The language of Satan is transmitted from a lower plane, it's felt not heard - that's why metal doesn't need lyrics.

"Yeah, because what metal album has ever done that before amirite fellas?"



I mean in this specific lane of metal it's at least not the default, and I think darker stuff where the narrator is the victim of larger forces generally skews overtly horrific in a way that MftR is not



Tbh I think the lyrics elsewhere on the album are not amazing (Planet B is thematically similar but kind of clunky and obvious, and self-immolate almost reads like a parody of bad thrash lyrics), that one song in particular just really struck me recently

"I like how it takes a non-metal band to make a metal album for people to actually care about metal lyrics."



imo it is very uncontroversial to say that metal is not a lyrically-focused genre overall and metal lyricists have historically gotten away with some pretty egregious lines COUGHjameshetfieldCOUGHCOUGH, I just like to see bands going the extra mile in that regard when they don't necessarily need to

As someone who primarily listens to metal, this is fun as hell. The Sleep worship on Superbug gets me every time. One of these days I'll listen to another KG album...



"COUGHjameshetfieldCOUGHCOUGH"



But my lifestyle determines my deathstyle...

If a band like Red Fang made “Mars for the Rich” it’d be hailed as a huge return to form.

Yeah, like in many other genres so I don't see your point.

Album is all-over-the-place, but it has two metal songs, similar to this album.
