Political Heavy Metal

[no country for old wainds]

fuck christianity, fuck you

 

[Blinded By Blood]

Many grindcore bands have political lyrics/themes in their music

I find political music boring and wrong for the most part. Socially based lyrics are better anyways

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Shit I totally forgot the most Political Band ever

NAPALM DEATH

 

[ohiogrinder]

fuck Propaghandi and fuck Crass

the best political band is Absurd.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

and what has Christianity done to you?

oh besides having it shoved in my face and up my ass every fucking day...

 

[Zephyrus]

right....

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Napalm Death and M.O.D. come to mind.

 

[Chastise]

soad maybe.. if you can call them a metal band ofcourse.. (fucking posers) i think it's napalm death too..

 

[metal_wrath]

Lamb of God is very political.

Die.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Die.

Um you're retarded, they very much are.

 

[metal_wrath]

If you think Lamb of God is political than you must think that Aborted are a scientific band

Um, half of LoG songs are basically about the war and government.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Metallica sing about Wars, i love it. One, Disposible heroes, For whom the bell tolls for example

Are you insane? Ashes of the Wake is extremely political.

 

[metal_wrath]

Are you insane? Ashes of the Wake is extremely political.

I have the album in my hand (Dualdisc) and all I am saying is that this band is possibly the worst example of a political band, and besides having some anti-bush lyrics and some anti-war sound clips on the instrumental, they are a poor excuse for a band dealing with political matters. They are more of an apocalyptic themed band. I would probably rather go with Unearth anyway.

 

[KMADD]

Unearth is just as terrible as LOG. Piss poor metalcore that wants to be metal
for the Hot Topic generation.

 

[metal_wrath]

Haha, but they are a very good band.

for whom the bell tolls is about at scene from the hemmingway book

Other than those already mentioned (especially Napalm Death, Metallica and Lamb Of God)-
Brujeria- Other than the devil worship and drug taking/selling themes, there are some interesting ideas in there
God Forbid- They called an album Consitution Of Treason, I think they were trying to make a point there...
Gojira- Did an entire album about the saving the whales. Good as it might be, that still therefore makes them hippies
One Minute Silence- Are they metal, are they not? Before you post a reply, remeber I don't give a shit either way.
Pitchshifter
Sepultura
S.O.D- Fuck The Middle East, amongst other clasics

And I can't believe that Slayer haven't got a mention yet

But of course, real metal is all about well buff, half naked, half leather clad men covered in baby oil. Obviously.

 

[KMADD]

Damn im suprised i didn't mentioned Sepultura esp. Chaos AD.
