Heavy Metal Poetry about diseases

Heavy metal art is uncompromising in its celebration of life (Dionysian), but it also contains Apollonian aspects, such as discipline and reason. Heavy metal poetry includes a lot of controversial topics and topics that are not so pleasant and usual. This is one of the reasons why Heavy metal culture had a bad reputation. One of the topics that metal poetry deals with are pandemic, viruses, plague, etc. In my lecture, I will show some examples of such poetry. Slayer creates the song "Epidemic" in 1986s, one year later Nuclear Assault record "The Plague" ; Immolation sings about “Fall in Disease” (1991), Iron Maiden in 1996. the released song “Virus”. There is a lot of metal songs on this topic, some of them are: Disturbed, “Down With the Sickness” (2000), Annihilator "The Perfect Virus"(2001), Demon Hunter, “Infected” (2002), Judas Priest' s „Pestilence and Plague" ; (2007), Cannibal Corpse, “Evisceration Plague” (2009), Accept "Pandemic" (2010), Ne Obliviscaris “And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope” (2012), Cattle Decapitation, “Plagueborne” (2015), etc. Also, I will show the influences of this disease metal poetry in literature and art.
