Sometimes Only Heavy Metal Knows How You Feel

I get ribbed on a lot because I like heavy metal and dark metal music. But honestly what else do people listen to when they're pissed? Mozart? No if you listen to Mozart or Chopin when you are angry then the worst thing to ever happen to you in life was a paper cut (conclusion made on years of observation).
The combination of heavy guitar riffs, bass and drums just makes all the anger come out of my pores. When I start listening to a heavy metal song, I am one person; angry, possibly hating life. At the end of a song (or an entire album depending on how angry or frustrated I am) I am able to see the light again. The world becomes a more manageable place and life doesn't suck as much anymore. To you sweet poptart song lovers who think I sound demented or sick and whatnot GET OFF MY BLOG! Thank you have a good day.

To enjoy the pure craziness that comes with metal enjoy the following


This is one of my favorite songs from the 'Sucker Punch' soundtrack. Sucker Punch by the way was a great movie. Don't listen to the critics, I had a great time (I was slightly depressed at the end, but it was well worth it).



And here is the genius that is Till Lindemann and the band Rammstein with "Sonne" which is German for "the Sun." Richard Kruspe is a guitar genius! I show you the live video instead of the album version or the official video because it's easier to see the emotion Till puts into his words. I should add Till doesn't sound his best here because a) doing a live show is hard and b) this is well into the concert (almost at the end in fact) so the poor guy must have been tired at this point. Also there's fire. Rammstein loves fire. Bloody pyros haha!



And then there's Reise Reise (German for "Arise, Arise"). Demented as hell for those who speak German or have translating capabilities at hand (Google Translate?). This song is epic and so is the scenery and action that goes with it. I repeat, Richard Kruspe is a musical genius.



And finally, one of my favorite songs ever. German band Oomph's song "Ich will dich nie mehr sehen" (I never want to see you again). This song is the right mix of anger and melody. It's perfect for those horrific days you occasionally have when you want to yell at someone or at everyone but you just can't find it in yourself to do it. Just yell "Lass mich los du feiges Schwein, ich will dich nie mehr sehen!!!" Even if you don't speak German it's perfect!

So stay strong and if you're feeling weak or vengeful or whatever, remember that sometimes only heavy metal knows how you feel. If you are a metalhead be proud of who you are and what you represent.
