I largely got into the more extreme styles of metal because of their cathartic nature. Freshmen year in high school really sucked hard for me because everyone I knew went to a different school that I wasn't in the zoning for and the school wouldn't let me exchange in so I was forced to go to a new high school completely friendless. If it wasn't for Strapping Young Lad's 1997 album City I don't think I would have lasted, I seriously wore that album out on my CD player both during school and on the bus ride home.
