Metal Wrath

Metal music is the most destructive form of music today...not only in the sounds but also in the damage done to the instruments during the gig. Heavy metal music fans are commonly identified by their unique looks and black T-shirts. More extreme fans worship metal by further going down the line by body piercing and tattoos. Though it might sound a bit wayward but this is how the world is for a normal metal head.

Posers are a breed apart. They want to pose because the believe that it gets them publicity and of course attention. They are basically attention seekers. Doing any thing in excess is insanity. But this holds true for normal people. You face a lot of patches in your life. A phase that is good for an appropriate age and time. A phase of collecting base ball cards. A phase of collecting marbles, shells, coins, stamps...u love it at the moment. And right now when you look back at the memories, all you think is " How stupid of me to do that sort of thing. "

Currently you might be collecting DVD's and VCD's of music u like. Your dad must be saying, "What has gotten into you ?????
Don't you see it???? It's all bullshit....a waste of money !!! "

And you must be thinking what the fuck dude....grow up man. You know what he is saying is true but still you know that everything has an age at which it happens ... and once you are out of that age ... you grow up.

But metal music is contrary to this. You will never hear a metal fan say, "I used to listen to Iron Maiden. Now I am into Paris Hilton." ... once a metal head ... always a metal head.
Heavy metal music is becoming damn popular. Kids growing their hair long, flashing the devil horn sign and playing their air guitars. But not everyone loves it. Critics think that its unsophisticated music for unsophisticated people. And it is sick, repulsive, horrible and dangerous kind of music. But opinions are like assholes ... everyone has one.

Metal music bears a sign that specifies what you worship. It is shown on what band T-shirt you are wearing. It is a symbol of what you represent. What makes metal a culture is the music primarily and the way people dress up. That makes the metal fan. Black is really important, leather is really important. Black represents danger, evil and also freedom. The kids who like metal look like they like metal. Everyone has long hair, everyone has tattoos, every one is in black.

Metal for me is a brotherhood...thats what keeps it alive. We pass it on to our younger brothers and to our friends. This is the way of life for me. I wake up. I got slayer on the stereo. Before I do anything. Some wake up drink coffee. I listen to slayer and testament.I mean it's in your blood. It's the air that you are breathing.

It's a sub-strata of society as it were. What attracts every metal fan to another is the tribal attitude. Lets go to a fest. Lets enjoy our-selves. And the fact that the outside world really doesn't understand is fantastic.

The thing that I love about metal is that it's so fucking huge but certain people don't even know it exists.

Heavy metal band Black sabbath sung principally about Satan that is something to be scared of. The fans however wanted a satanic band. And eventually commercial pressures meant that Black Sabbath exploited this kind of connection between them and demonic imagery and satanic ideas.

Who cannot think Black Sabbath without at least seeing an upside down cross...who cannot think of slayer without seeing a pentagram. You know its visually it kind of ties you to a certain band and sound. And the people who use them don't actually want Satan to rule the world. It is something that enhances the experience of the people.

The satanism that you see isn't satanism...it is some kind of character. if you want to look for satanism don't look towards rock and roll, they are just bunch of kids playing guitars and running round the stage. Thats Halloween.

When I first heard the band VENOM, I wasn't thinking Halloween, I thought they were truly satanic and I wasn't the only one. Venom just scared the shit out of me when i first heard it. I actually refused to buy those records because I was scared. It was so extreme. And now of course looking back look how big VENOM got because of it. Its a way for bands to become popular. Extremes always sell. Although venom and early metal bands used satanic verses to shock people, Slayer's lyrics directly attacked Christianity and as a teenage boy how can you not get excited by album titles like "Hell Awaits","Haunting Chapel" and "Reign in blood".

It's as if they earn money out of a belief, out of an aura they create. But this aura is enough for a soul to revert upon from time to time. Because they are a following. Because they are a Cult. Because they are a religion, a belief. Because they are the saviors.
