Metal Is The Law

Massacration's song "Metal Is The Law" is a humorous and exaggerated tribute to the heavy metal subculture. The band, known for their satirical take on metal music, uses this song to both celebrate and poke fun at the rigid stereotypes and rules often associated with being a true metalhead. The lyrics are filled with hyperbolic commands and declarations, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the 'laws' of metal, such as wearing black and attending metal concerts.

The song opens with a repetitive chant, creating a ritualistic atmosphere that sets the tone for the rest of the track. The lyrics then dive into a series of exaggerated rules that one must follow to be considered truly metal. These rules include avoiding certain types of music and fashion choices, such as reggae, electronic music, and wearing shorts (bermuda). The use of terms like "boiolation" and "frescuration" adds a layer of absurdity, highlighting the band's comedic approach.

Massacration also takes a jab at other music genres and their fans, using derogatory language to emphasize the supposed superiority of metal. This is clearly a satirical exaggeration, meant to mock the elitist attitudes sometimes found within the metal community. The repeated phrase "Metal is the law" serves as both a rallying cry and a parody of the genre's often self-serious nature. By blending humor with a genuine love for metal, Massacration creates a song that both entertains and critiques the culture it celebrates.
