Advice?

So I love these two albums instumentally, and I'm fine with gory lyrics, but I can't stand the songs with sexually violent or necrophilia based lyrics, ("born in a casket" from eaten back to the life, every other song is fine lyrically and then "gutted", "under the rotted flesh" and "butchered at birth" from butchered at birth) they make my skin crawl but I love said songs instrumentally, does anyone know if there's a way to bypass this discomfort and enjoy the music whilst still acknowledging the disgusting nature of the lyrics? Am I a bad person for wanting to be able to enjoy songs about such awful topics?

UPDATE: So I think I'm just gonna try again without putting much thought into it, to all who tried to give advice thank you and to all the elitist fuckwads telling me to "grow some nuts" (for being apprehensive about FUCKING RAPE) without considering maybe my personal life had events that made me more uncomfortable with it: great way to be welcoming someone new to the metal community, and u/dehntistree save some clown makeup for all your gatekeeping douchebag friends!

Stoners have their own metal genre, what about us alcoholics?

Sure we already have slam, which is as stupid as the average drunk, but where’s the genre specifically for us?

New record pick up today, one of my favorites!

Been looking around the shops for this one and today I finally found it! Sure I could have just ordered it online but there's just something more fun to me about actually finding them out in the wild. I think Stargazer alone is worth it to be honest but there's other bangers on it too like Tarot Woman and Light in the Black. Maybe a bit tame now compared to some of the other harder stuff that gets shared but to me this album is an all-time classic.

İ need more albums like this one.

Dual vocal attacks, highly technical, groovy, delicious riffs, god like drums... Man this is perfection. Any albums similar to this will be highly appreciated.

WFO, Overkill (1994)

One of my favorite eras in metal were the early 90’s. New bands like Pantera and Type-O broke through. We had the Black Album, and Overkill dropped this gem. Unique production and some real bangers. My favorite tracks are Under One and Where It Hurts. And for those of us who had the CD: gotta love the hidden track jam session on a few Sabbath tunes.

Brymir - What We Leave Behind (2026)

A new album from this rather small but rising finnish melodic/symphonic death metal group, Brymir has slowly getting big by each released album with their anthemic grand songs and the newest album, "What We Leave Behind", puts band to new heights. Opening track, "Sleipnir", is a galloping cinematic track that immediately nails the albums tone and style, title-track, "What We Leave Behind", adds a slight electronic synth sound to it, giving it an epic scifi movie vibe.

"The Roaring King" slows down and offers more mid-tempo, headbanging epic track which as grandious as other tracks.

And as a suprise, a cover song "How Much Is The Fish" from Scooter is delightfully fun to listen.

Brymir has once again greated an album that aims for new heights and doesn't slow down and keeps delivering epic and melodic songs which you can't stop listening.

New record buys. Last album was completely random based on the album cover

New vinyl pull today. The last one is a band I’ve never heard of. Just like the old days when trying to discover new bands, I thought the album cover was kinda sick and figured I’d check it out.
