Where can I see them? haha

One of the first bands that made me comfortable with metal and ultimately music as a whole without having to be married to a genre. People don’t need to identify with a genre in their entirety. Just enjoy what they have to express and don’t worry about being a metalhead or hip hop head to belong. The irony of some genres like metal or punk and hip hop was that it was built by people who didn’t belong to some degree and it’s dumb for everyone to be a poster child or the face of a genre to like it. Enjoy it for what it is otherwise you’re wasting your time

@@Numerial0.0 Couldn't agree more however don't you find metal very tribal (and the sub-genres - my god are they unwelcoming)

​@@MarcusMoji I find some genres like that. All about ego and people preserving themselves, whatever "themselves" means to belong somewhere. Like how a band makes you special because it makes them feel special and it's not just metal where people gatekeep that uniqueness (Like some indie heads can be full of themselves but I think everyone should leave room to get over themselves). I guess in metal some people can be unhinged in that regard and be unwelcoming/violent/scary/all-around-assholes (not all people into metal are like that- just saying) use metal can be dark so it attracts some of those people who are like that but I personally find metal to discuss the darkness of life and overcoming that by living day by day and vibing the music to show the direction of frustration and crafting that into an art that can be healing of trauma, humanly resonating and therapeutic. It's an guiding outlet which is better than blowing people up with weapons. Emo, hip hop, ambient etc music is about the human experience. I was over with the concept of hardness/softness as a meta term because life is more complicated than that and its just a distractive label than to evolve. The tribalness isn't reflective of me, but that's just me others can handle that outlook since we've all got places to go, people to see. In the end there is love in metal because love is the force that allows things to happen- even the most horrible of things and metal can be a spirit to channel that path/growth into something sustainable and can keep you whole in a way and hold onto something despite everything falling to pieces. I don't know if I fully answered your question. I'll just leave it there. Peace

​@@MarcusMoji Sometimes when you think demons are hurting you, they're freeing your soul. It's because you're attached to things that you need to be free from. So when you're burning in shame or terror, with destruction, anger and darkness as the only ones accompanying you, they're helping you leave behind the things that you once knew to be comfort- because you need to grow and a constant state of comfort is (transformative) death's enemy (Death is change (many kinds of death, many kinds of change) and when you analyze it you have a wider view of life and where things can go because if you accept change more directions are available since that can be consciousness-expanding. imo. Also, looking at the bright side/ having a positive attitude can illuminate paths. Too much darkness can be bad imo :) ). So in a way devils can actually be angels freeing you from the Earth, because when you're free from the hands of what held you together, they're teaching you to be free of the darkness as well because they transform inside you because they ARE you as well as angels and that is life happening (To explain further, darkness can help you let go of darkness (due to it's nature of breaking things apart- its own grip on you breaks) as well and when that happens you can see the brighter intent/nature (idk) of a demon so you can see them as angels freeing you from the Earth). Devils really being angels let you go into the unknown to grow as a whole but as well as to grow the light in you. It's also the freedom to be yourself, the rawest speck of your existence in this tiny borderline nothingness in eternity. In the end it's all about how gracefully we let go of all this life and everything in it. Warriors, poets, politicians, scientists, degenerates, children shedding their toddler years, and the elderly seeing their loved ones pass as the years go, etc all let go of something in their lives and darkness and light are required for us to resonate with the wholeness of the life experience. That's why metal is beautiful to me because it faces growth and growth comes in ways many people can't face but facing darkness as well as evolving from it can make for a fulfilling, enriching life. The darkness in ourselves seen in the human experience being understood through different expressions of it and coming to terms with it and evolving is as honest as the breath we take to know we are still alive. Btw there's a movie called "Jacob's Ladder" which is a "PTSD" psychological thriller which is where I got the "demons freeing you from the earth" idea from. Idk take this with a grain of salt, pepper, oregano. Long live spices. Cheers stranger.
