Great read. Despite being into death metal for ages, I've never really paid attention to the lyrics. I tend to be overwhelmed by the intensity of the music itself, in a good way.
I did look up the lyrics to Necrophagist many years ago, and they seemed to be really goofy. There's only so many words about mutilated stillborn babies that I want to hear. Perhaps there's also a fair amount of tongue-in-cheek involved, writing these lyrics. Anyway, amazing band.
I saw them live once, in a small standing room only venue. The musicianship on display was insane. Watching Muhammed belt out those vocals while playing extremely technical guitar parts was unforgettable.
