Heavy metal is music to enrage the savage beast. For me, Metal was never about rebellion or anger, it was about kick ass guitars and pounding drums, thundering bass lines and powerful vocals.

[@musenyx]

Metal has genuinely got me through personally tough times when I didn't have many people to turn to. My second relationship was with an emotionally manipulative guy who completely changed how I acted, how I expressed myself, and he treated me as his personal therapist and caretaker, as far as emotions go. Its been a while since we broke up and theres still emotional and mental scars for me. Every now and then I get bad panic attacks from things that make me revisit extremely detailed memories of being with him. Metal is the only thing that's allowed me to funnel my rage somewhere besides myself or other physical things. I've been able just let everything out. Its cathartic in a way.

[@meganwhite9090]

Metal is like the release valve on a lot of people's emotions, it lets you vent and get things off your chest and at the same time it feels good to hear that someone else understands how it feels, it helps focus the anger on something constructive too

[@mylescasey1771]

It's kind of like 'venting', listening to loud/aggressive music can calm you down, in a peculier way.

[@badjuju6430]

Megadeth, Metallica and Pantera is like therapy for me. there's all sorts of problems relevant to me and i don't always think having a sit down and cry is the best way to go. Metal and for me particularly thrash metal is motivating and in a way uplifting it leaves me clear and feeling like I've worked through something, made progress. and once I'm done with the anger I usually hop to Iron maiden for something uplifting then the cure for something optimistic, chuck on some daft punk for the wind down and finally Johnny Cash for something soothing and blue.

[@Illumirage]

I get it. Kind of like how people play GTA and get into a high speed chase rather than doing it in real life. It's a pressure release valve.

[@badjuju6430]

Damien INSANE-O. I mean I do physically mosh by myself when I do it so it’s a tad more physical but yes GTA works as an example. More like it uses up the emotion for me.

"I finally realized that there were other people out there who felt the way I did" Thank you so much for saying that.

No one is immune, but thanks to these incredible artists and their stories, no one is truly alone either.

Being normal in our society means to keep silent about the dark stuff that happened to us, the traumas that we had to face. But not talking about the problem doesn't make the problem go away, it just makes it feels heavier and heavier each passing day. It's poisoning you from inside. If you are lucky, you might have some understanding people around you - family or friends - that you can open to, but some of us don't have even that. And with most people, we are just supposed to smile and pretend like we are okay, even if we are not. It's isolating, frustrating and emotionally draining. And then we discover metal - safe place where we can let out our inner demons without the fear of judgement, where we can confront the past, together with other people who went through the same stuff as we did, so we finally feel understood and not alone. I can positively say that since getting into metal, my mental health improved drastically.

I am 53 years old and was big into Thrash back in The 80s. I saw Metallica with Cliff Burton back in April 1986, I saw Megadeth at a tiny club in Boston as well as Anthrax. I also auditioned for Anthrax when they fired Neil Turbin. I was also a Christian at the time (and still am) which was my greatest weapon against other Christian's, who tried to turn me against Heavy Metal. I also listened to Slayer, Venom, Mercyful Fate and others because it was just art. There were some bands I avoided such as Atheist because the drummer wore swastikas all the time. Another band I avoided was called Incubus released a demo called "Christ Died On His Knees". Also not all Thrash musicians are "Chill". All the guys in Slayer had a reputation for being a-holes as were Megadeth. In fact all four of the big Thrash bands avoided going into the crowds and hanging out with their fans. And not all the Christians that I debated were aggressive. On a final note, why aren't these Atheists going after Islam? But they're brave for standing up against those violent Christians who threatened to pray for me.

asking why Metal is angry is like asking why grass is green

[@mathisbarrez1855]

I love this series so much, thank you for putting it together it's awesome !

[@TealScarab]

Do a video on Doom Metal!!

[@scottkeys6212]

Well thought out and insightful video.nice one.

[@wempig]

What Alternative metal is mad at depends on the band, for example: soad is angry at polotics

[@melvinhowell2012]

Metal is the personification of someone seeing the world for what it is and how messed up we have made it and realizing that there is nothing we can do to change it, then putting that anger and frustration to music. To me nothing works better to calm me down when I am angry than putting on a good song and thrashing out to it.

[@hallongrotta9114]

My favourite punk band is Operation Ivy, their music sound very happy, it's a hardcore punk band mixed with ska

[@martindrengenxbox360]

One time while on a roadtrip with a friend, she asked me why I was so obsessed with metal and knew as many songs as I did. Much like how you ended this video, I explained to her it was like a cathartic release of emotions. A way to let it all out in a good way, first aid for the soul. We listened to some more songs and I explained some of the emotions behind certain lyrics and eventually she seemed to get it. At the end of the trip she was exploring different bands and even took a liking to Mustasch.

Iowa and Slipknot 1999 where the best albums in the new era to describe anger, self destruction and inner thoughts at their best.

[@lewis1305]

This is my favorite Loudwire video

[@notyouraverageharleyquinnstan]

This title made me laugh lol like seriously

[@stevevilla6681]

Whenever I listen to metal, I feel pumped up and more positive than earlier before listening to it.

[@neonknight-1522]

Its definately the best music genre

[@bertalanolah6565]

The "metal" distortion guitar already gives it away: that's the instrument chosen for anger, aggression, testosterone, darkness, evil, bad-ass, etc... That's why I've been hesitant to call anything metal that's about a sad breakup or being sung with teenage-clean melodic vocals.

[@Qwerty-ks8dn]

You mean all that metalcore rubbish for pop fans who wanna be metalheads but without having to listen to metal...

[@bertalanolah6565]

@@Qwerty-ks8dn Don't even get me started mate :D Periodically someone comes up with a formula on how to dilute metal to make it hip. When that's successful a lot of chimps jump on the bandwagoon which ultimately falls into a cliff after a few years. I'm not mad at the children who got hooked, I'm not mad at the sales people or the bands who wanna milk them for some money, I'm just mad that this music gets tagged as metal and makes it harder for me to hunt for music. I can't just start some metal classics playlist on Spotify without getting Linkin Park. I get notifications from apps that Disturbed plays in my town because I've given metal music as my main interest previously. Just call that genre 'distorted lame' or something and leave me at peace, I'll do the same :D

[@NandigamS]

Same

[@greglane334]

Metal people are generally chill. People who say otherwise don't know many metalheads

[@goreconsumption5127]

Never in my life seen loudwire pin comment

[@Mirrodin82]

I've been hanging out with metalheads for the majority of my life. From my personal experience they are the most fun, interesting and kind people I ever met.

[@julienj9678]

It's so powerful, emotionnal, angry, funny....

[@Lilrockerdude13]

Beautiful video, the series as a whole has been freakin awesome and have loved every video. So much I didnt know about each generation of the genre and actually got me to listen to alot of pre 90s metal I never grew up with. Keep up the fucking amazing job Loudwire

[@gamezgarage3987]

Great video, Just absolute love.

[@juliantorres8818]

Stay Angry my friends

[@thatonezeldaguy250]

Metal music is about 100% expression, and people try to surpress your anger and metal let's you express that anger, everyone's too busy telling you it'll get better but it's ok to be mad, if you keep it in you'll be a ticking time bomb
