Line 1: {{trope}} Many [[~~Heavy Metal (Music)\|~~Heavy Metal]] fans and musicians seem to agree that in their genre, lyrics don't matter very much - or rather, that how the lyrics ''sound'' is a lot more important than what the lyrics ''mean''. Thus, a lot of [[~~Heavy Metal (Music)\|~~Heavy Metal]] music has generic, largely meaningless lyrics. Common themes (with some of their standard words) for Mad Lib Metal Lyrics include: * [[Rock Me, Asmodeus\|Satanism]]: [[Captain Obvious\|'Satan']], 'Antichrist', 'Hell', 'Sodom', 'Gomorra', and [[The Bible\|biblical]] references in general. Line 12: Note that, except [[Heavy Meta]], all these themes have violence, death and [[World of Ham\|hamminess]] in common. Also, metal lyrics about any of these themes are not necessarily Mad Lib Metal Lyrics - this trope is about ''generic'' and ''meaningless'' metal lyrics. The popularity of different themes varies across metal subgenres: the "traditional" metal of the [[The Seventies\|late seventies]] and [[The Eighties\|early eighties]] mostly uses [[Heavy Meta]]. [[Thrash Metal]] loves modern warfare ,<ref>no, not the shooting game</ref>, as well as Satanism (but not as much as [[Black Metal]]) and [[Gorn]] (but not as much as [[Death Metal]]). Ancient warfare and [[Heavy Mithril]] mostly show up in [[Power Metal]] and [[Folk Metal]]. This trope is about lyrics, but the same pattern often shows up in band, album and song names. Line 24: This trope's examples are far too numerous to list; a few examples for explanatory purposes will do. {{examples~~\|Examples:~~ }} == Satanism == * Almost everything by [[Venom (~~Music~~band)\|Venom]]. * A lot of [[Slayer]] songs, including "The Antichrist". Line 36: == [[Heavy Meta]] == * [[~~Metallica (Music)\|~~Metallica]] usually averts Mad Lib Metal Lyrics, but "Metal Militia" is a fine example of this trope. ** Metallica's ''No Life 'til Leather'', presumably a snowclone of Motorhead's ''No Sleep 'til Hammersmith''.▼ * A lot of Saxon songs, most notably "Heavy Metal Thunder". * "Black Metal" (the [[Black Metal\|genre]]'s [[Trope Namer]]) by [[Venom (~~Music~~band)\|Venom]]. * [[Nanowar of Steel\|NanowaR]] sometimes parodied this with weakly linked, but [[Large Ham\|strongly screamed]] lines, using either Metal or [[Heavy Mithril]] ~~themes -- up~~themes—up to a [[List Song]] of metals (and alloys). ▲* Metallica's ''No Life 'til Leather'', presumably a snowclone of Motorhead's ''No Sleep 'til Hammersmith''. == Psychopathy == * "Criminally Insane" and "Dead Skin Mask" by [[Slayer]]. * "Schizoid" by [[Venom (~~Music~~band)\|Venom]]. == Modern warfare == Line 51: == Ancient warfare == * Most songs by [[~~Dragonforce (Music)\|Dragonforce~~DragonForce]]; it would be shorter to list the songs that aren't. * "Blood Is The Price Of Glory" and "Victory Song" by [[~~Ensiferum (Music)\|~~Ensiferum]]. == [[Heavy Mithril]] == * "Deathbringer From The Sky" by [[~~Ensiferum (Music)\|~~Ensiferum]]. * Anything by [[Manowar]] that isn't [[Heavy Meta]] or based on Norse mythology. ** So, [[Process Of Elimination\|nothing]] by [[Manowar]]?
