“Fleeing. Fleeing fastly”
I don’t think I’ve ever heard the word “careful” used this forcefully in a song before. Repeatedly. Here’s Tankard: generally renowned for songs about drinking beer and being a thrash metal ne’er-do-well. But on Mercenary (taken from 1986’s Zombie Attack) the Germans take on the subject of soldiers for hire in their endearing “English as a second language” way. It’s just great fun: a punky, speed metal mosh. And the chorus gang shout of “Mercenary! Be careful! Mercenary! Careful! Carefully, carefully! The mercenary, the mercenary” is unforgettably demented. You might enjoy it a little too much so… careful!
I think the word ‘carefully’ is very underused in metal as a whole. Odd that.

Could this be the NWOHSM that I’ve been craving – new wave of health and safety metal?

I have the line “it’s health and safety gone mad!” all prepared if any of the bands want me to do their PR.

It wouldn’t be right without it. How about the debut album title? I suggest ‘Heavy Lifting’
