Any Bar Italia fans here? New band from England that is the cream of the crop when it comes to new ‘indie’. The female vocalist Nina Cristante is confirmed aware of Ray’s work (a friend of mine asked her at a show in NY). Their whole catalog is fantastic.

Massacration is an adored band where I live. People embrace their humor and worship them as heavy metal masters.

The context and lyrics are from Letras. It's a shame that you won't be able to catch some subtleties.

Massacration - Metal Is the Law

The Anthem of Metal: A Satirical Ode to Heavy Metal Culture

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.

Ai
Ai, ai, ai
Ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai
Em cima, embaixo, puxa e vai

Ai, ai, ai
Ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai
Em cima, embaixo, puxa e vai

If you want to be metal
The laws you got obey
The laws of Gods of metal
And that's what I'll say
Wow!

If you want to be metal
No avacalhation
Use black forever
Go to the show of Massacration

No! Boiolation!
Frescuration!
Viadation!

Die! Reggae idiota!
Mambo escroto!
Forró babaca!

Metal is the law
The law is the metal
Metal the law is
Metal
Wow!

Now that you are metal
Metal you are
Never, never, never, never, never
Use bermuda

No! Boiolation!
Frescuration!
Viadation!

Die! Música eletrônica de bicha!
Pop de viados!
Dance, no!

Metal is the law
The law is the metal
Metal the law is
Metal
Wow!

Massacration - Metal Is My Life

The Anthem of Metal Devotion

Massacration's song "Metal Is My Life" is a humorous and exaggerated ode to the genre of heavy metal. The lyrics are filled with hyperbolic comparisons, placing metal above various beloved and essential aspects of life, such as food, technology, and even sex. The song's playful tone and over-the-top declarations reflect the band's satirical approach to music, often poking fun at the stereotypes and clichés associated with heavy metal culture.

The repeated assertion that "metal is my life" serves as a mantra for the die-hard metal fan, emphasizing the genre's importance and centrality in their existence. By comparing metal to lasagna, sushi, and even Google, the song humorously elevates the genre to a status of utmost importance, suggesting that nothing else can compare to the power and satisfaction that metal provides. This exaggeration is a common trope in Massacration's music, which often blends comedy with a genuine love for metal.

The lyrics also touch on the communal and energetic aspects of metal culture. Phrases like "bang the head, abre a rodinha, put pro alto a mãozinha" highlight the physical and social activities associated with metal concerts, such as headbanging and moshing. The call to "no vacilation, vem com o Massacration" invites listeners to join in the fun and embrace the metal lifestyle without hesitation. This sense of community and shared passion is a key element of the metal scene, and the song captures this spirit with its lively and inclusive message.

Overall, "Metal Is My Life" is a celebration of heavy metal's unique culture and the unwavering dedication of its fans. Through its humorous and exaggerated lyrics, the song pays tribute to the genre's power, energy, and sense of community, making it an anthem for metal enthusiasts everywhere.

Metal is my life
Metal is my life

Metal is better than lasanha
And look, I'm família italiana
Metal is important to me
'Cause metal is better than sushi

Metal is my life
Metal is my life

Metal is better than Xvideos
And look, I'm very punhetation
Metal is better than Google
Metal é melhor que essas coisa tudo

Metal is my life
Metal is my life

No Guaraná, no chocolate
Eu quero é se divertir
Guitar no retorno, bota mais alto pra mim
Bang the head, abre a rodinha, put pro alto a mãozinha
No vacilation, vem com o Massacration

Metal is my life
'Cause metal is my life
Metal is my life
Metal is my life

Metal is power and success
Metal is better than sex

Massacration - Evil Papagali

The Mischievous Power of the 'Evil Papagali'

Massacration's song 'Evil Papagali' is a humorous and exaggerated tale of a demonic parrot that embodies the spirit of heavy metal. The lyrics introduce us to a small bird that has come from hell, bringing with it a rebellious and violent nature. This parrot, being unable to fly, is described as enjoying fighting and killing, which adds a layer of dark comedy to the song. The bird's demand for 'biscoito' (Portuguese for 'cracker') further emphasizes its quirky and absurd character.

The song's narrative is filled with playful contradictions and over-the-top imagery. The parrot, referred to as 'Evil Papagali,' is portrayed as a powerful and malevolent creature, yet it also has mundane desires like wanting a cookie. This juxtaposition creates a satirical tone, poking fun at the often serious and intense themes found in heavy metal music. The repeated chant of 'Loro quer biscoito' (Polly wants a cracker) serves as a catchy and humorous refrain that contrasts with the otherwise dark and aggressive imagery.

'Evil Papagali' also reflects Massacration's signature style, which blends heavy metal with comedic elements. The band is known for its parody of metal culture, and this song is a perfect example of their approach. By creating a character like the 'Evil Papagali,' Massacration not only entertains but also critiques the genre's sometimes self-serious nature. The song's energetic and chaotic structure, with its thrash and mosh elements, mirrors the wild and unpredictable behavior of the titular parrot, making it a memorable and engaging piece.
