Abstract

Metal music is a quite popular subculture in Slovakia. Although
heavy metal music simply noise for some, it is not so shallow and there are
deeper meanings. There have been many metal bands that have addressed
social concerns, as well as ethical and philosophical questions. Metal music
uses various metaphors and other tropes to express philosophical ideas;
not only in lyrics, but also in its use of melody. The focus here will be on
several influential contemporary metal bands from Central Slovakia, and
the philosophical and ethical aspects of their metal poetry.

Keywords
