+For my younger readers: much new music is mixed in such a way that it sounds good on tinny (and tiny) smartphone speakers, often at the expense of sound quality on better audio systems. The songs below are not. If you can, please listen to these song snippets through a good pair of wired headphones, earphones, or speakers for the best experience (it's true: wireless sounds worse). You won't want to go back once you do.

 The beauty of extreme metal genres eludes many a music lover. I was one of them, until in 2007 a friend and I were able to snag some free tickets to Ozzfest by drinking far too many cans of Monster. I'd been into some slightly heavier music; I'm still a big Rammstein fan, but I just didn't *get* all of that screaming nonsense… until I saw it live.
 
 The power of music is its ability to make you feel: opening you up like a tin can, cramming you full of new emotions and bolstering existing ones, allowing them to override the habitual suppression you've long since stopped noticing; more than mere entertainment, in this way, listening to music becomes a means of exploring, experiencing, and feeling themes and emotions on your terms. As the bass from those gargantuan sub-woofers tears through your body like the drums of a pipe band alongside amplified human screams, growls, and gurgles—the sounds of anger, fear, anguish, and death: seeing a metal act in the flesh *does* something to you.
