A data scientist (that’s Latin for not really a scientist) decided to compare the frequency of English words used in heavy metal lyrics to their use in everyday English text.
Take a guess at the winner. It’s pretty good:
(Blah blah spoiler space blood demon hell something about vikings yada yada.)
Burn.
Runners up included cries, veins, eternity, and breathe. There’s also a rather amusing list of the least metal words. I’ll officially be amazed if any of you guess the winner there.
I always wanted to be in a thrown together sometimes-band called Deep Pump-hole and the first song/album would’ve been called Rugburn, which sounds pretty metal, in whatever way you wanna look at that.
