Your not crazy ele when im listening to metal or after i have my head is clear im relaxed and it just makes me feel so good it really is unexplainable.... even the brutality of death metal meakes me fell so good and relaxed and i LOVE it....

I was never an avid fan of metal until now. As a matter of fact, I used to despise most metal genres a long time ago. When I got into progressive rock, I was very curious of what technical/progressive metal was like. I discovered Dream Theater in the process, and was completely astounded at the superb music created by individuals who were genial virtuosos on their instruments. I soon dwelled into other excellent metal genres to search for innovative music, but holding my prog roots close.

There are various qualities that makes me appreciate the genre. The guitars solos incorporated within the complex song structures and unusual crushing riffs are almost flawless. They always fit within the concept of song, whether they are vindictive or neutral. It's almost like hearing the music speak, it's an eargasmic experience. It makes me sit down and listen to it carefully, appreciating every aspect of it. Even the drums has to have complicated playing styles, in order to make the music a living experience. Whether it's the brutal blast beats of death metal, or technical drumming of prog metal, they all share the same trait of talent and commitment. The lyrics too, are superb, unlike most rubbish today. It's not some " I love you, you love me, I'll love you forever till I die," bullshit. The lyrics are elegantly written down, as per the music. Most of them are based on philosophical, conceptual or fantasy based themes. Even if the lyrics are gory - like in some bands, they are still fantastic in the way they're written. The band members also have excellent muscianship, working together, composing elegantly to make something out of nothing.

Out of the many musical genres I listen to, I consider metal to be one of the best.
