Celtic frost?
Tbh I preferred sodom when they went more mainstream (i.e napalm in the morning)

Some of my all time favorites for tapping into agression.

Skeletons of society is a damn good tune by slayer, as is postmortem, south of heaven, reign in blood.
Angel of death is good too, but can be considered to be āin bad tasteā.
I enjoy some metal. Most of it is just boring though. Monotonously the same. Occasionally something jumps out, Walk by Pantera is a great song for instance. The Game is a great Motorhead song. Most of it, just predictable and uninteresting. Might as well be Enya. Great if I want to fall asleep, lousy for everything else. I liked it more when I was in Highschool, then I grew out of it. And I never could stand any Prog Rock. I do not get the thrill at all. I assume itās music for musicians, there exists no other expanation for Rush existing.

mushroomā¦ thatās why rush exists (joking obviously)
I really like Tom Sawyer. Excellent song for background noise if relaxing/taking a nap.
Yeah. Iām sure there are mixed feelings about that one.
I think it was Dave Lombardo in an interview said (paraphrasing) that they wrote songs about the worldās biggest assholes.
Like, you donāt want to be the guy who gets a Slayer song written about you. 
I personally donāt have any particular issue with the notion of the song being released as itās musicā¦ nothing more
That being said, I do see it as being āin bad tasteā. Itās one thing to write a song about an asshole, openly condemning the individual within the lyrics. Angel of Death more or less seemed to take a neutral stance (i.e this was Joseph Mengele, he killed a lot of people). There was no mention of āand he was a piece of shit, a representation of all that is evilā
As a guitarist, I am pretty partial to stuff that interests me in a musicians type of way. Once I get the feel of the guitar down I can listen to the song as a whole.these are just a few that have been on regular rotation for a while. The BTBAM song is one of my all time favorites.
I didnāt know other people knew who he was.
I know itās not metal, but if you havenāt seen it, I recommend it highly. I got to see his son, cedric, at a free concert in my area a few years ago. There is a video floating around youtube of him as a kid playing drums for RL on their front porch. He was probably 6-7 years old. Pretty awesome stuff.

There are some people who are easily influenced but I think theyāre in the small minority and one shouldnāt censor a genre just because a couple of people are either idiots or already have mental issues of their own are influenced by some of the ādegenerateā shit these bands spout. The problem is the underlying mental illness of such individuals, not the music. Theyād find something else to be influenced by.
Itās the same with movies, art, literature, poetry etc unless weāre talking about actual propaganda of the really serious kind like an explicit call-to-action for mass killing of a minority group or encouraging people to watch Jimmy Fallonās show.
Hereās an extreme example to make a much less extreme point:
My schizophrenic relative cannot stand people walking around with slippers at home. You know why? Because when he hears the specific sound of footsteps caused by slippers, theyāre voices telling him the person wearing them wants to physically harm him. Then he turns violent.
The sound of normal footsteps and shoes donāt bother him itās only slippers.
This has been something that started only recently.
In the past, he heard the same voices because of the sound of water flowing through common pipelines in the toilet in his apartment when ever someone living above flushed the toilet. So heād go to the apartment right above his and smash the windows and threaten them with physical violence,
They blocked the sound somehow by sealing and covering the metallic parts with some kind of material.
If ALL schizophrenics reacted this way to slippers, would you ban them in society? No, youād keep them away from people wearing slippers. You can disallow guests to wear slippers in your house as well. But thatās all that can be done if you want a free society.
Note: This relative is a moderate schizo, not even a serious case who requires frequent hospitalization. He is almost functional and can actually interact with some friends and do normal shit but he canāt hold down a job because he sometimes goes nuts. And, you can tell thereās something not right with him just from the way he walks and speaks to you but heās still almost functional.

The same argument went on with video games. Religious organisations/certain conservatives spewed the argument violent video games create psychopaths. Literature doesnāt back this claim and at times can state the opposite to be true (i.e violent video games serving as a method of stress relief).
Same goes with sexual content in video games. Video games arenāt creating sadistic sexual deviants. Itās an argument steeped in hysteria in part due to fear regarding new technological advancements.
As youāve specified, a certain small minority already afflicted by mental illness may be influenced. But IMO itās not a valid reason to start putting bans in place.
As to children playing video gamesā¦ itās simple, children shouldnāt be playing grand theft auto. Just because something isnāt appropriate for children doesnāt equate to the need for a blanket ban being put in place.

Why? Itās about some dude encountering a cult. Itās a description of his state of mind, not an endorsement of it. Some of the Maiden dudes are Christians.
You really shouldnāt for people who have had no real exposure to the genre, especially the older generation.
But to add to your point about some idiots behaving badly, There ARE some punks who start trouble at concerts but like I was saying in the post above, these are assholes who want to start shit in the first place and this is an excuse to. I rather they fight at concerts than go fuck shit up in society. If anything, I think the music gives them some form of catharsis and the moshing at concerts give them an outlet to vent their anger so theyāre actually less likely to commit even more severe acts of violence in society.
Itās like why normal chicks are attracted to horror movies and those weepy chick flicks designed to make them cry and normal men like war movies and big explosionsā¦

Agreed to an extent, thereās also a mediating factor within these mosh pits. From what Iāve seen, if an asshole decides to go apeshit and start throwing random punches as opposed to shoving, body slams etcā¦ the crowd takes him out.
Iām one of those guys who will run smack bang into the middle of these mosh pits, itās fun. Injuries do occur, theyāre usually not purposefully inflicted. Itās just a rough crowd. It should be noted Iām not an aggressive individualā¦ like at all, I tend to use restraint within these scenarios regarding my own conduct in mosh pits. Itās a blast
To this date, I always end up injured.
Metal is fine, itās classical music thatās the real problem. Both Hitler and Stalin loved listening to classical music and Stalin was also a lover of ballet. We need to ban these things to protect the children.

I was talking about SJW movies in the other thread being a miscalculation on the part of producers that this was what they thought their target audience wanted to see because of the reaction to Trump in 2016 amongst other factors.
When The Last Jedi turned off their fan base and Solo flopped after that, they tried to pretend lots of the progressive themes in The Last Jedi didnāt happen in the final instalment of the series.
So, is it demand for such games driving the creation of them, or are these games created to influence people to do violent shit
I also said The Clash pretended to be āsocialistsā to appeal to fans because their record label told them to so they could sell more records. Did they turn people socialist or were a large part of their audience already socialists?
Talking about SJW filmsā¦ did you see the remake (second remake) of Black Christmasā¦ whatā¦ fuckingā¦ rubbish
Not only was it pg13 (1974/2006) films were Hard Rā¦ but it was feminist orientated. Black Christmas is supposed to be a gory slasher film, not a commentary on rape culture and gender studies.
NOOOO Iām not even a fan of slasher movies unless theyāre by Argento or thereās some really over-the-top violence. Never even liked the original Halloween but the original Black Christmas wasnāt bad.
