugs + drinking

dungeons and dragons and vikings or warrior related stuff

war = anti war , government stuff

demons and shit

unless its christian metal then its bible stuff .

Wrong.

Environmentalism, whales from Mars, abstract existential stuff. [I will concede that there is a song about dragons on that album.]

Concept album based on Moby Dick.

Sci-fi themes, space travel/exploration, human experimentation

Nature of existence, holofractal reality, interpersonal relationships

Plus sex/drinking, warrior stuff, anti-government themes [to an extent, I'm mainly thinking of Jesus vs. the moneylenders/pharisees] and demons and shit ARE bible stuff.

didnt iron maiden cover all that stuff already tho ?

So you do know that metal bands don't just sing about the 4 things you listed.

let me just edit my post to say there are more than 4 things and add "weird shit and other crap" as a 5th

Metal is fucking awesome.

DRINK DRIVE DRINK DIE I WILL LAUGH FAMILY CRIES WASTED YOUTH GO AWAY LOSE THE LIFE IS WHAT I SAY DRINK THAT .40, LITTLE KID YOU SOLD OUT JUST LIKE DWID DRINK THAT .40 LITTLE KID YOU SOLD OUT JUST LIKE DWID TRUE TILL DEATH IT WILL COME TRUE WHEN IM BEATING YOU

Quality lyrics

That's not metal. I googled those lyrics to listen, that's a hardcore band and they're shitty hardcore at that. You can find bands with shit lyrics in any genre, and you didn't even get the right genre. Come on, dude.

Allow me to retort.

Augury - Alien Shores

Wake the world out of slumber

From cattle some have raised to redeem memory

All shall come discover the world into eyes of lunacy

Gateways to the unknown, wide open they call

Intuition peeks beyond the veil of lies

Lucid delirium in the eye of enemy

Seemed like a hoax, now yields verity.

We call for disclosure

And the curtain is sooner to fall

It might give a jolt, release all holds

And I swear that this time no one will reel you back in

You'll no longer care about how it was in your life before

Once you'll see that I've seen beyond this crumbling theatre set

That we were domesticated to call reality

Filigrees all across Mercator, outlandish alien shores

Majestic signatures of wisdom lost wait

Their names erased, painted over, forgotten

More and more (of) you come aboard

We are raising anchor to sail far away

Against winds and tides

We yearn to regain what memories have lost

We will walk the Earth with an inner compass steering our way

Partake the crusade, to free those minds in need for the horizon

The veil torn with word of mouth

Absolute weapon lays in all minds

In your heart, in your soul,

Inquisition visibly carried on, only quit burning people

Yet we see the fervor rising, exhilarating

Global hunger for illumination

Alius sum! Alius sum!

A stranger in the eye of the ignorant
