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

[mrdevious]

I'm a total metal head. I mean I just love metal, ever since I was 13 and discvoered metallica, then expanded to the many many bands I listen to today. In fact a couple weeks ago I went to the Megadeth/ Heaven and Hell concert in Vancouver, which was AMAZING. I mean metallica totally screwed me over not giving me the songs I wanted, but megadeth made me absolutely happy giving me the two songs I did want, Holy Wars and Trust.

Anywhoo, while I love to headbang and get a rush and all that, I find most of the time I listen to metal for quite a different reason. I find it really calming, soothing to the nerves. Death metal and black metal especially just put me into a type of trance that makes me feel great. 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 .

I'm a metalhead till death! I've been listening to black/death/thrash/power since I was 13. I'm 14 now. Black is my favorite though. It can make me feel in tune with nature, its diverse, it can be good to listen to at night, its thought provoking, I fucking love it. Drudkh, Ildjarn, Burzum, Immortal, Unleashed, Cannibal Corpse, Helheim, Judas Iscariot, Slayer, Metal Church, Monstrosity just to name a few.

yeah hunny, because a year is a really long time, lol

[TheFatKid]

Lol, thats the point. I've only been listening to metal for about less than a year and I already know a shitload of bands and been to tons of shows and whatnot.

[Papa Smurf]

I listen to metal simple because it is the shit. Nothing beats some good tech death, or death in general. Along with black metal and grindcore

o and stay away from cradle of filth, listen to some good black metal

[IllusionalFate]

Power/Progressive Metal is my favorite metal subgenre. Lost Horizon, Kiuas, Communic, Pagan's Mind, Hibria, and Angra are amazing!

[halfassedjediknight]

i listen to it because it makes me wanna drive faster.
