Seriously, Metal kicks ass. It is a genre that is being destroyed but will always prevail because it's listeners will not be subject to fagdom. I agree with 47 although it is not the most artistic form. that would be classical. i am not a fan of classical, i dont listen to it out of choice but it wont make my ears burn. It is stereotyped as being "satanic" when really its not. not at all. bands like Deicide are into that stuff but bands like Chimaira are not. It is ignorance that is ruining metal because people hear it and just hear screaming when there is truly more to it. few people do understand it the first time they hear it, i didnt at first, but now im a diehard metalhead. listen to the music before you start shitting all over it.
