Prev put it in the tags, but I'm saying it out loud, doom metal 10000000%.

Sleep, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Witch, Witch Mountain, Witchcraft, The Sword, Electric Wizard, Graveyard, Windhand, Faetooth and OF COURSE all the doom, sludge, and stoner bands with weed names lol Bongzilla, Weedeater, Green Lung, Greenleaf, etc

And I know he owns an orange amp.

quick question! what MODERN band/artist do you guys think eddie would 100% love. and you are NOT allowed to say deftones!!!!! for me its saetia, gouge away, AND spiritbox.

[hellyeahskwisgaar]

MTL characters but in totally different metal genres

Hope they make side projects with these

I think Nathan actually doesn't go well with black metal because of his deep death growl vocal and he isn't skinny enough so yeah death metal is best for him but as Dethklok plays MDM/DM music so I had to choose something different.

Pickles, he really fits in stoner genre things cause he's an ACTUAL stoner, smoking bunch of weeds and bongs. Plus its stereotypical outfit looks pretty good on him too. Smoke weed everyday

Skwisgaar should start another side project which plays viking/folk metal but not the kind of Korpiklaani/Equilibrium folk style, more like Moonsorrow or early Ensiferum. Oooor kinda like Falkenbach. Well I kept listening to Bathory albums(viking metal era) when I drew him.

Toki may play power metal for ✶ 🎀 𝓀𝒾𝓉𝓉𝓎 𝒸𝒶𝓉𝓈 🎀 ✶ just like Hevisaurus does to kids, tho he's Norwegian and looks like he's somehow connected with black metal - his appearance on 1x16, having a friend who is a fan of black metal - everyone knows he's the naÏve guy in the band so only power metal can protect his childlike innocence.

Murderface was the hardest one to come up with but I guess 80s thrash metal will be the best. Curly hair(I guess so, no one has trapezoid shaped hair in real life) and his vest which reminds me a battle jacket. Planet Piss is sounding to groove/industrial/nu metal and groove metal was inspired by thrash/heavy metal so it makes sense.

And these are my inspirational songs for this post

I am not including Every genre of metal obviously

"stuck in this fairytale" || choi san || series || thirteenth part

| genre: prince! san. fluff. angst. adventure | mentions: cursing. | here's the first part

back to masterlist | chapter 14

As the fire engulfed you, the present dissolved away. When the light faded, you found yourself standing amidst ancient stone walls, adorned with torches flickering against tapestries depicting dragons and flames. You blinked, questionably on your newfound surroundings. One moment you were with Jongho, using himself to shield you from the flames of the dragon.

And now, you were somewhere else entirely. Although the walls and tapestries seemed eerily familiar, the air was different—thick with the scent of smoke and incense. Faint murmurs of voices reached your ears, mingling with the distant clang of metal and the low hum of tension. Ahead, through a great hall dimly lit by torches, you saw a gathering of courtiers and warriors, all wearing expressions of tense anticipation. Your brows furrowed as curiosity took hold, and you stepped cautiously out of the shadows.

“Silence!”

The booming voice made you jump, scrambling back against the stone wall. Heart pounding, you peeked around the corner. There were people, some clad in torn and mud-streaked garments, others in dented armor. All bore the marks of war—burnt cloth, dirtied faces, desperation in their eyes. This was no Choi palace you recognized. It was something far older, far less grand—a crumbling seat of power held together by fear.

“King Choi! Please, these awful creatures are killing our people!” one man shouted, his plea joined by murmurs of agreement from the gathered crowd.

And there, standing tall and imperious at the center of it all, was the man who answered them. His armor gleamed gold, his long wine-red cape sweeping the floor, and atop his head sat a crown. This man was unmistakably San’s great-grandfather. His features bore a striking resemblance to San's, though hardened with arrogance and a cruel glint in his eyes.

It hit you then—you were witnessing the past, the origin of the curse that haunted the Choi bloodline and the princes who bore its weight.

“Bring it forth!” the great-grandfather commanded, his voice sharp and unyielding.

The crowd parted as soldiers entered, dragging something behind them. Your breath caught when you saw it—a massive dragon, its scales shimmering faintly despite the soot and grime marring its body. Chains wrapped around its limbs and wings, holding it bound, yet it still thrashed and roared, defiant even in its captivity.

Your heart clenched as you saw the pain in the creature’s eyes. It was wounded, its movements sluggish, but its spirit unbroken. It tried to snap at its captors, the fire in its belly threatening to ignite despite its weakened state.

“This,” King Choi proclaimed with a wicked grin, “is the first flying dragon! A gift from the heavens and Goddess themselves, now brought low by my hand. With it, I shall secure my dominion over these lands. None will dare challenge the might of the Choi Kingdom!”

The crowd cheered, but you recoiled in horror. The dragon wasn’t a gift—it was a creature of Brigid’s creation, a being meant to protect, not destroy.

And then he arrived.

A man burst into the hall, his presence commanding silence even before he spoke. He was unarmed but bore the aura of a warrior. His long hair was tied back, his fiery gaze fixed on King Choi. It was Brigid’s lover—the true king of this land.

The king’s presence was commanding, his gaze piercing. He was a force, radiating a calm yet indomitable strength. Yet there was a tenderness to him, a gentleness that seemed to connect him to something beyond the mortal realm. He was no ordinary king; he was a guardian, chosen to rule with Brigid by his side.

In that instant, you understood why King Choi hated him. Power could only be wielded through fear or respect, and the true king had earned the people’s respect effortlessly. King Choi had no such love from his people—only control through fear. San’s great-grandfather looked upon the true king with burning envy, and you could almost feel the dark intent simmering within him.

“You have gone too far, Choi!” he roared, stepping forward. “This creature was born to guard and nurture the balance, not to be a tool for your tyranny. Release it!”

King Choi scoffed. “You dare challenge my rule, dragon tamer? You who hide behind the shadow of gods?”

“I challenge you not as a dragon tamer but as the rightful ruler of this land,” Brigid’s lover declared. “Your greed and false leadership end today!”

The two men clashed with a ferocity that left the hall trembling. You watched, frozen, as the battle raged. The dragon, sensing an ally in Brigid’s lover, thrashed harder against its chains, its roars echoing through the hall.

Then suddenly the scene shifted, you panic as you thought you were being brought back but, you saw a shadowed figure slip through the halls toward a chamber. You were confused once again, your feet glued to the ground but you knew you had to follow what it was since the scene changed and you had to be a blind witness to know the truth. As you rushed towards the chamber, the door was left ajar.

You feel your face losing its color as you come to realize what will happen. It was an ambush. A dagger gleamed in the dim light as the figure struck swiftly, silencing the king before he could even draw breath. You watched in horror as the true king— Jeoyoung, his blood pooling like liquid fire on his sheets. He whispered a name—a name that seemed to ripple across the walls, carried by an unseen wind.

Moments later, Brigid herself appeared, drawn by the call of her beloved. Her fiery hair was like a storm, her expression a mix of anguish and fury as she saw the lifeless body of the man she cherished. Her cries of grief turned to roars that shook the foundations of the palace, her fury resonating through every stone. 

San’s great-grandfather emerged from the shadows, his face twisted into a smug grin. “Your power was wasted on him, Goddess,” he sneered. “This kingdom belongs to the strong, not to those blinded by love.” 

But Brigid was undeterred. Her fiery gaze met his with terrifying resolve. “You, scavenger, have no idea of the powers you’ve unleashed,” she hissed, her voice dripping with wrath. “You seek a kingdom, but you have gained only a curse.”

Raising her arms, Brigid summoned the winds, igniting them with a fire that burned with the brilliance of a thousand suns. Flames crackled and burst around her, yet the King Choi barely flinched, too intoxicated by his perceived victory. But Brigid’s rage was just beginning. 

“You have stolen, deceived, and murdered. For this, you and your bloodline shall pay,” she intoned, her voice echoing like thunder. “From this day forth, every descendant of yours will be hunted by the dragons you so lustfully sought. They shall know neither peace nor prosperity, for they shall be pursued by the very fire that consumed your greed.”

The sky darkened, and through the palace windows, you saw shapes gathering—pseudodragons evolving, growing larger and more fearsome under Brigid’s power, as they circled over the palace in ominous spirals. King Choi watched, his expression shifting from smugness to terror as he realized he could no longer control what he had stolen.

“Goodbye, King Choi.” The place changed into somewhere open but few trees surrounded them. As Brigid cradled Jeoyoung’s trembling body in her arms, the chamber was steeped in an overwhelming silence. Only the faint crackle of distant flames and her quiet, agonized sobs filled the air. Jeoyoung’s once vibrant sapphire eyes were dimming, his chest rising and falling with the shallow breaths of a man at death's door. 

Her hands, glowing faintly with fiery embers, trembled as they hovered over his wounds. She had tried everything—every ounce of her divine power—but no matter how fiercely she willed it, the spark of life in him was slipping away. Her curse, uttered in a rage so potent it shook the very foundation of the Choi Kingdom, still lingered in the air like an unrelenting storm cloud.

"My sapphire love, please..." Jeoyoung’s voice was barely above a whisper, each word soaked in agony yet steady with conviction. Blood trickled from the corner of his lips, staining his once-pristine robes. "Do not punish the generations to come for the sins of one king."

Brigid’s tears streamed freely, sizzling against her fiery cheeks. Her hands cupped his face, her voice breaking as she murmured, “Shh, my love, please don’t speak. Save your strength.”

Jeoyoung’s trembling hand reached for hers, his fingers icy compared to her eternal warmth. He guided her gaze to his. Even as death tightened its grip, his sapphire eyes still held the tenderness of a man deeply in love. "Look at me..." His breath hitched, his voice fragile yet determined.

Brigid sobbed harder, leaning into his touch as though willing her warmth to stave off the inevitable.

"Remove the curse," he pleaded, his thumb brushing faintly across her cheek.

Her entire being shattered at those words. She shook her head, her fiery locks falling over her face. "I can't..." she whispered, her voice broken, her heart fracturing under the weight of her own actions. "What has been done, is done."

Jeoyoung's lips quirked into a faint, bloodied smile. “Of course you can...” His words were strained, but his affection shone through even in his final moments. "Tomorrow will come... and kindness will still live in your heart. The wind will always find its way to the right direction."

The air around them seemed to still, as if the world itself held its breath in mourning. Jeoyoung’s final gaze never wavered, even as his body grew colder. His voice faltered, a mere whisper in the storm of her grief. "The fire within you... will always ignite the passion of love."

And with those words, his hand fell limp. His sapphire eyes dulled, staring into eternity. Brigid’s anguished scream pierced the heavens as her divine essence flared with the intensity of a thousand suns.

The searing light of the past dissolved into the chaotic present. The weight of what you had just witnessed crushed your chest, leaving you breathless. Your vision adjusted as the sounds of the present—roaring flames and distant shouts—came rushing back.

"Jongho!" you gasped, stumbling forward. He lay on the ground, his arm burnt and the remnants of his clothes reduced to charred fabric. His breaths were shallow, and his face contorted in pain.

Panic surged through you as you dropped to his side. The memory of Jeoyoung’s parting words echoed in your mind, a chilling reminder of the curse’s origin. You pressed your trembling hands against Jongho’s uninjured shoulder, the urgency of the moment pulling you from the sorrow of the past.

"Stay with me, Jongho," you whispered, your voice cracking. Tears blurred your vision, but your determination burned brighter. Jongho looks at you, “You saw it?” Your eyebrows furrowed, “W-what?” “The dream … King Jeoyoung. The lover of Brigid." Your eyes widen, with a shaking breath, you spoke, “You—”

Jongho chuckles as he looks at you then to the raging dragon in front of both of you, “Seems like we aren’t stuck in this fairytale.” The moment you first found yourself inside this story, it felt surreal—a tapestry woven with threads of wonder and confusion. At first, it was as though you were an outsider peering into a living narrative. The curse that plagued the Choi lineage was merely a tale, and the role you were thrust into felt distant, as if it belonged to someone else.  

But as the story unfolded, piece by piece, the weight of your role became undeniable. You weren’t just a visitor or a bystander. You were the key. The burden of lifting the curse, unraveling its origins, and shouldering the pain of generations began to press heavily upon you. It wasn’t just about San or the dragons or even Brigid—it was about you.  

The realization struck like lightning the moment you uncovered the truth. Your lineage wasn’t just an ordinary bloodline. The fire coursing through your veins wasn’t a coincidence. Your ancestor was none other than the Goddess of Fire herself, Brigid. The fury that birthed the curse, the anguish that burned through time—it was your legacy.  

And now, bestowed with the power of the true king, Jeoyoung, you understood what needed to be done. His final words echoed in your heart, resonating with a meaning far deeper than you could have anticipated.  

"Tomorrow will come and kindness will still live in your heart. The wind will always find its way to the right direction. The fire within you will always ignite the passion of love."

The key was not some ancient relic or arcane spell. It was the very essence of what had been stripped away from Brigid when her heart broke: Kindness, Hope, the Rightful Path, and, finally, Love. These elements, torn from her soul, needed to be restored. They weren’t just concepts—they were the fragments of Brigid’s heart, left scattered across the ages.  

Now, you were no longer just a participant in this tale. You were *one with the story.* The curse wasn’t merely a mystery to solve—it was a part of your destiny, tied intrinsically to your very being. The path forward was clear, but its weight threatened to crush you.  

As you stood amidst the chaos of the present, the oppressive heat of the dragon’s breath against your skin, the enormity of it all threatened to overwhelm you. Looking up, your eyes met the piercing glare of the dragon. Its gaze was fierce, primal, and filled with an ancient rage that sent shivers down your spine.  

You froze, the intensity of its eyes locking you in place. It was a glare you recognized, one that clawed deep into your soul. It brought you back to that moment with San in the library, the way his eyes had burned with something you couldn’t quite place—something raw, untamed, and undeniably powerful.  

But this was different. This dragon wasn’t just a creature; it was a manifestation of Brigid’s wrath, her heartbreak given form. Its very existence was a reminder of the curse that had plagued the Choi line for generations.  

Your heart raced as memories flooded back—Jeoyoung’s bloodied smile, Brigid’s anguished sobs, and the haunting words of the curse. You had witnessed it all. You weren’t just here to observe; you were here to change the ending.  

Clenching your fists, you forced yourself to stand firm under the dragon’s gaze. The weight of the curse bore down on you, but within you burned the fire of your ancestor. You were Brigid’s blood, a spark of her divine flame, and now you carried the power of the true king.  

“The elements…” you whispered to yourself, the realization settling over you like a rising dawn. Kindness, Hope, the Rightful Path, and Love. These weren’t just words—they were the very essence of what Brigid had lost and what you needed to restore.  

Summoning every ounce of courage, you took a step forward, meeting the dragon’s fiery glare head-on. “I understand now,” you said, your voice trembling but resolute. “This isn’t just about breaking a curse. It’s about healing what’s been broken. It’s about restoring balance to the fire, the wind, the very essence of this kingdom.”  

The dragon’s roar echoed in response, shaking the ground beneath your feet. But this time, you didn’t flinch. You were no longer just a character in this story. You were its heart, its fire, and its hope.

[birdofmay]

do have metal recommendations? I'm new to it. really completely new

*typing up a storm* You just activated the autism in me! 😄

Alright, here's a brief overview. Followers, feel free to recommend songs in the comments, if you listen to metal.

What bands you should know, at least their names:

Black Sabbath, Sepultura, Kiss, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Pantera, Anthrax, Helloween.

No need to know and like their songs, just know that they exist. There are some more, but you'll encounter them eventually anyway, I'm sure. Note that certain old bands are controversial now, for example Pantera and Metallica.

Some recommendations:

Heavy Metal:

The "How it began" part. Just check out Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath. You should know

Thrash Metal:

The earlier albums of Metallica, Testament, Exodus, and of course Slayer. "Raining Blood"

is well known, and I connect "Bloodline"

with long road trips as a child.

Doom Metal:

Some Black Sabbath is also considered doom metal. Apart from that I recommend Pentagram and Witchfinder General.

Black Metal:

Not mine, personally, except for certain derivatives, but they'll come later. I like very few black metal songs. They are:

Death Metal:

Many subgenres, I personally prefer Melodic Death Metal. Cannibal Corpse is well-known and also Obituary. Check out Debauchery, some In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, and Arch Enemy too. Recommendation:

But to be honest, most Children of Bodom songs sound alike 😂

Dark Metal/Gothic Metal:

Hard to sort the whole discography of one band into this subgenre. Some Cradle of Filth, some Sirenia, some Samsas Traum, Type O Negative. I also like

Power Metal:

Sabaton, Powerwolf, Manowar (not everything), HammerFall, Grave Digger (not everything), Sonata Arctica, some Blind Guardian. Power Metal often has characteristics of Symphonic Metal in some songs, so it's hard to put one band in one strict category.

Symphonic Metal:

Nightwish, Xandria, Within Temptation, Epica. Too many favourites to recommend a specific song.

Progressive Metal:

Dream Theater, Opeth, Tool, Symphony X. Specific song:

Folk Metal:

Some Ensiferum, Eluveitie, Týr, Finntroll, Svartsot, Korpiklaani. Also The HU for Mongolian representation 😎 Folk Metal is huge, I just focus on "northern" stuff because I'm "northern" too. Song recommendation:

Viking Metal:

This is actually a "Whatever, as long as it's about Norse stuff and the Viking age" genre. This is why many death metal, folk metal, and power metal bands ALSO are considered viking metal.

Amon Amarth are very well-known, I'd recommend

Pagan Metal:

Also a "Whatever, as long" category. Most folk metal bands are simultaneously pagan metal. Moonsorrow are more black metal but also pagan metal, which is why I'll briefly mention them here.

There also are Varg, but if I'm not mistaken they had some right wing stuff going on, so be careful there. I'm not sure what happened, but I think some of the band members openly supported a neonazi group. Could be that the members were kicked out after that, but even if everything is alright now, they still have a negative connotation.

Somewhere in between all this, there's Alestorm. They're also considered pirate metal, btw. But I'm not actively into that, which is why I put them somewhere in-between.

Industrial Metal:

This is your outsider, and I think every band considered "Industrial Metal" is at the same time considered 5 genres more. Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails, Eisbrecher (some would say it's Gothic), Ministry.

Nu Metal:

Some people would say "Nu Metal isn't metal!!!", but I like it anyway. Check out Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Disturbed. "Duality" by Slipknot is the song of a common meme ("I push my fingers into my eyes") 😄

Also Machine Head, but it's hard to categorise them. I just checked, Wikipedia says they're sometimes considered "neo-thrash". Well I guess they're a bit of everything, but their newer albums definitely have nu metal character.

Metalcore:

If you say you're a metalhead but only listen to metalcore, metalheads will hate you for this. Just so you know. ☝🏼 It's a valid genre, but you're on thin ice if you don't listen to other metal genres. There are many overlapping genres here, which is why, again, it's difficult to label bands.

Parkway Drive (some would scream that they're post hardcore), Silverstein (some would scream that they're hardcore punk, others that they're emo), As I Lay Dying, Killswitch Engage, Bullet For My Valentine (some would scream that they're emo, others would say they're heavy metal), Bring Me The Horizon depending on the song, August Burns Red.

Lamb of God are considered metalcore too, but in my opinion they're more metal than metalcore. Anyway I'll mention them here for the sake of classification.

Yeah, that's about it, I guess. This post is already very long, so I guess I better stop at this point. I hope from here on you'll manage to navigate through the big metal genre yourself 😄

P.S.: I forgot Trivium! "Feast Of Fire" is currently stuck in my head

[this-is-krikkit]

🤘 SNK characters & their fave metal subgenre 🎶

as requested by the lovely Val @youre-ackermine

Mikasa: black metal. she knows every single word of every single most satanic-ritual-like song out there, that she sings with the straightest, bitchiest of resting faces. an Icon (a scary one) ex: 𝕮𝖗𝖆𝖉𝖑𝖊 𝖔𝖋 𝕱𝖎𝖑𝖙𝖍

Armin: i'm sorry, but i'm not sorry, he's a metalcore babe. LISTEN. he's a freak, ok? he just hides it well, that's all. ex: LANDMVRKS

Eren: power/heavy metal. that boy is angry and LOUD about it, and has never met an epic musical call to violence he didn't love! ex: 𝔩𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔟𝔦𝔱𝔢𝔰

Erwin: symphonic/melodic metal, sweetheart got a Classical Music Education he can't quite shake. (there are better examples for this style out there but i love these guys so i put them here!) ex: DARK TRANQUILITY

Hange: folk metal 100%!! metal from all over the world with unusual instruments and techniques for the genre, either from their own culture or others, they're just really hungry for any band that thinks outside the classic "four/five white guys in a garage" box! ex: 𝖚𝖚𝖍𝖆𝖎

Levi: proper thrash metal fan, i feel like he'd love the switch between powerful riffs/quieter rhythms with full on singing and guitar solos. might seem basic, but he knows all of the classics down to the pieces only hardcore fans have ever listened to, and even if he's open to newer stuff, nothing hits like old fashioned metal for him. ex: METALLICA

Bertholdt: rap metal, because he's a whole other kind of freak, isn't he?? don't you dare undermine "non-pure" metal subgenres in his presence because he will lose his usually collected shit. ex: 𝕭𝖔𝖉𝖞 𝕮𝖔𝖚𝖓𝖙

Reiner: alternative metal, kind of mainstream except he's truly feeling those angsty lyrics deep inside. just. let him book a therapist appointment pls?? ex: AVENGED SEVENFOLD

Annie: whatever the fuck babymetal does, that unexpected crossover between j-pop and heavy metal but she's kind of closeted about it because yk, it doesn't say Tough Girl (hopefully there are better examples of that style out there that i don't know about bc the concept is fascinating but bm live aren't... great) ex: 🪽BABYMETAL🪽

Sasha: stoner metal ftw!! she's all about those Vibes where the crowd is usually swaying more than fighting (she doesn't like pogo), plus the melodies remind her of the old rock she listened to with her dad! ex: BLACK RAINBOWS

Connie: punk rock/metal, which looks and sounds nothing more than stupid and noisy to others, but that's how our boy fights the system at his level and congratulations to him for that. he's the proper example of "chaotic good" imo and so is that subgenre <3 ex: Ｎｏｖａ ｔｗｉＮｓ

Jean: prog/nu metal and really anything that connects to "lighter" types of music. he's t e r r i f i e d of the kind Mikasa listens to, but he's trying his best to understand. probably also a swiftie deep inside (not even that deep..) ex: 𝙺𝙰𝚁𝙽𝙸𝚅𝙾𝙾𝙻

Posting about my metal subgenre guys under the read more because I feel bad for posting art of them with basically no context (yay)

So, I’d like to think that most music genres have some sort of soul, just based on humans and their connection and love for music. My characters are basically a physical manifestation of that; corporeal representations of the music genre they represent. They’ll exist as long as people out there actually give a shit about the music, and considering how passionate metalheads are about their music, they won’t go away any time soon.

Since they aren't human, they don't need to do stuff like eat or sleep, but they can choose to do so.

The horns and tails that the extreme metal subgenres have are just for show and are only there to make them more distinctive in design. They aren’t demons or anything. I just like goat horns.

“How do they integrate into human society?” It’s not like they’re out of their element or anything. They behave like the fans of their music do. The only thing that would really impact that is their eclectic fashion sense/extra body parts, but I think it’d be funny if humans didn’t care about that sorta thing after a while, so it’s just not a huge issue in-universe.

"So what subgenres have you personified? What are their names?" Everyone tends to classify metal subgenres differently and there's so many depending on who you ask, so I'm only using 12 of them. Sorry if your favorite subgenre isn't on here! I just want my life to be easy.

Heavy Metal (basically whatever you think of when you think about English heavy metal bands from the 70s-early 80s.): Graham

Hair Metal: Roxanne

Doom Metal: Björn

Thrash Metal: Rocky

Death Metal: Cris

Black Metal: Orcus (Sven)

Power Metal: Hannes

Folk Metal: Vesa

Prog Metal: Jean

Symphonic Metal: Annette

Industrial Metal: Johann

Nu metal: Wes

"What are their ages?" I guess they're the same age as the subgenre they represent. Mentally and physically, though, they're like...20 somethings. Their ages don't really matter, but if you're worried about that kind of stuff they're all adults, so it's whatever.

I don't have any huge thing planned for them at the moment. They're just silly guys that I like to draw. I do plan on going back and tagging all the art featuring them as "posers" since that's what I call their universe. I'll probably go back and tag each character too if I'm not lazy.

Thanks for reading!

Iced Earth - I Died For You

[splatoonpolls]

So I’ve been thinking about different metal genres as Pokémon types. Some are easier than others

kawaii - fairy type

Thrash/speed - electric type

Nu - poison

Pirate - water

Folk - grass

Viking - ice

Power - dragon

Industrial - metal

Doom - ghost

gothic - dark (I think doom metal and gothic metal can swap if they want to)

Prog - psychic

Heavy - rock

I just don’t know where to place death metal, grindcore, black netal, glam metal, and death core. And what genres matches ground, fire, flying, bug or normal

[gingervitis69420]

I left off some genres that felt either too early, too late, or too geographically specific.

Diasomnia Character Songs and Associations

It's finally here! The end of the character songs and associations series! It took a bit longer to get out than I thought it would, but it's now finished.

Here is the seventh dorm, Diasomnia; the dorm of the spirit of nobility. The final of the seven, but also, interestingly, the dorm that started this entire idea.

Notes: Every song is from my liked songs playlist (so feel free to judge me for my taste, haha!) and I only allowed myself to use an artist once for this project. There is also some strong language and mature themes in some of the songs, so be aware if you choose to listen to them. I’ve included: - A song that represents them, - A song they'd listen to, and (for some) an additional song, depending on the character and circumstance

The full Spotify playlist for ALL songs and characters is linked at the end of the post.

Malleus Draconia

Represented by: Nymphs Finding the Head of Orpheus - Nicole Dollanganger

This song was actually what inspired me to make this series. It just reminds me so much of Malleus. The narrative setting is similar to the ruins he loves to explore, the music itself is somewhat ethereal, and the lyrics reflect the loneliness Malleus often feels, as well as his fear of loss and change.  It's powerful, it's reflective, it's strange, and it's beautiful. Much like Malleus himself.

Listens to: Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, K. 550: IV: Allegro assai - W.A. Mozart, Sinfonia Varsovia, Yehudi Menuhin

Malleus likely listens to primarily classical music, and probably knows how to play many of the pieces he listens to. He would especially enjoy the playfulness of Mozart's compositions, as most Mozart pieces (operas, symphonies, etc.) have a light mood, and are usually filled with jokes. Absolutely perfect for a fae prince!

Lilia Vanrouge

Represented by: Phantasmagoria - Polkadot Cadaver

This song feels very Lilia to me. With a focus on (possibly?) playful scaring, and the uncertain or hidden origins of what people see. There's spooks and startles, but is generally meant to be fun... or that's what's assumed. The Avant-Garde metal genre also suits the unique, fun intensity of Lilia's character.

Listens to: After Life in Purgatory - Lock Up

Okay, I know that 'Lock Up' is grindcore, and not the thrash metal that Lilia canonically listens to. BUT he would totally also listen to music like this. It's fast. It's loud. It's full of screaming. Lilia would love it! (And he'd probably somewhat relate to the lyrics of this song too, considering his past...)

Bonus - Suggests for Music Club: Renewal - Veil

Lilia would suggest something like Veil to play in Music Club, arguing that it's more "gentle" and "approachable" for non-metal fans than some other subgenres, which, yes, that may be the case, but still... Cater would be a bit freaked out.

Silver

Represented by: イジメ、ダメ、ゼッタイ - Babymetal

Silver is an interesting character, being both gentle and fierce simultaneously, which is well-encapsulated in Babymetal's music. The lyrics to this song also are akin to Silver's worldview, and his wish for balance, harmony, and connection.

Listens to: Over the Edge - Sarah Jarosz

I think Silver would listen to softer music, probably a lot of folk, bluegrass, and country music. and, like Jade, he would especially love songs about nature and the outdoors. It just seems like it would suit him!  However, I also think he shares a lot of his father's taste in music, resulting in some very strange playlists...

Sebek

Represented by: Soap - The Oh Hellos

Sebek seems to struggle a lot with his mixed identity, outright rejecting half of his heritage. (I think that's something he will learn to accept at some point in the future, and be able to become even stronger in himself and his identity as a result.) However, Sebek is also a bold, determined individual, and truly cares deeply for those he loves and respects... even if he may not outwardly show it.

Listens to: String Quartet No. 6 in F Minor, Op. 80, MWV R37: II: Allegro assai - Felix Mendelssohn, Quatuor Ébène

Because I think Malleus favours classical string music, I also think that Sebek would believe that he should also listen to similar music (as it is obviously superior!) And while he does enjoy many classical pieces, especially Mendelssohn's compositions, it would probably not be Sebek's preferred music in most situations, even if he does listen to it often.

Bonus - Prefers to listen to: Oscar Wilde Gets Out - Elton John

I'm not totally sure why, but I think Sebek would really like music by Elton John! I think that the softer pop rock sound would be something he would enjoy. Oscar Wilde Gets Out would definitely appeal to Sebek, for the literary allusions and references if nothing else.

Random theory:

All metal genre topics can be traced back to Black Sabbath songs from the first four albums.

For example:

Black Sabbath: horror/religious (NWOBHM, death metal, black metal, grindcore, deathcore)

War Pigs: politics (thrash, NWOBHM, death, prog)

The Wizard: fantasy/literature (power metal, NWOBHM, prog)

Iron Man: sci-fi/philosophy (prog, power, thrash)

Paranoid: mental health (thrash, metalcore, prog, deathcore, doom metal)

Sweet Leaf: drugs (stoner metal, glam metal, thrash)

INFO:

The audacity of some people to say that metal is limited and is the "same thing" when it's not. It has more subgenres than any other music genre lmao. Do your research.

More research (into bands and albums).
