Dear lord you metalheads listen to some disturbing music.

A lot of metal bands use graphic images and lyrics for shock value; I personally prefer metal that has a more introspective, poetical nature.

A few more favorites:

Death Metal covers a wide variety of subjects, not just blood and gore.... >.> some take it seriously, and some don't.

for instance...

-PRION touches on political and social problems

-The Faceless delves into the mysteries of space...aliens and s***

- Nile's lyrics revolve around ancient Egypt

-Kataklysm's lyrics revolve around stuff like politics, historical events and war

-Benighted's lyrics are more about Zombies...

-Disavowed is all about 'teh th30ree 0v evolushun'

-Martyr is all about the Philosophical shiz

-Quo Vadis is also in that same category

-The Contortionist is similar to The Faceless in terms of lyrics

-and Cephalic Carnage is all about the Marijuana, man...

and there's tons more.

Horrific, I can't believe you did'nt mention the cover art for the In Flames album Come Clarity, or the masterpiece on the front of Watains epic, satanistic wonder Lawless darkness. It's pure darkness.

I also like Gamma Ray covers for some reason.

Lady Gaga covers scare the f*** of me.
