The Black Cover
My Metal is a Heavy Metal Parody of My Immortal written by Monica Gilbey Bieber. It stars a Marty Stu named Rainblood Öystein Cross Vülture White, and instead of the goffik sorrow of My Immortal, My Metal often references gore, heavy metal music, and tr00 kvlt awesomeness.

You may rock the fuck out to this fanfic here or here.

Compare and contrast My Immortal and Thirty Hs. Contrast One Less Lonely Gurl, another fanfic by the same author.


Tropes! AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YEAH!

  • Chekhov's Gunman: Beatrice, the Couture Kvlt saleswoman who also turns out to be a Time Lord, who helps Rainblood know who he is and who brought about his existence.
  • Chivalrous Pervert: Rainblood. He shamelessly ogles beautiful metalhead women, but when he finds out that Cho Chang has been taken advantage of, he does anything and everything to save her.
  • Cosmic Plaything: All the characters. This is Lampshaded in the last chapter.
  • Creator Cameo: The author himself appears in Chapter 39 of the story.
  • Darker and Edgier: My Metal is definitely heavier in content and more explicit than the original.
  • Gorn: This line.
    Lupin watched in shock. He started to scream in excruciating pain as blood spilled out of every orifice of his body. Hideous, festering lesions and popping boils filled with yellow, infected pus that oozed black slime appeared on his skin. He started to look like a victim of the bubonic plague.
  • Scenery Porn: The settings are described quite vividly in-story.
  • Self-Deprecation: The author actually refers to himself as a poser in-story.
  • Spiritual Successor: Subverted.
  • Stripperiffic: Most of the outfits worn by the characters are this.
  • Teen Genius: Rainblood, who memorized all the prime factors of 666 and every execution method known to man. He is also lead guitarist of the Death Metal band Böats of Mithridates.
  • Theme Naming: Almost all the characters are named after execution methods.
  • Tome of Eldritch Lore: The Unholy Tome of Unholiness, which is often referenced in the author's notes. It does become an actual plot device later on.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Black coffee and raw steak for Rainblood.
  • Waxing Lyrical: 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 ...In That Order after Ignacïo must have stabbed me fifty fucking times! Good thing I barely survived and escaped that necropedophile before he attempted to rip my heart out right before my eyes and completely butcher me until I end up looking like a model for a Cannibal Corpse album cover!
    • Hilariously, Avenged Sevenfold is considered a poser (My Metal's equivalent of a prep) band in this fanfic.
    • Also, Rainblood/Chäntal mentions that 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.
  • Whole-Plot Reference: Lampshaded by the Unholy Tome of Unholiness, and is actually a plot device of My Metal itself.
