Summary/Abstract: This paper firstly attempts to trace the rhetoric of war – that is, the conventionalized poetic language used primarily by writers of poetry – from ancient times to the present. Secondly, a collection of the most important rhetorical strategies, created from the analysis of this mythical imagination and its European legacy, will serve as a starting point for an interpretation of Metallica’s lyrics from their five major albums released between 1983 and 1991, and of the musical means that create the emotional power of this music.
