Fifteen bucks and I got a digital download and a decently made CD in a hand written envelope. It was such a nice gesture that felt bad about getting Vorace for free.

A lot of people don't like Lich King but I do. They don't take poo poo too seriously but they can be serious and they can write a very good song.

It killed me when I got Ghost Bath- Funeral on Bandcamp and the mp3s came with lyrics in them. You're not fooling anyone, guys.

I used to think Children of Bodom* were lame for not putting their lyrics in the booklets but then I got a look at some of their lyrics and they don't make a goddamned lick of sense so what's the point?

I still listen to their blue album every once in a while because I like it and why the hell are you paying attention to metal lyrics unless it's this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7zk4as9kzA

These guys really are loving tight. And their energy is really quite something. Pretty fun live, too.

Also loving Lich King, gotta look into them some more. Thanks Bruce Kison for posting them.

Because.

Oh and Wuthering Heights have some great lyrics too.

Well to be fair I usually don't actively pay attention, but particularly good or bad lyrics will still stand out.

Uhhh metal lyrics are very important. If you're not paying attention to them you'll never know who the kings of metal are, who possesses the gloves of metal, or who would die for metal. I mean the gods made heavy metal for a reason, and you have to pay attention to know why.

As far as I know they only existed to make that one song in Hackers.

Also, am I an enormous nerd/jerk for going to an Animals as Leaders show and enjoying it? Is it acceptable to listen to them, Scale the Summit, Intervals (before the singer) and all that?
I never cared for Animals as Leaders but I enjoy Scale the Summit a lot in similar ways (good to listen to while working, etc.). it''s one of those things where it definitely seems dorky both in theory and practice but I like it so who cares?

I'm pretty sure I remember reading something about Alexi basically freestyle making up the lyrics as he went along on Something Wild.

I don't really pay attention to lyrics all that often from bands where you can't really make out what they're saying, unless it's a killer song and I want to be able to growl along

It's true, Alexi's vocabulary seems to consist of "war" "hate" "raaaur" and "yow yow yow".

it's almost exactly the same as their first (and second) album but with shittier production

Nordick

Yes.
Well, they're a bit too much doom metal for me. I don't like full-blown doom that much, I prefer it as a flavouring on top of more usual heavy metal like they do with Arkham Witch.
Some of their songs are pretty interchangeable though.


Anyways, this got a few chuckles out of me. Dad metal!

Manowar references/worship aside I'll cop to usually enjoying metal lyrics and them mattering somewhat to me. I've got a great love of the absurd, and metal lyrics tend toward being the platonic ideal of absurd.

Take a band like Exodus. Yeah there's thrash going on and that's great, but the lyrics have this "no, gently caress you dad" quality to them that strikes me as hilarious so I enjoy their stuff a lot more than I would otherwise. This goes for scores of other bands too, mind you. Obviously I enjoy Manowar but it's almost entire because of how goddamned over the top dumb the lyrics are. Likewise, Impaled Northern Moonforest will have a place in my heart eternally because random growls punctuated by "satan" and "the devil" is genius.

Yeah I get you. I don't like most cheesy power metal type lyrics but the only time I legitimately get annoyed is uber-tough guy Pantera stuff. I think "Walk" is pretty much the most embarrassing song ever, but sacrificing virgins to Satan is fine because it's clearly supposed to be fun and/or scare uptight people.
