I've already ran archive searches with the keywords "supernatural" and "paranormal" as lyrical subjects- I checked quite a few of them out and didn't find anything good. I'm asking for a few good songs with lyrics about the paranormal. Thanks in advance.

This one is obvious; try Hypocrisy for a start. And more of a long shot, but you may also like Oxiplegatz.

Voivod and Mercyful Fate/King Diamond, depending on your notions of supernatural/paranormal.

Carach Angren's albums are based on true hauntings (supposedly).

Check out some Angel Witch. A song called "She Don't Lie" from the Frontal Assault album.More of an obscure song from them, but I think the lyrics are along the lines of what you are looking for.

Totally different style of Metal(old style Death Metal),but I find the lyrics to Diabolic's song"Failed Extraction" interesting. The song is from their Subterraneal Magnitude album.

I think a huge majority of metal bands deal with these things at least in some manner. Religious and fictional myths can definitely go under that. I think you need to be more specific in what you're looking for.

Also, these types of requests should go in the recommendation section.

not sure if this is the kind of thing you're looking for, but Ceremonial Castings very often use themes/motifs of witches....

Deceased is the band you're looking for. Start with "Supernatural addiction".

Fuck yes.

Also, Black Sabbath's self-titled song.

King Diamond's albums are mostly concept albums about the supernatural, but if you don't know about him, you've been living in a hole.

Just in case though, get Abigail and Them.
