Does anybody listen to metal for the same reasons I do?

i get the same feeling, half of my friends think im insane as they complain my music taste is agressive and violent, (i do like alot of calmer stuff though :D) but i generally listen to a bit of system of a down or metalica or killswitch engage as im going to sleep

man im guna have fucked ears when im older!

i'm a metal head

I've been a fan of metal for about two years. Black, death, thrash, power, and folk are my favorite varieties. I have 53 metal bands written on my school binder.

whats some good psychedelic metal if there is any? dont say tool.

My favorite is very violent death metal with deep vocals, A good scream or deep growel makes me feel something I can't describe.. severely lifting my mood, like Cannibal Corpse, Torture Killer, Disgorge and Gorerotted

Psychotic Waltz.

i'm really into hardcore and when i go to a local show like a BANE show i deffinetly feel more calm, although its a chaotic environment, its structured and all the occupents are there for the same reason, and even better there there to support a cause!

I love metal. First genre of music i ever properly got into i guess. I don't know why I love it. I just do.

Thrash till death \m/

Actually right now I'm listening to the entire Slayer album "God Hates Us All" loudly on my headphones. I've been in a terrible mood today but by the time I got to track 8 it turned into a really relaxed happy mood.

Anybody know what I'm talking about, or I'm I just crazy? Not that that's a bad thing, I enjoy this type of crazy :) .

Man... i feel this way too... i used to love metal because it actually calms me down... i still love it, but now i have a better thing to calm me down... :stoned:
Anyway, listening some metal is always very good to the mind and to the soul... :chainsaw:

yeah I used to dig the old metal... hell, sometime's I'll crank the sepultura... but, I'm now a jazz and reggae type of guy.... rap too...
