I am a huge nerd when it comes to metal music...I just get so into it, its like part of my life force. Like I mean there are metalheads and then there is me who is so completely and entirely obsessed with metal music.
I mean OMG the vocals, guitars, keyboards, drums and other various random instruments are just amazing, I don't see how people can trade that in for entirely artificial obnoxious sounding pop music.
Oh. My. Gosh. YES! This is me all the way. I have a huge "collection" of metal of all kinds and I have an unusual knack for understanding the rough vocals. Whenever I try to share my music people are like "I can't even understand this". It is then that I remember that what is easy and natural for me, is not so for others. Honestly, (I have been reluctant to tell people this face to face) but to me, metal is beautiful. It is true music, just art. Most people would listen to classical instrumental music to calm themselves and relax, and they would listen to metal if they were trying to get aggressive and excited. For me however, metal is my go to when I am tense and anxious at the world. It calms me as I get lost in it. I hate when people refer to metal as "headbanging music". It is raw beauty and emotion in my opinion. I love picking out the different instruments playing their own melody blending with the others to create something amazing.
I don't care how many people think I am nuts because of it but that is what I think.
