Not an obsession




Everyone knows Metal is not an obsession; It's a way of life for me. I eat, sleep, drink metal. I prefer guys who listen to metal to guys who listen to mainstream music. I dig band t-shirts and controversial issues in my music lyrical content. So what's the appeal then? What makes METAL (and being a metaller) special to me and to thousands, even million other metallers in the universe? Here are some reasons that I think people like YOU should be informed of.

1. Because metallers/people who embrace metal are actually really nice, happy people who loves picking flowers and skipping to the supermarket for some beer. Even killer Norwegian drummer, Frost from Satyricon can't resist skipping in the meadows, stopping to smell the flowers around him.



2. We have beer. Come on! Even the non-drinkers will buy a non alcoholic beer, drink soda from a drinking horn or buy a bier stein right? HAHAHAHA consume beer = have fun = this.



3. Listening to metal clears help cope with break ups and will somehow help mend your fucked up life. Trust me. I listened to metal when I was feeling shitty and look at me now - I'm bloody happy all the time. When I get stressed, I listen to some metal. When I feel like punching someone in the face, I choose to listen to metal cause I know punching someone isn't worth it, AT ALL.

4. We metallers know how to party. Just bring some beer, chips, and maybe some nasi lemak & ice cream (because sambal is fucking metal, it burns your tongue and ice cream is cold, trve and kvlt), put on some Opeth CD and we'll get a party going on!



5. The amount of subgenres in metal totally overpower the amount of hair you have on your scalp. Hahaha. But seriously, there's A LOT of sungenres in metal that each of them is very different from each other. There's viking metal, wizard metal, space metal, pirate metal, symphonic metal, black metal, thrash metal, death metal, gothic metal, folk metal, progressive metal, avant garde metal, melodic metal, power metal, oriental metal, medieval metal etc. In short, there is a certain genre of metal that everyone can fit into. VARIETY DUDE! VARIETY!

Space metal (Vintersorg)


Folk metal (Falkenbach)


Symphonic metal (Leaves' Eyes)


Well, those are some of my reasons why METAL and the people who listen to it are just bloody awesome. I know I make crappy reasons and all but hey - everyone has their own reasons of why METAL is the best thing that exist in this universe. Now, I'm going to plan about what I'm writing about METAL next; I got a feeling its going to be about "Who says fashion and METAL can't co-exist?".

Stay metal everyone \m/

Vikings


I can't really describe how I feel right now. Sick? Confused? Lethargic? Sleepy? I really don't know.

So I went home early today as I wasn't feeling so good. Blame it on my runny nose. Pfft. Oh heck, got some rest at home earlier today. So right now, I feel sort of better. Hmm.

And this is really cool. Saw this at the History channel earlier this month. Awesome stuff.

Folk metal



I'm seriously addicted to various folk/viking/battle/epic metal bands. And Eluveitie its fucking ace! Their music, which is infused with a lot of folk elements, and there's like a bagpiper ah in the band! How fucking holy shnitzzle awesome is that? And their music doesn't only appeal to metalheads but also people who appreciate world music too! \m/

And these are just some other good folk/viking/epic/battle metal bands.


Equilibrium
