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.
