    Metal is so much more than noise... but it's super fun when it is devastatingly heavy and noisy too :)

    That's why I love metal. Has such a huge range of different sounds... can be pretty raw, brutal and heavy but it can play nice in just as many ways. You can melt it and shape it in any way you want. So much variety in this genre, you can sing about anything and sound however you want, there are no limits.

    I can think of ten melodies from metal songs off the top of my head without even putting much thought into it that if they were written 300 years ago and played by an orchestra they’d still be called masterpieces today, and I know I’m not the only one.

    Metal is a genre I'm always listening to because it really brings out everything I like about music and there are lots of songs with very deep meaning lyrics I can't skip over. It's like there's no ceiling or expectation to respect in it. It's a free playground for bands and solo artists to experiment in every way, from the most mellow tunes to out right messed up things. Thanks for the beautiful omage to the genre!

  • @TheWarriorXander

    Metal is my therapy, has been for over 20 years at this point. Got into metal in like 1999-2000 when I was 11-12, and now so many years later, I have accumulated a massive library of songs spanning decades and genres/subgenres, and even though I listen to metal every day, I'm never tired of it. Sometimes I don't feel like listening to anything super brutal so I'll listen to lighter stuff like Power Metal or Symphonic or Doom, or even just a mellow album by a band I love, like Opeth's Damnation. Other days all I want to listen to is the heaviest stuff I can get my hands on, so I put on Death Metal, Deathcore, Black Metal and stuff like that. Still other times I just want something that feels comfy, and reminds me of simpler days, so I go to old Slipknot and Godsmack and Disturbed and just chill. I'm a firm believer that anyone out there, no matter their preferred genre of music, there is a metal song or band they can listen to and enjoy.

    Metallica would be a great example. Their instrumentals like Orion, To Live Is To Die and Suicide And Redemption speak beautifully without lyrics. There's also other songs like That Was Just Your life, Fight Fire With Fire and let's even say Atlas, Rise all have their combinations of melody and harmony and they're all so fun to listen to. Unmatched discography right there.

    Just take a look at music history during past 15th centuries how started. midlevel to renaissance to Baroque to classical period and so on ... and now metal music. Metal it's just a perfection of music and there is no higher level than this. the skill level in metal is super high even other genre can't compete with it. Metal it is own creation that is most important fact. if somebody say metal is just noise unfortunately they have no knowledge about metal music and they don't understand it. They just have to look deep enough to see all different genre in metal which have a lot of variety of chords, melody, arpeggios, and etc.

    One needs to listen to something like the cover of Night Comes Down by Katatonia and tell me how it's just noise.
    People who claim rock and metal music being noise just don't want to hear beyond their own assumptions. And to think how much metal draws from other genres of music; with metal you get almost, if not, everything.

      "All the kids are so bad nowadays". Said every generation ever about the generations after them. Bet your generation was also considered the worst by the gen of your parents and grandparents. Are you a bad person? I'm sure you aren't. But you are a pretty ignorant and incredibly dumb person for thinking the same way as older generations thought about yours and you are incredibly dumb for thinking "kids these days" don't enjoy music.
      To all the kids out there: Enjoy your music and keep rocking. Learn an instrument, join a band, make the world a more musical place. Don't listen to old people trying to tell you you should respect them while they simultaneously disrespect you. Respect does have to be earned to a degree, but being decent and kind towards each other should be fundamental basics. Don't let those old folks take you down.
