Heh, didn't read all the posts. I apologize for being redundant, let's just say you make a good point. But still I don't think Megadeth is metal. Can't say I have sat and listened to all their albums all the way through but what I have heard doesn't strike me as metal. Plus I had to play that goddamned Symphony of Destruction song on Rock Band (or Guitar hero, they all kinda mesh together after a while) so many times I am sick of them just for that. Ok, I just can't stand Mustaine's voice. As for Mortiis the band (or man) I like his darkwave albums. His goth/rock/techno doesn't really grab me, I'll just listen to NIN if I want to hear that kind of stuff. Which reminds me of profound metal lyrics. NIN - Broken, the song "Wish." He won a grammy for it so it must be profound.

Darklyrics.com Go have a field day....but really if you're looking to your metal bands to provide you with some outstanding lyrical poetry then you missed something along the way. I personally hate when a band takes up some bullshit cause and writes all their songs about it. Earth Crisis comes to mind but they had shitty music anyways. Do you all just only read non-fiction books or something? The music is what makes metal. The vocalist is just there as another instrument. I listen to the more "extreme" sub-genres and I couldn't tell you what 1/10th the words to the songs are. Hell a lot of them aren't even in English. So get over this little 14-year old girl obession about being able to identify with the singer and actually appreciate the music for the quality of the sound and not what the people stand for. If you want that there are a billion souless pop-rock albums out there you can identify with to your hearts content. And also don't listen to metal if you don't want hard, heavy, fast music. I know that would seem like a "duh" statement but somehow shit like Slipknot and Lacuna Coil get thrown into the metal category cause they have a few songs where they used distortion. OMG! Part of metal, for me at least, IS the fantastical lyrics and the songs of eating fetuses or killing in the name of Wotan. But there is profundity in metal, you have to look but it is there. And no I am not going to attempt to read your mind and tell you where to find it, cause one man's trash is another man's treasure. Go look at the site I posted above. If you care that much you WILL find what you are looking for...and I doubt it will be profound to me. Oh and Megadeth IS NOT metal!
