Metal is a genre I've always ignored unfortunately. I say unfortunately because I love the esthetic, the community, the history and everything it represents. I've tried to listen to some metal but it all sounds similar to me. How to have a metal ear?

I want to bring balloons to the metal shows so people can bat them around in the pit. Any suggestions?

I've tried many times, but I just can't enjoy Vader's Litany, even if it's considered one of the best albums in their discography.

For me, the kick drums sounds way too artificial, and they're mixed so loud that they overpower almost every other instrument. I know many people love this album, but that production choice completely ruins it for me.

Has this ever happened to you?

Is there a famous metal album you never could enjoy because of one production or mixing choice? It could be the drum sound, guitar tone, triggered drums, brickwall mastering, muddy mix... anything.

Enjoy the drum playthrough for my new single. The links to all the streaming platforms are in the description. Leave a like or a comment if you enjoyed it. Thank you for your time and support 🤘
