Is it normal for heavy metal to relax you?

For some odd reason heavy metal relaxes me..soft noises annoy me, they relax my mind.. not screamo but like the band Skillet, their heavy music relaxes me but other slow songs from any kind of band annoy me..is it normal? it's always been like this, same with playing games..people say games keep you up but games seem to help me sleep cause my mind is working and tiring me I guess. IIN?

    Some good Black Metal Like ''sombres forets'' or Misery luminis ... Satanic Warmaster too...

    That does the trick for me.

    Having sex listeing to ''Dying Feotus'' is awesome and a little ironic.

    I'm the same, I guess if you listen to any one genre of music for long enough it becomes your comfort zone. Hence why it relaxes you.

    No. I hate heavy metal. It drives me crazy and makes me anxious. D:

  • It's the same for me. I use Five Finger Death Punch, Breaking Benjamin, Nickelback, and Adelitas Way to help me relax. It's weird, but for some reason it helps. :)

    I find metal specially soothing when shit is hitting the fan. Not sure why but I think my subconscious is relieved to have sensory input that matches the chaos within.

    It depends on the song. Usually, it powers me up and rejuvenates me!

    Depends on the song/album.

    Skillet? They just put a distortion pedal on a beginners blues solo and jam power chords. I find nothing wrong with metal music being soothing like Meshuggah or Impending Doom, so there's nothing odd about you doing that either.

    Metal is soothing to me because it allows for aggression release. I always feel more balanced after cranking some death metal in my car or in my room.

    I often notice that my music taste gets heavier when I'm upset, or something is wrong, like I'll listen to much more black metal. It calms me down because it fits with my mood.

    I don't know why but it's the same way for me. Except it is only one band that puts me to sleep, Five Finger Death Punch.

    Whatever music a person likes will be the most relaxing for them.
