Metal bands have always loved a good epic. Rhyme Of the Ancient Mariner, One, Victim of Changes... a whole bunch of Dream Theater songs....basically a chance to fit in some extended soling, Proggy time changes and two and a half pages of lyrics.
Then there's bands that go the other way. Bands that take the stripped down, no frills approach of Punk and file it down even further. Throw in a vicious sense of humour and you have the bands I'm posting today.
Every single one of these songs has the word "Metal" in the title.
Just don't expect the usual fist-in-the air stuff.

The Anal Treatment XXXperience - Black Metal Boy-Toy (Greece 2014)
(I am anticipating some novel search queries coming my way because of this one.)

Have you noticed that these are getting shorter and shorter?
Blister Unit - Gunmetal (USA 2010)
(Probably more punk than Metal but fuck it.
Their Final Examiner album had 44 tracks on it!)
It took longer to post that song than it did to listen to it!

Yeah..definitely some examples of "Nice song title, shame about the tune." happening here.
DeleteI might do some epics next time around.
