History Music / LichKing

* {{Homage}}: "{{Axe Cop}}". [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLKFV8U8Z_Y And with gusto.]]

* OneOfUs: Tom Martin has written songs about ''Film/{{Robocop}}'', ''ASongOfIceAndFire'', ''Franchise/{{Predator}}'', and ''AxeCop'', and Joe Nickerson wears a ''{{Thundercats}}'' T-shirt in the ''World Gone Dead'' band photo.

* CoverVersion: "Another Lesson in Violence" by Exodus, "[[{{Vio-Lence}} Bodies on Bodies]]", [[Music/{{Slayer}} "Aggressive Perfector"]], [[Music/{{Agent_Steel}} "Agents of Steel"]]

* MohsScaleofRockAndMetalHardness: Generally an 8, like most Thrash. Can go as low as 7 (Agnosticism, Grindwheel), or as high as 9 (Toxic Zombie Onslaught).

* TakeThatAudience: "Fan Massacre", a song about how much the band hates their fans and how they will kill them, in typical sarcastic fashion. To wit:

* ThisLoserIsYou: Waste and "Act of War.
* WorkingClassHero: Inverted with "Wage Slave"; in that everyone is only spending money, in debt, and unable to do a thing.

* {{Mascot}}: The Lich King, featured prominently on the band's album covers.

* TakeThat: "Black Metal Sucks"

* ThisLoserIsYou: "Waste" and "Act of War"

** "All Hail" from ''Born Of the Bomb'' as well.

* ReligionRantSong: Type 2, surprisingly subverted as it makes no distinction as to whether science/religion is wrong, just that the end result is the same.

* HeavyMetal: '''And how!'''

->Hey, Gama Bomb\\

->...The Waste was a starter,\\

* CoverVersion: "Another Lesson in Violence" by Exodus, "[[{{Vio-Lence}} Bodies on Bodies]]", and [[Music/{{Slayer}} "Aggressive Perfector"]]

* EpicRiff: "Attack of the Wrath of the War of the Death of the Strike of the Sword of the Blood of the Beast", "Act of War", "ED-209", "Lich King III"

* HeavyMeta: '''And how!'''

* LoveItOrHateIt: You will either like Lich King or you will...not like Lich King. Let's leave it at that.

* TheGadfly: Tom Martin, and he's really good at it too.

* OneOfUs: Tom Martin has written songs about ''Film/{{Robocop}}'', ''ASongOfIceAndFire'', and ''Franchise/{{Predator}}'', and Joe Nickerson wears a ''{{Thundercats}}'' T-shirt in the ''World Gone Dead'' band photo.

* DidNotDoTheResearch: Some have claimed that Lich King got its name from ''WorldOfWarcraft: The Wrath of the Lich King'' , but Lich King formed before that expansion was released.
** The Lich King appeared in ''WarCraft III Reign of Chaos''. The game was released in 2002. Still unlikely though.

* ThisIsSparta: From "Waste":
-->HUMAN HISTORY DIDN'T NEED YOU! YOU AREN'T WANTED! AND! ARE! '''DISMIIIIIIIIIIIIISSED!'''

* OneOfUs: Tom Martin has written songs about ''{{Robocop}}'', ''ASongOfIceAndFire'', and ''{{Predator}}'', and Joe Nickerson wears a ''{{Thundercats}}'' T-shirt in the ''World Gone Dead'' band photo.

* 2008 - ''Toxic Zombie Onslaught'' - "[[LongTitle Attack of the Wrath]] [[OverlyLongGag of the War of the Death of the Strike of the Sword]] [[BeyondTheImpossible of the Blood of the Beast]]", "Black Metal Sucks"

Lich King is a ThrashMetal band from Massachusetts that was founded in 2004 by vocalist Tom Martin (who may have also played some or all of the instruments for the first two albums; the real identities of the musicians on those albums are not given). Lich King are heavily influenced by {{Exodus}}, Vio-Lence, and Music/{{Slayer}} and are known for their humorous lyrics, HeavyMeta, and their very brash image and promotional techniques. The band finally found its feet in 2009-2010 with its third LP ''World Gone Dead'', which featured a full band lineup and massively improved production.
