metal

Distorted guitars, crazy rhythms, dense bass, and insane vocals. What it means to be a metal head.

Descent
I am naught but a passenger on this train. The trains arrive, and then they depart. The sun rises, and it sets.

Why One X is Three Days Graces' Magnum Opus
Introduction: The Emotional Resonsance of My Childhood I remember my first encounter with Three Days Grace well. I was only 9 at the time and had no idea the profound impact the day I spent with my cousin would have on my life. We were in the garage talking to my uncle as he worked on some car-related task. The paint-splattered boom box playing a CD I first mistook for a generic rock group. It was the One X CD which had just come out earlier that year.

Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To - Album Review. Content Warning.
I love heavy music, and while I know it isn't for everyone, I find it deeply compelling. The naunces, the raw, often unapologetically unfiltered emotions, and the technical prowess that is so often on display thrill me. I know lots of people miss that and that's fine.
