And finally, the lyrics to this week’s outro, you will probably need them.

There’s Power metal, Cello metal, Gothic and Symphonic Metal
Metal that’s Experimental, even Medieval metal
Pagan, Folk and Celtic metal, Funk and Troll and Viking metal
Rap and Crust and Thrash and Speed and Groove and Glam and Stoner Metal

There’s metal that’s Progressive, Post or even Neoclassical
There’s some that’s new (but spelt N U) and sounds quite like Industrial
There’s Versions of Death metal both Melodical and Technical
And even Christian metal that is really quite respectable

There’s Doom metal that’s Gloomy Sludgey Droney or Funerial
There’ Grindcore, Gore- and and Pornogrind with lyrics quite venerial
There’s Metalcore, Nintendocore and Mathcore for the metal nerds
Or Deathcore, Deathgrind, Blackened Death or Death’n'roll if death’s preferred

There’s many types of metal from Extreme to more Traditional
It’s a frankly f**king foolish task to try and learn to list them all
