_Favorite metal song?
_I mainly listen to metal, usually progressive metal. It's my favorite genre simply because my dad was weird and I grew up with progressive metal, specifically TOOL.
_My favorite song by TOOL by far is Rosetta Stoned, and I want to do a damn essay on it if I ever finally take music theory classes.
_It's 666 seconds long. That's all I'll say for now.
_I've decided each hour I'm going to share another one of my favorite metal songs!
_Another one of my favorite progressive metal songs, is The Grudge, also by TOOL.
_515 seconds long, this song feels like it goes between coldness and petty rage, which fits the theme of the song being about a nondescript grudge, and the odd futility of letting it go, the anger that comes with being unable to let it go.
_It also has one of my favorite lyrics in any song ever! A 25 second long scream, or rather, yell, it isn't a screamo music yell.
_I would like to emphasize the song does not feel all that angry. A huge gripe of mine is that with music like this, the vocals are often bad, and people often justify that by saying "It's to emphasize anger and it's therapeutic"
_But this song is proof there is more than one way to portray anger, and in a way that isn't unpleasant to listen to
_Ænima, by TOOL.
_399 seconds, this song is just fun. It's one of those songs about California just finally falling into the ocean, destroying everything, especially the hell-hole that is L.A.
_Maynard(lead singer) only offers a three word suggestion, to keep everyone occupied, "Learn to swim".
_Uh, don't read if you don't want any profanity, just gonna type some of the lyrics uwu
_"Some say a comet will fall from the sky,
_followed by meteor showers and tidal waves,
_followed by fault lines that cannot sit still,
_followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits"
It depends.
If it's progressive metal, Gojira's "The Cell" is great. I also like Northlane's stuff, their new album Obsidian.
For my recent favorite, it's Wage War's "Manic"
