Black Metal Sucks

"Over there in Norway, the churches all burn down"

This line references the infamous church burnings linked to black metal, setting a provocative tone that critiques the genre's dark image.

"Awesome leather armbands with spikes like two feet long"

The exaggerated imagery mocks the fashion choices of black metal fans, highlighting the absurdity of prioritizing style over substance.

"If you hate good music, then it can't hurt to go"

This line suggests that embracing black metal is a choice against quality music, reinforcing the song's disdain for the genre.

"Image-conscious assholes, black metal fashion show"

Here, the critique sharpens, accusing black metal fans of being more concerned with appearance than musical integrity.

"I hope that you get hit by a bus. Why?"

This extreme expression of disdain underscores the band's frustration with the superficiality of the black metal scene.

"You know what dude, you look like a schmuck"

A direct insult that conveys the band's contempt for the pretentiousness they observe, grounding the critique in personal interaction.

"I'd rather listen to... us"

This line asserts Lich King's confidence in their own music, positioning it as a superior alternative to the black metal they criticize.

"Lich King rules"

This declaration not only serves as a self-affirmation but also contrasts their authenticity against the perceived inauthenticity of black metal.
