''My Metal'' is a HeavyMetal {{Parody}} of ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' written by Creator/MonicaGilbeyBieber. It stars a Marty Stu named [[{{Music/Slayer}} Rainblood]] [[{{Music/Mayhem}} Öystein]] Cross [[HeavyMetalUmlaut Vülture]] [[Music/TheAgonist White]], and instead of the goffik sorrow of ''My Immortal'', ''My Metal'' often references gore, heavy metal music, and tr00 kvlt awesomeness.

!!Tropes! AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YEAH!
%%* ActorAllusion: [[Creator/RobertPattinson This]] is the [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga reason]] why James chose Cho Chang to play the role of Draco in the remake.
* AuthorAppeal: The author himself is a MetalHead. He also admits to having a fetish for female {{Metalhead}}s.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Black coffee and raw steak for Rainblood.
* WaxingLyrical: This quote from Gibbet (Willow), as an added explanation of how he could show up one chapter after Ignacïo confesses to Rainblood that he killed Gibbet. This is in reference to the scene in ''My Immortal'' where Willow is brought back to life without explanation.
--> I dunno what's gotten into Ignacïo, but he sent me to get tortured, killed, tortured again, and fucked by Snape InThatOrder after Ignacïo [[Music/AvengedSevenfold must have stabbed me fifty fucking times!]] Good thing I barely survived and escaped that necropedophile before he attempted to [[Music/AvengedSevenfold rip my heart out right before my eyes]] and completely butcher me until I end up looking like a model for a Music/CannibalCorpse album cover!
** Hilariously, Music/AvengedSevenfold is considered a poser (''My Metal'''s equivalent of a prep) band in this fanfic.
** Also, Rainblood/Chäntal mentions that [[Music/FallingInReverse they're not a vampire, but they feel like one]] when Tom asks them how they drank all the blood of a lady in the movie theater. Just like Avenged Sevenfold, Falling in Reverse is also, hilariously, a poser band in this fanfic.
* WholePlotReference: Lampshaded by the [[spoiler:Unholy Tome of Unholiness, and is actually a plot device of ''My Metal'' itself.]]
