I've been tossing this around in my head as a kind of fun game or meme, making quick descriptions of metal sub-genres by what they like to set on fire (based on lyrical themes, cultural context, major events, whatever).
The ones I've thought of so far:
Thrash Metal - Set the bassist on fire
Black Metal - Set the church on fire
Progressive Metal - Set the world on fire.
Power Metal - Set the Universe on fire
More ideas? Alternatives? Other sub-genres? Go go go!
Djent - EVERYONE USE AMD
Stoner Metal - Set the kush on fire.
Viking Metal - Set various things on fire.
Heavy metal- set the various metals (elements) on fire
Emo metal- set myself on fire
thrash - set anything on fire
stoner - set nothing on fire (too much work, man)
black - set your depression meds on fire
prog - set anything on fire slowly and methodically
power - set stuff on fire and make a big show of it
drone - set the amps on fire
death - set carbon-based life forms on fire
brutal death - set carbon-based life forms on fire, but be more thorough and angry about it
anything 'core' - set good music on fire
Yeah. 'brutal' bands just make me laugh tbh. A lot of really un-listenable stuff there imo :D
...I'm also extra salty about 'brutal' stuff because I just finished the August metal monthly thread yesterday and there's a shitload of it being released next month that I had to listen to lol
Industrial (well Rammstein) - Set the crowd on fire, and them selves, or well anyone is arms reach.
we can change that . . . but you might regret what you become! :D
Black - I'm on fire in hell for blasphemy
Death - Set the corpse on fire
Gore Grind - Set the corpse you're defiling on fire
Power - Set the dragon on fire
Prog Metal - My strings spontaneously combusted from sheer speed
Trash Metal - Gimme fuel gimme fire
Death core - TRVE KVLT set them on fire already
Stoner - Set these nuggets on fire
If you think all metal lyrics are like this then you need to listen to something like prog metal, power metal, symphonic metal, etc.
Stoner metal - Set the bong on fire
Doom metal - set the coffin on fire... a black fire that yields no light, and do it from the inside.
Glam metal - Set the pound of makup on your face on fire
Hair Metal - Set your hair on fire?
Pirate Metal - Set the ship on fire
Symponic Power metal - set your soul on fire
LOL
Celtic metal- Set the Brits on fire.
