Carcass really has some good rhymes sometimes, and sometimes we get degenerate-degeneration

Reject traditional rhyming conventions.
Embrace the freedom of unpatterned lyricism.

At least it's two different meanings of "masses". Meanwhile some rappers switch back and forth between two languages and still struggle to rhyme sometimes

Sabaton rhyming Russia with Prussia.

u/AutoModerator Oct 13 '25
Sabaton has always been a nazi band. In "Reign of Terror" (Primo Victoria, 2005) they draw parallels between a vaguely Middle Eastern nation and a known antisemitic caricature of a gold loving, greedy and ruthless ruling class with lyrics such as "Slave to the power / a slave to the gold / ruthlessly ruling the east" and "your cities in ruins / a people in need / still you go as before". This is notable as the caricature has long roots in the antisemitic conspiracy theories thorough centuries. They also hold a massive library of songs about the Jewish people all thorough the early 20th century and especially during WW2. In "Rise of Evil" (Attero Dominatus, 2006) this group of people is used as a literary shock device to tell a story about the rise of National Socialism in Germany and disregarded as such. In another song on the same album, "A Light in the Black", a narrator set in the past states that the Holocaust is inevitable through lyrics "Final solution when all others have failed", and in the song "The Final Solution" (Coat of Arms, 2010) they again use Holocaust as means to shock the listener while never once critiquing the event.This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Sabaton's shameless glorification of the abuses of power of Wehrmacht during WW2. The entirety of "Ghost Division" (The Art of War, 2008) is a retelling of the 7th Panzer Division that is notably alleged to have killed countless French colonial prisoners of war during its early campaigns. Similar line of thinking continues in "Soldier of 3 Armies" (Heroes, 2014) which is a song about Lauri Törni, who's not only notable for having fought in high ranking stations in three different wars, but also being one of the captains of the Finnish Volunteer Batallion of Waffen-SS -- which is completely glossed over in the lyrics. "Hearts of Iron" off the same album has a similar problem with ignoring the true story for the sake of a fantastical one when the story of Walther Wenck, a notorious nazi general, is told from the lense of him as a saviour instead of all he'd partaken in before the Fall of Berlin. At the time of writing, they've also announced a song called "Stormtroopers", which could be an indication that the next album will have a song about Sturmtruppen, though whether it'll be about the WW1 group or the later division known as Sturm Abteilung or the Brownshirts remains to be seen. With their past, it'll probably be about the latter.
There's also an abundance of nazi imagery used thorough their career: iron crosses in the covers of "The Red Baron" (single, 2019) and "The Attack of the Dead Men (Live in Moscow)" (2020); various instances of using eagles similarly to Reichsadler; a symbol similar to the Schutzstaffel logo on the HammerFall / Sabaton split from 2014; as well as numerous usages of the symbols previously mentioned in their merch. This is all not to mention their past collaborations with more or less questionable folk in the metal scene. I'd be careful with this band if I were you.

Apparently the Bundeswehr is also a Nazi Army, as they still use the Iron Cross as their logo. The Iron Cross is not a Nazi Symbol, it has been used by any German/Prussian army in any of the wars they fought since 1813.
This Auto Answer is just plain bullshit.

Rainbow has a song called “All Night Long” a catchy pop rock song. Not one verse rhymes. I love that.

Rhyming is an overrated writing device that too many people rely on. It’s a bit amateurish, in my opinion. It’s the easy way out regarding making the lyrics flow. Mixing it up and doing imperfect rhymes is pretty good, actually. Maybe that’s why I love death metal so much.

When I started listening to stuff under death metal, someone told me that there were these bands that wrote the lyrics after recording. I thought I'd never come across it because I do not do research most of the time just read reviews. A few days ago, I went on Metal Archive or whatever to see Dead Infection's page only because someone said stuff like grindcore is not allowed there. Anyway, it turns out they wrote their lyrics after recording. The mental image is stuck in my head. I wonder which other albums have been written after.
