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 27:
 
== Satanism ==
* Almost everything by [[Venom (Musicband)|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.
* A lot of Saxon songs, most notably "Heavy Metal Thunder".
* "Black Metal" (the [[Black Metal|genre]]'s [[Trope Namer]]) by [[Venom (Musicband)|Venom]].
* NanowaR sometimes parodied this with weakly linked, but [[Large Ham|strongly screamed]] lines, using either Metal or [[Heavy Mithril]] 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''.
Line 44:
== Psychopathy ==
* "Criminally Insane" and "Dead Skin Mask" by [[Slayer]].
* "Schizoid" by [[Venom (Musicband)|Venom]].
 
== Modern warfare ==
Line 51:
 
== Ancient warfare ==
* Most songs by [[Dragonforce (Music)|DragonforceDragonForce]]; 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]]?
