Re: How Metal Affects You
It affects people around me. lol They think I'm strange & different, sounds about right. The odd one thinks I'm a Satanist & I don't tell them otherwise.
I'm not a new kid on the scene, been around Metal & rock for over 35 years starting with Sabbath. As my taste for it developed my circle of mates changed, some of my old old mates think I'm weird but who gives a fook.
I'm also well into the Goth side of rock so all the mainstream groups dislike me, ooo look he's got a shaved head & tattoos.
Music for me is emotional (I don't mean emo), I play what suits me at the time, as I type this "Until Death Overtakes Me" is on in the background, before that it was Deathcamp Project ( a bit Goth for most on here I would think).
The lines of genres are so blurred it's hard to say what is metal & what isn't, I don't think there are any rules. It's each to their own (as long as it's loud & heavy).
