Fair enough.

Before about 2005, I did not prefer the growls, groaning, and screams (outside the few delivered by Phil in Pantera). However, I remember the first time I pondered the crossroads of interest. I was listening to "Full Moon Madness" by Moonspell off of "Irreligious" and thoroughly enjoying the music until near the end the harshness began. Having to face, I could finally branch out and get the "Intelligent man's 'Death Metal' of Opeth, I threw in the towel rejecting it. It led to me getting into Graveworm, Estatic Fear, and countless others in the Gothic Metal genre. I realized at some point that the characterization of the growls, screams, groans, has a narrative reason as to why they are there in some songs, and not others.

I actually thought , once like when i was way younger,16-17? that metal was the only entity that would save the entire humanity and the world, I remember even swearing it to my friends to mark my words lol ...now I really wish that was true..i still do hope even now actually at 27.

ppl jst dont want to find out what it is all about ..they'd rather with only the nicest things and let others deal wit the dirty jobs.. i find that very selfish and irresponsible..I know ,I mean it may sound annoying and loud and distracting and what not but come on if look deeper or care enough to look into what's behind the so called growling, squealling one may find priceless treasures...simple, read the damn lyrics.these guys have a lot to say that makes a hell lot of sense,they are serious people with good intend, truth is ugly you know and obviously anger come with it (I.e if you really have a heart and care for something).you can't help but SCREAM being angry ...look at the way the system is, the values we embrace ah!.....you know better.., youd b actually surprise to find dudes with long hair, tattoos , spikes n piercing are the nicest ppl on the planet..to
cut it short for me metal music opened my eyes and I'd remain thankful cos now I know what I believe is the truth and it set me free, I denounced everything then.. I only believe in trying to be good and help myself without letting other pay for my needs,greed, or whatever!...I treasure bands like FEARFACTORY, Faith no more,TOOL and zillion screaming n not screaming others as well, most that belong in the 80sto early 20th...and now I hate to see it becoming more like a trend rather than a revolution, Bt there is always hope I suppose...
