It all sounds demonic to me, so I steer clear of heavy metal.
Headbang to MEGADETH....you will not be angry afterwards...great speed metal/ great words.
Especially death metal. It literally sounds like the voice of Satan.
Most of the most demonic people I know (leftists) aren’t into heavy metal at all. Also if you listen to most of the heavy metal lyrics much of it is a commentary on the ills and injustices of our society. Much of of it comes across as evil but it reflects the raw emotion and frustations of the people who embrace it. Plus its the best cruising music IMO. I kinda grew up on it starting with Kiss. My 2 avorites are probably Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. Saw them all live in the 80’s in their heyday.
He left out Symphonic Metal, which is very different from a lot of other forms of Metal.
The whole album, “Hydra” from Within Tempation is excellent, so don’t knock it until you’ve heard it.
I like many genres of music, though I do listen to various forms of Metal most often. A lot of European bands, and a lot of it symphonic and orchestral.
Agreed.
It’s very dark and chaotic.
How does the first movement of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony sound to you?
