TL;DR

• Running Wild (2949 unique words) has the biggest vocabulary, followed by Helloween (2641) and Elvenking (2505)
• Bands from Spain, Germany and Finland have an average of more than 1600 words vocabulary; in comparison native countries like UK, US and Scotland have an average of 925, 1383 and 1501 words respectively
• The most metal words are deliverance, defender, honour, forevermore, realm and the least are shit, baby, fuck, girl, verse.
• The most negative song is Condemned To Hell by Gamma Ray and the most positive There’s Something In The Skies by Dark Moor

Alestorm
Words: drink, sail, sea, pirate, quest
For a band which is part of the pirate metal genre, these words are the perfect representation of pirate-related vocabulary.

Manowar
Words: die, ride, metal, live, fight
My knowledge of Manowar is a bit lacking but this iconic band seems to give importance to equally iconic words.

Rhapsody
Words: holy, ancient, king, wind, land
One of my favorite bands. Their lyrics are epic and the most important words for them represent that.

Sabaton
Words: war, death, army, strike, way
Sabaton writes a lot about real wars and this is reflected in their top words.

but interesting data analysis

Very true but I don't think they should drop the dragons

Powermetal without Dragons is like non-alcoholic beer

Power Metal without dragons is like a ship on dry land. I think.
