not bad, not bad at all! will check out more.

thanks! got an album coming out soon! it'll be on bandcamp for free or cheap.

actually... "not bad" is quite the understatement. i like this very much, really!

music is weird. like i really enjoyed listening through damnation but i guess the mood it puts me in is one that i don't really want to spend too much time in.

that's really interesting. i kinda know what you mean, but i find it really odd.

i listen to a lot of metal. there are many sub-genres, even ones that are pretty uplifting/happy. but all metal i listen to is either suicidally depressive, or at least very melancholic. but i love it!!!

i know a few people (my brother for instance) that also have issues with "the mood that metal puts me in". vamos, can you elaborate some more?

well basically i like to listen to music that either sounds mystical or downright happy. occasionally i'll wander into some psychedelic, experimental realms. lately though i find that when i listen to certain music it can put me into a bad mood.

metal is one genre that tends to be consistently depressing. i've been trying to be positive lately so metal is something i sort of don't want to listen to. i'm pretty sure that come fall/winter i'll be back in the melancholic guitar mood though.

God, I will follow you because you died for me

Gave to me your life to set me free

Anyone who asks shall receive Jesus in your heart

It's time for you to start

Giving God all the glory, Yeah!

i believe the answer to this question is "yes"

Listen to hardcore instead.

maybe avoid death-like vocals and just stick to more melodic singing, that might make it easier

Opeth. If it's scandinavian, it's good.

Also try some good ol' thrash like Kreator.
