At 50 years old, metal has always been there for me. Fashions come and go but metal is just there, mutating, evolving like it itself is a living thing and in that way it is spiritual to me. I have a disorder called Schizoaffective (its like a mix of schizophrenia and bipolar) and when things get bad for me I can turn the 'spirit' that metal feeds me with into all sorts of things. For example, on a simple practical level, metal is meant to be loud and that very physical loudness can block out the voices I hear. Or maybe the raw aggression can fuel me into making it through the day but it is the spiritual, meditative feeling I get from playing metal in order to rest that helps me most of all. Simply, I feel calm when metal is playing and that allows me to sleep when all the meds in the world don;t help.

I know what you mean about metal helping you with a disorder. I have anxiety disorder, I get panic attacks which are so mentally exhausting and painful. I would never take meds I absolutely hate them, but metal really brings you down to earth, gives you something to concentrate on and the lyrics can be so relatable. Spiritually, I have to say for me, Metal gives me more emotion and meaning in my life then any god ever could.

Hey! I wanted to know what genre or bands to listen to that have great drum fills and such, i don't mind listening to awesome guitar solos but some bands just have their drums in the background... 

Hey rock lover here! I love Nu and Death metal and my favorite bands include: Evanescence, Disturbed, Bullet for My Valentine, Breaking Benjamin, Nirvana, In This Moment, Slipknot, Greta Van Fleet, Five Finger Death Punch, Drowning Pool, A Day to Remember, Tool, Motionless in White, Asking Alexandria just to name a few! (I know some of these aren't technically metal but oh well...)

If anyone has any suggestions based on these bands I would love to hear them!!
