There’s a difference between noise meaning volume and noise meaning distortion.
The distorted noise often swamping heavy metal has a big market, usually teenagers who delight in locking themselves into their bedroom, turning up the volume on their crappy ghetto blasters and sandpapering mummy and daddies eardrums.
However, heavy metal doesn’t always need to be a form of aural torture. Some of the most powerful political criticism of where our species has placed itself can be heard in heavy metal. Shame most of todays classical music has no similar political message.
