Metallica's early lyrics weren't exactly Shakespearian.
But to your point, I recall as a kid when you finally adopted Slayer (and then Venom, Mercyful Fate, Celtic Frost, Posessed, etc.), you were regarded as part of some Satanic cult. And that, even then as a teenager, was so damn silly. But we did it anyway, to annoy the Def Leppard/Poison crowd.
The SOD album (Stormtroopers of Death, for the 3 you that might be interested) changed everything in that brief minute in NYC with the metal crowd. We then went punk/hardcore.
