1. The first is a flowchart useful for determining what genre of metal you are listening to. Spend some time on the "Discussion" page for the heavy metal genre entry on Wikipedia and you'll find that this chart is both under- and over-inclusive, and a more expansive version, done properly, could be even more hilarious, but "Are the lyrics about dragons?" still makes me chuckle after about a week.
(a/s to my buddy Chris for passing that along.)
2. I came across the second one on a wonderful site called Chart Porn, which is a great resource for fun stuff like this: a widget that evaluates and compares the "evilness" of Slayer albums based on the frequency of terms like "kill" and "Satan". 1985's "Hell Awaits" turns out to be the most sinister album, at 27% evil. And the most evil song? "Blood Red" off of Seasons in the Abyss, which contains one of the seven "evil" words in a whopping 54% of the song's lines.
Lyrics here. Relatively-tame-by-Slayer's-standards thrash metal in the video below.
