One rock-loving researcher has revealed what the most 'metal' word in the world is. Check out the top 20 below.
Blogger Degenerate State dug deep into the website Dark Lyrics to sift through 222,623 songs from 7364 rock and metal bands, before cross-referencing his findings with the Brown Corpus - reports TeamRock.
Brown Corpus collects documents published in 1961 and covers a range of different genres. He then studied the frequency of each word from both sources to determine the 'metalness' of them all - before compiling the top 20.
'Burn' came out on top, while 'cries', 'veins', 'eternity', 'breathe', 'ashes', 'demons', 'soul' and 'beast' also ranked highly. So if you want to write the most metal song of all time, just string those words together into lyrics somehow. E.g. 'The beast breathes ashes while demons burn in their veins for eternity'. Deep, right?
These are the top 20 'most metal' words in the world:
1. Burn
2. Cries
3. Veins
4. Eternity
5. Breathe
6. Beast
7. Gonna
8. Demons
9. Ashes
10. Soul
11. Sorrow
12. Sword
13. Goodbye
14. Dreams
15. Gods
16. Pray
17. Reign
18. Tear
19. Flames
20.Scream
Meanwhile, science also recently found that countries with more heavy metal bands tend to be happier.
