Metal on Metal

Something that always makes me smile is when a metal band has a song about metal, or some metal-related activity or something in some way connected with metal. The sense of don't-give-a-fuck-ness and total preoccupation with metal itself is as a cheesy as fuck but I find it entertaining none the less. I mean come on you don't get folk bands with songs banging on about how great folk music is.



Look at this for poetry, W.B. Yeats would be proud:

Murder in the front row crowd begins to bang
And there's blood upon the stage
Bang your head against the stage
And metal takes its price
Bonded by blood



Why not invent a genre while you're at it? Venom did it too sure and they were cool.



Again, poetry of the highest quality:

Metal madness engulfs the stage
In the pit you come of age
Let battle commence, no space for the weak
The thrasher's dreams are now complete



If you're going to write a song about metal you might as well overdo it, I mean really take it over the top. Come on it's the metal way to do it.
