Life in Metal

I'm a metal head to the core…I love my music and I love it heavy. More specifically I love Melodic Death Metal, which is a sub genre of heavy metal characterized by sweet guitar riffs, atmospheric sounds and more often than naught, deep growling vocals. Of the many notable bands that play this genre of music I’m most enamored by Insomnium, In Flames,Children of Bodom,Kalmah,Thine Eyes Bleed etc

That’s not to say that I don’t like slow songs…its just that I outgrew them several years ago. Starting from my early days when I rifled though my dad’s old Abba and Bony M cassettes to my real music awakening with Linkin Park and The Prodigy, I’ve heard most of the music types out there. Somehow nothing appeals to me more than melodeath metal and Metalcore

However listening to death metal has always had a certain stigma attached to it…A friend once asked me if I get aggressive and angry whenever I listen to my music…on the contrary I actually find it soothing and a great way to unwind,(they Mock at me when i scream in class)

Theres nothing like a double bass beat with a twin guitar attack and good bass lick to calm the soul and transport you into headbanger's heaven.

Even the lyrical themes are mostly expressionist and are much more ‘user-friendly....
