METAL MUSIC IS A LIFESTYLE

For many metal heads, Metal is not just about the music; although it is the driving force. For most it’s a lifestyle; an open door to express themselves freely without contempt.
Once you start listening to the music many other aspects start to appear, the sweaty thrashing bodies in the pit no longer seem reckless; they are a united force of metal muscle, dripping with sweaty love for their music. Their life force. The hundreds of horns flying through the air aren't menacing anymore; they are the symbol of brutal enthusiasm.

The metal lifestyle brings with it a sense of free expression and free will; there is no set style to adhere to. Each band, each person, has their own sense of self. Between ripped jeans, steel toe boots and women with a brutal yet sexy appeal, this band of metal goers often gets bad publicity. Let’s face it though, there is bound to be someone in any scene that tries to ruin it for the whole. However, this doesn't denote the constant slur of shame that is thrown at the metal community. This community demands respect, as it is willing to give it in return.

The metal community has been paving the way from the underground to the main stream for many years and will continue to do so. From hole in the wall bars to stadium seating and week long events; Metal-lives and breaths through the masses. Supporting numerous causes and promoting freedom of expression, Metal music and its community of brutally passionate men and women will continue to grow and thrive.
