The killer’s breed or the Demon’s seed The glamor, the fortune, the pain Go to war again, blood is freedom’s stain Don’t you pray for my soul anymore 2 minutes to midnight The hands that threaten doom 2 minutes to midnight To kill the unborn in the womb

I know it's a decently well-known fact nowadays that pretty much every foundational aspect of metal aesthetics was introduced by Rob Halford, whose outfits were explicitly inspired by the leather scene of the gay bars he used to frequent, but still. Sometimes I have to stop and think about how funny it is. Like. This one gay guy got entire generations of straight metalheads to start dressing up like gay sex perverts.

In the 70s - 80s we'd have bands that would write songs with titles like The Penetrator and the lyrics would go "with big bad arms / I plan your defeat / I search your hole / to put my meat" and cishet people went yup this is the height of masculinity it can't get any straighter than this

People we're *shocked* when the guy who wrote this said he was gay
