What are some metal bands with sci-fi based lyrics? I already know about Scanner and Voivod, who are some other bands in that vein?

On their album Universe, DBC took something of a sci-fi slant.

Seikima II, the Japanese metal band, made this song called Stainless Night. Here is a direct translation with the Japanese alongside the English:

時は秘かにテクノポリスをただ走り去った
忘れかけてた夢に気づいた まだときめく
いつか見た青い空は 行き先さえも告げずに oh
secretly time had escaped from this technopolis
in my forgotten dreams i noticed, its still throbbing
the blue sky i saw couldn’t tell me where i had to go oh

Stainless night 魂を奪われた アンドロイドたちが
Stainless night 悲しみさえ手さぐりで拾い集める夜
—————–
Stainless night the androids who took away my soul
Stainless night the night my hands seek to gather the sadness

くずれかけてた胸の破片も あぁ掃き散らして
街はわずかに錆びることもなく ただきらめく
星さえも摩天楼を科学者気どりで着飾る oh
even the pieces of my crumbling heart are scattered and swept away
the streets are not even a little rusty, they only glitter
the stars adorn the skyscrapers with the scientists affection oh

Stainless night 魂を失ったアンドロイドたちが Cry out!
—————
Stainless night you androids who have lost your souls Cry out!

デジタルの森の中は時計じかけのリズムで oh
to the rhythm of the clock in this digital forest oh

Stainless night 魂を奪われた アンドロイドたちが
Stainless night 悲しみさえ手さぐりで拾い集める夜
Stainless night 魂を失ったアンドロイドたちが Cry out!
———–
Stainless night the androids who took away my soul
Stainless night the night my hands seek to gather the sadness
Stainless night you androids who have lost your souls Cry out



Here's the video:


Interesting to note that a popular Japanese anime voice actor did his own cover of this song.

Beat me to it. Best suggestion that I know of, really.

Of course, there's Iced Earth's Something Wicked storyline.

Isn't Lord Liege's Master Control a sci-fi themed album? I'm not terribly familiar with the lyrics. All I know is that it's a kickass record.

Oh and Voivod.

Seikima-II RULES!

I would throw in Agent Steel and Warrior. They always seemed a little spacey to me.

Iron Savior's whole discography has been a long series of sci-fi concept albums.

Ah, you beat me to it, Fredo. Also, fellow German metallers Primal Fear have the "Black Sun" album that has a space ship theme.

Iron Maiden gets into Sci-Fi themes a lot.

Also, Bal Sagoth.
