Heavy Metal Music: Good or Bad?




     Like other music genre, heavy metal has positive impact in our lives also although a lot of people more know about bad effects from heavy metal music. As we have seen, heavy metal is a genre music that developed thick vocal, massive sound and the characterized by highly amplified distortion and overall loudness. The example of heavy metal band such as Avenged Sevenfold, Dream Theater, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Deep Purple. This music genre used to make a controversial result about how the people considered that heavy metal is not good to be filled in lifestyle. People always esteemed the dark side of heavy metal music so far, actually this music has positives effect like other music genre although there is no visceral research about this music genre. But, still believe that heavy metal music also has the positive impact, there some good side of heavy metal. For instance, heavy metal uses to reduce stress, frustration and anger explosion. And for one reason, heavy metal music is therapeutic, during we’re listening heavy metal, we have to release aggression and tension so we will not to do the violence way. So, I am convince that heavy metal can hold the reins our feel, mood, anger to be more good than in advance.
    
     As heavy metal has the music genre with hard and aggressive level, metal music’s devotee could escape from desolation, frustration, stress, fury, etc. Sciencedaily magazine published that was a study research about heavy metal music’s effect recently, even the research mentioned that heavy metal music followers more be able to controlling their negative emotion, expressive added and they had rather wreak the anger even though that research revealed heavy metal music’s addicted sloping have difficulty when they make relationship with friends and their family. But the surprised results study about it that research has evidenced if heavy metal music can assuage bad mood situation. With listen this music, listeners can reveal and escape from frustration and anger. They can show out the anger, abhorrence, betrayal, and incredulity with heavy music, trying to pour expression, to convey emotion into heavy metal music. This research held by a psychologist from University of Warwick who named Stuart Cadwallader.”We are looking at a group with lower than average self-esteem that does not feel quite as well adjusted. They feel more stressed out and turn to heavy metal as a way relieving that stress” (Cadwallader, 2007). Listen the heavy metal music would be a mood stabilizer especially for teenagers who had depression mental. The teenagers more relaxed and could take out their sadness or anger after listen this music however the parents should take control them when children’s mood are being down. This music genre absolutely will decrease stress and frustration. We have known that stress and frustration are responsible for suicide cases. Since heavy metal use for alleviate stress, so this music can reduce suicide potential. Listeners will more calm down and feel better than before. So, actually heavy metal music is not causes paranoia or craziness, not all heavy metal music genres was contained by negative things although there are many wrong perceptions about heavy metal and they often identifies that heavy metal music was connected with crime. This music can help us wreaking the anger and sadness, and we should use it for positive things without show the excessive expression. 
    
     Furthermore within noisy music in style, in fact heavy metal has another benefit as therapeutic. As we know, this music could release tension without make violence around. According to Hammett (2001) “I think heavy metal is therapeutic - its music that blows tension away. I think that’s why people who have had really bad childhoods are attracted to heavy metal. It allows people to release aggression and tension in a nonviolent way. Also, heavy metal has a community feeling – it brings outsiders together. Heavy metal seems to attract all sorts of scruffy, lost animal, strays no one wants.”
Its means that heavy metal music can release tension and aggression, so we would not make violent way to reduce our high tension, anger and aggression without in a violent mode. Sometimes we find out in some event there was a group boys who attend live music concert, use the principal, “Hit me, you killed!” That principal be in contradiction about heavy metal music genre, their music views must be asked. Verily, the man who follows heavy metal or heavy metal music’s addicted, not all people made elaborate like an extreme metal boy and wear the accessories that like as crazy men. That’s one reason or example why many people has negative perspective about heavy metal music. A good viewer of heavy metal music or also known as ‘metalheads’ should to exploitation and show expression about his anger, emotion and frustration through positive thinking. Positive things it could means non-violent way, because they shall shout out it all while accompanied by the hard strains of heavy metal’s tone. As a metalheads someone not must show themselves with metal appearance characteristic and visible things. It should be linked with our mind and soul, moreover ourselves which counter it all without through violence way. Finally, excerpt from Kirk Hammett’s (Metallica band guitarist) quotes, heavy metal music can help people to release their aggression and the people will not allows making the violence.

     Finally, heavy metal music within aggressive music, there are some good effect in life. This music help us release sadness and the furies then we have to be practicing with positive things, without to express too excess just listen it. Heavy metal music is also as therapeutic for to do non-violent way and escaping from stress. That all fracture the judgment from many people that often views wrong perception about this music. They had a notion that heavy metal cause craziness, in fact not all kind of metal music has negative sense. Because we are not that needs must be difference but human has made with variety of emotion.  So, the difference people with difference emotion too, we have to choice the music genre and it should be good impact for our life.
