Lyrics recommendations

[shikuz]

I was looking for something nice to do during a couple of boring hours tomorrow, and it occured to me that reading some dark lyrics isn't such a bad idea.

Could you recommend on some albums with exceptionally well-written texts?

 

[SoulVomitor]

Anything by Cannibal Corpse, but don't get any ideas about using their methods on those darned Palestinians.

 

[Ormir]

Dark Tranquillity - Skydancer. The subjects draw heavily from English poets, 19th century romanticisim, and philosophical and shamanistic themes. Possibly the best lyrics in metal.

 

[Survivor Of The Lake]

Read some stuf by:

Converge
Tool
Pig Destroyer
Dark Tranquillity
Rush
Dream Theater

 

[Sacrilicious]

Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale

 

[The Deathrace King]

Tool, Cephalic Carnage, OLD Cryptopsy

 

[HarmonyDies....]

Dark Tranquillity

 

[SculptedCold]

Can't really go wrong with Dark Tranquillity..... also, Emperor, Cradle Of Filth, Zyklon, Meshuggah, Theatre Of Tragedy.

 

[verkoelen]

Nile - Egyptian history, and Lovecraftian horror stories

 

[St. Vitus]

My Dying Bride and old Judas Priest.

 

[The Deathrace King]

Ahhh... yes, I second Zyklon.

 

[_A_SCARLET_SUNSET_]

Cradle of Filth

 

[Wanderingblade]

Dark Tranquillity, early In Flames (up to and inc. Whoracle), My Dying Bride, Emperor...

 

[opacity]

you might also read Alastis lyrics (esp. from "unity") and Lux Occulta lyrics (esp. from "my guardian anger" ) and don't miss Morgul

 

[Dionysos]

In the Woods... have the best lyrics for me especially the "Omnio" album...
MonumentuM and Devil Doll also did a serious damage in my brain....

 

[union9]

Anything Mike Patton ever wrote.
Also My Dying Bride,Nick Cave,Samael and hahahaha Anal Cunt
