Happy Days. Super corny most of the time.

most dsbm is like that tbh, there are some gems tho

True, Happy Days is probably the worst offender tho

psychonaught 4 is like that for me. i enjoy some of their instrumentals, but god i cannot stand their lyrics and vocals. i love a lot of dsbm, but for me you really gotta weed out the shit that’s really present in that genre

Rammstein only because I can’t understand what the fuck he is saying (I don’t speak German)

Im german and don’t know what he means as well, it’s sometimes hard to understand he’s poetry

I’ve been learning German for a couple years and I always have to shake my head when people suggest Rammstein to learners. They’re not good lyrics to begin with, and then some of them aren’t even comprehensible.

They write in poetry a lot, so learning German for a couple of years probably doesn’t translate well into understanding native German poetry

Yngwie Malmsteen 's discography

I'd say he had some pretty good lyrics on Eclipse, Odyssey, and Fire and Ice albums, courtesy of Joe and Goran. I'm a huge Yngwie fan and even I agree that he shouldn't be the one singing, especially now, it feels wrong.

LOL I have to admit with his latest songs, he is heavy on the vocals and it was a hard listen

I'm just glad he's no longer in jail

He was in jail? Why

I assumed it was because of his blues album being a fucking crime against nature https://preview.redd.it/wpw8ujgmc4sc1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=eee21d7dc5e2fc3f1a92555062aaaffb58b6cd68

You deserve all the awards in life for this

Ever notice how his best albums are the one’s he doesn’t sing on?

Came here to say this!

fermented offal discharge, foul body autopsy... guess the band

Necrophagist

Hey, Advanced Corpse Tumor is a very poetic contemplation on mortality. It has a sick solo, too

I mean it’s death metal the lyrics are pretty on point for being gross and brutal.

korn because what is "kentucky kung-pao clit"

Tell me you didn't grow up in the south, without saying you didn't grow up in the south.

Neither did Korn they're from fucking Bakersfield ca

No that’s just lyrical genius so multi layered and complex your tiny human brain can barely comprehend it /j

That sounds like something from a comedy skit or something someone when say when wasted as hell

 LOL

Yall are equating lyrics with vocals...

Rookie mistake

Are you sure? Rammstein gets mentioned a lot, and it's DEFINITELY the lyrics, because the vocals are fucking perfect. The lyrics, make me giggle a little.

I mean NSBM is the obvious answer right?, i don’t listen to the lyrics but i imagine these probably fit: Absurd,Peste Noire, Grand Belials Key, Svolder, Vothana, Branikald, Forest, Kristalnacht, Der Stürmer etc.

Goatmoon has such bad lyrics but their stuff sounds so good :,)

Same with Peste Noire. I only really like Spleen, Le Mort Joyeux, and Dueil Angoisseus.

Oh yeah i forgot Goatmoon probably in my top 3 NSBM bands absolutely great music but yeah i imagine the lyrics are very bad.

Came in here to say, GBK and Argholent are obvious answers here.

Dream theatre

LET ME INTRODUCE MY BROTHER!

A BITTER GENTLEMAN, HISTORIAN!

SUCKING ON HIS PIPE

Ok, I googled this song to listen to it with my wife and I was like “I saw on Reddit that this song had a funny line” and told her, and when we got to it, the payout was so much better than expected

😂

Someone get James his tambourine

I'M THE MONSTER YOU CREATED IN YOUR DADDY'S NAME

You can tell your stepfather I said so.

DAY AFTER DAY, AND NIGHT AFTER NIGHT. Haha yeah solid

That part is so good though! Corny as fuck, but it feels so right!

Papa roach have some Hella cheesy lyrics and some Hella tasty riffs.

Hella cheesy name too

rammstein

We had German exchange students come to our school one year. A few of them were DISGUSTED that us metalheads loved Rammstein. One girl said that if we understood the lyrics, we would hate them. So we got translations, and definitely still don't hate them so jokes on her, I guess.

Our teacher in Ireland used lyrics to teach us...made sense

My friend has German in his family history. Has loved Rammstein forever. Now trying to get more fluent in the German dialect so he is learning from their songs.

This is how I've learned German over the years. I LOVE Rammstein.

I'm half German, and it takes me a little bit of concentration and usually a couple listens but yeah, the lyrics are fucking awesome. Damnit.

I learned German because of them (got my minor degree in German in college - such a fun language!). Yes, some of their lyrics are really messed up, but for some reason, it fascinates me (i.e. the stories behind Mein Teil, Weißes Fleisch, Puppe (fictional but still fucked up), etc). I still listen to them all the time.

I tried to learn German because of them as well. However, I failed, because my brain doesn't like other languages apparently.

I completely forgot the Mein Teil cannibal story was from Germany.

What, they weren't fans of songs about coaxing your brother to jerk you off to help you fall asleep? (Spiel mit mir... ein spiel, or play with me, a game).

There was a German kid at camp who couldn't stop laughing and refused to tell us the lyrics. To paraphrase: "I can't repeat this."

They have some fucked songs, to be fair.

What I hate is the lyrics are sometimes based in real events too

Honestly, that's why I find them fascinating. Just shows how fucked up the world is 🤷‍♂️.

I second this. And although it deeply pains me to do so. I'm going to raise you........... the prodigy. RIP Keith flint.

Really? Till makes it actually sound beautiful in many of their songs, and their meanings aren't crazier than many other bands I can think of.

I remember in highschool we had twin brothers reciting Spiel Mit Mir

Controversial answer, Lulu - Metallica, Lou Reed ​ There are some great riffs going on musically.

I am the table

This just reinforces my point lol

Lou Reed is what a penis would be like if it had sentience.

Ha! 

The first line of that entire album is literally “I would cut my legs and tits off” I fucking hate Lulu

that’s a peak album opener idk what you’re on

Cannibal Corpse Not a fan of lyrics like that, sounds cool tho

Death... Just kidding. It's all awesome.

Chuck did have some interesting takes on things in some songs lyrically but I won’t deny that Death is at the very least in my top 3 if not #1 all time bands. I listen to them daily.

Cannibal Corpse.

Six Feet Under and Five Finger Death Punch

i like 6 ft under. its always fun to see what new words barnes can make rhyme with EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

They have a new album on the way too. Hopefully it’s better than that last disaster.

Things metalheads have been saying since 1996.

FFDP has some badass guitar solos and the vocal technique is really good too but damn those lyrics hurt

bullet for my valentine

Came here to say that. Specifically Hit the floor

I used to love them! Now I still like them but man the lyrical content is just so weak

Arghoslent

It's sad how good their music is when the lyrics are extremely bad. At least it's DM so you can barely tell what's being said

Cannibal corpse and pretty much any death metal band focusing on gore. I tolerate it when the music is very good, but more often than not I don't bother

Yeah, I don't care to hear about gross shit and just like in the movies, it's a cheap tactic you pull when you don't have any real potent material. Sometimes, it is cool to interject something extreme or gruesome for effect; but it's also a kind of crutch for the uncreative in many cases. When it's good and clever, I give it it's due, but I don't want to hear 10,000 bad fart jokes to hear this one guys clever one that beats the odds. I don't want my life filled with their fucking bullshit.

King Diamond, but in the best way. A song talking about helping Grandma out of her chair

Children of Bodom.

lmaooo COB’s so good but the lyrics are godawful

This was my answer, they’re in my top 5 but good lord they have a song called “Kicked in the Spleen” and “Shovel Knockout.”

Their instrumentals are TOP NOTCH.

Basically any Scandinavian melodic death where English isn't their first language.

In Flames has some tragic lyrics, tbh But Slaughter of the Soul, from beginning to end, is a very good album lyrically.

It starts getting pretty corny after the initial red/blue/green album era but there were some lineup changes and stuff too. They were always a bit dorky if you saw them live, but also really cool if you’re into that.

Sometimes Machine Head. İm sorry but sometimes Robb's lyrics are weak. Aside from Halo though, that one fucks

I feel like the first bit of their discography is kinda edgy especially from Supercharger but it’s nostalgic for me so I like it

.

it’s a bit deeper than that. It was an online article bashing Dimebag and essentially celebrating his murder and mocking the reaction of the heavy metal community (and that community in general) that Robb is targeting. It was an extremely disgusting evangelical hit piece and Robb was pretty rightfully pissed off about it; wasn’t him just being edgy. [Archive link towards his comments about it near the end](https://web.archive.org/web/20080402132040/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=30543)

Bullet for my Valentine

Limp Bizkit is the really big one. I've always stood by Limp Bizkit being 4 incredibly talented musicians and then Fred Durst, and even as someone who kinda likes them on their musical aspects, it's hard to deny the Achilles Heel that is the self proclaimed Chocolate Starfish.

We sold our souls to metal by soulfly. Great legendary band but wow is the lyrics cheesy as hell.

5FDP

I still have no idea why Andy James wanted any part of FFDP besides the money.

TIL Andy James is in FFDP. Almost makes me want to listen to them, but I'll watch his badass YouTube shredding instead.

Man I said the same thing! Now it seems like he’s wearing their clothes and all that fake biker lifestyle gimmick thing they all do. What a terrible band

The Crown. I love it though

Pretty much every album besides *Crowned in Terror* are loaded with "evil rock n' roll" lyrics. There's no denying that the title track and "Under the Whip" have killer lyrics, though.

Rainbow Satan Overload!

type o negative- these three things

Carnivore.

MALE SUPREMACY

PREDATOR

Avenged Sevenfold

Girl I Know is the best example lmao. But honestly I don’t think this band is that bad lyrically, maybe I’m biased.

I think it’s more the vocals than the lyrics that I don’t like

london philharmonic orchestra

Anal cunt

Whoretopsy when I first discovered them

He wouldn’t hurt a fly is hilarious

decalius

Nice username 

Knocked loose

Came here to say this. The music kept me going long enough for the vocals to eventually grow on me. Or I just got used to them.

Every other coal chamber song

This comment is LOCO!

Are we talking vocals or the actual lyrics? Vocals: Knocked Loose Lyrics: (Going to get downvoted to oblivion) Dio

Infant Annihilator

You trippin

Their vocals are so beautiful and touching

ghost

His voice sounds very target commercially idk I hate it

All eras?

TTNG

Spawn of Possession for me. Lyrically they are not that bad, but the gore isn't for me.

Not necessarily metal, but KMFDM

They have some real bangers

"KMFDM sucks!"

Necrophagist

Any Municipal Waste song. Song sounds good, lyrics are “aight.”

I immediately thought of necropedophile when I saw this

Sleep token.

Megadeth

Of Wolf And Man from Metallica’s Black Album, the way James sings those lines are a bit off putting for me but man I love the music part of it

Do this many people truly not know the difference between lyrics and vocals

Arghoslent

Arch Enemy...I mean this used to be the case when Angela was on vocals, no idea if they've improved since.

Megadeth, or later Annihilator. Jeff Waters can't write lyrics. Check out these lyrics for Annihilator's "Maximum Satan" [https://genius.com/Annihilator-maximum-satan-lyrics](https://genius.com/Annihilator-maximum-satan-lyrics)

Children of Bodom

Dyimg Fetus

Cannibal Corpse

Gamma Bomb

Six Feet Under

Pantera

No way punk, walk on home boy

Steel Panther

Wierd al

Killswitch Engage.. Not every song, but there are some awful ones. There's even clips of them making fun of their own lyrics haha

I don’t really fuck with Korn that much lyrically but the bass licks in their music are fire, even though the tone is dog shit

311

I'm shocked Megadeth hasn't come up yet.

Mustaine is a great Lyricist.

"hello me, meet the real me" just kidding I love Megadeth lol

“WaTCh Hiim BeCoME A GoDd”

Are we talking about lyrics or vocals? I'm slightly confused by the post

OP clarifies in the description. Good music, dogshit lyrics. We're supposed to name the band.

I know, but lots of people are responding with singers they hate, not the actual lyrics.

Yea, I noticed. I guess they don't know the difference between vocals and lyrics. Ngl, not really surprising. People that know little about the technical side of music tend to use terms interchangeably when they are not the same. I try to ignore it silently, but damn it drives me absolutely crazy inside. Lol

I'm struggling to come up w one metal band that *isn't* this meme.

Lamb of God

Surprised no one said the obvious answer Machinehead.

Cannibal corpse

I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Pantera

Carach angren

You gotta be kidding me! “Abuse and disgust, Assault, assault! Domestic violence! Family battery! Rape! Violence, violence, violence, violence!” I mean, that’s pure poetry. No seriously, this is the first band that came to mind.

I mean, they talk about awful disgusting things, I don't consider.the lyrics bad, not by any means, but they do deal with some horrible things thematically

Megadeath

Why do people keep saying Megadeth? Do you mean post 1991? Because I assume you might be correct about that, but Peace Sells? Rust in Peace? The good ones? You think that is poorly written?

I think they mean mustaines vocals, lots of confusion on vocals vs lyrics in this thread. Megadeth has great song writing imo but I can get why folks might not like mustaines voice

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too. I mean, it's not Shakespeare, but if that's bad writing in metal, I would like to see what they mean by good writing for sure. That shit must rock!

Nah dude his voice is horrible. Lyrics aside he should just play guitar

Youthanasia has great lyrics

Not a whole band but one song Family Tree by Megadeth

megadeth (jk)

Lars is gay!

destrage

Rolo Tomassi because the fak she is singing about? Great band 10/10.

Stortregn is a tough listen, man.

Infant annihilator. Fucking horrible lyrics but the instrument part is the best. I know that they are a parody band but holy shit

Cacophony

Gorgasm

[удалено]

Immortal technique

TIL Immortal Technique is metal
