Trve Thinking Man's Metal

Naysayers will be always hating and making fun of us nerds and avid book worms, but don't let them put you inside the closet and let the pedantic inside of you show your appreciation for artists who care about complex and deep topics that require some reading background!
1Isis
Panopticon


Orwell, Rheingold, Kaczynski and Steffen among many others warned us against the implications of technology on human societies. Time is proving them right...
2Neurosis
Souls at Zero


Lyrics which deal with evolution through suffering, pain, spirituality and gnostic philosophy weren't so cool back then in metal. Absolute legends.
3Tool
10,000 Days


It's Tool, so... (will trigger the haters even more rofl)
4Gorguts
Colored Sands


Gorguts (Luc Lemmay) took the history route and released albums with historical concepts like the Tibetan history and The House of Wisdom library...
5Cynic
Focus


Paul Masvidal likes to think in buddhist terms and that shows in his lyrics. Funnily enough, the next album in the list contains a song that was written to critizice his 'psudo-intellectualism'. Gotta love metal beefs
6Death
Individual Thought Patterns


Chuck loved to think about many things, including spirituality, aliens and outer planets. He would have loved to be a cook if he had not been a legendary musician though.
7Ihsahn
Arktis.


Ihsahn's lyrics show the mind of someone who spends some time doing introspection and ordering the thoughts inside the mind. He also has that nerd attitude. Love the guy.
8Kayo Dot
Hubardo


Toby Driver will always be tagged as a pretentious individual for his way of expressing through music. I don't care, he is one of the best to ever do it. Always thinking outside the box and pushing the boundaries. Unsurprisingly his interviews show an individual who cares and thinks before forming opinions.
9Steven Wilson
Hand. Cannot. Erase.


Not metal enough? I don't care, the guy is a natural born thinker and everything he does has a lot reflection and care upon it.
10Gojira
From Mars to Sirius


Their lyrics rule very hard. Always deep. They popularized ecology awareness inside the metal community and that will always be a plus for me.
11Panopticon
The Rime of Memory


Atmospheric Black Metal is a perfect vessel for reflective and pensive lyrics. Nature, history, social justice and sprituality lyrics fit like a glove here.
12Devin Townsend
Empath


Devin always had an intellectual inside and you all know it. Some of the best lyrics in the business.
13Deathspell Omega
Fas - Ite, Maledicti, In Ignem Aeternum


If you love the absurd philosophy as much as me chances are you will truly enjoy the philosophical lyrics of DsO. Full of quotes and references to Bataille and other absurd authors.
14Dodheimsgard
A Umbra Omega


Dark philosophy never sounded so good. The prog and theatrical aspects of their music adds to the the pensive atmosphere.
15The Ocean
Heliocentric


Do you like the philosophy behind atheism/agnosticism? Do you like Richard Dawkins's books? You'll love the Ocean lyrics then.
16Ulcerate
Shrines of Paralysis
17Leprous
Bilateral
18Meshuggah
Catch Thirtythree
19Pelican
Australasia


Peak Instrumental/Atmospheric Sludge Metal music to reflect and think.
20Dream Theater
Train of Thought


The title says it all...
21Obscura
A Valediction
22Lychgate
Also Sprach Futura


A very overlooked band with great philosophical lyrics
23Alcest
Souvenirs D'Un Autre Monde
24Rosetta
A Determinism of Morality
25Agalloch
Faustian Echoes
