A Comprehensive List of Fake Words Used in Metal
In metal, overall effect is way more important than egghead rules of etiquette. While it would be nice if all heavy metal used intelligent, well-placed, and even existent words to describe itself, the laws of the English language can be easily disregarded for a totally badass-sounding Seussian words. Part of the beauty of metal is that you don’t have to think it through too much–or, in some cases, at all.
We’ve given Slayer ample amounts of shit for the title of their new album, Repentless, primarily because that ain’t a fuckin’ word (a fact that even Kerry King didn’t know, apparently). However, it’s unfair to just single Slayer out. If anything, we should be entering ‘repentless’ as a new word in the metal lexicon, alongside the many other fake words created by bands over the years.
