This paper attempts to bring the metaphysical insight of Deleuzo-Guattarian philosophy into the process by which new subgenres of metal music are created. This is done by analyzing the concept of double articulation as a stratification in the double form of "Judgement of God" and "Body without Organs".

Thus, in the first part of the article I will approach concept "God is a Lobster" as a concept through which assemblages have a tendency towards both stasis and change simultaneously. This invocation of God tries to avoid the transcendental excerption of creation behind the veil of external agency.

It thus seeks to explain the process of creation without the theistic creatio ex nihilo, and thereby approaches the new as the immanent process of creation that is called God. God that is the double articulation, that is a relation of content and expression, but springing from within intensive processes immanently.

In the second part of the article, I will then attempt to show through the concept of the godly lobster the process of creation and emergence of new genres of metal music as assemblages that have found a "Judgement of God", a momentary stage of stasis from which they allow lines of flight to emerge towards the "Body without organs" as the new substance of a new double articulation.
