Is heavy metal or rock music just noise? If you ask us Finns, you'll get probably a BIG NO as an answer.
In Finland we have this thing called heavy metal - like plenty of other countries have it too - but... We have most metal bands per capita in the whole World /,,/
We also have sayings like "hevi puhdistaa" and "hevi parantaa" that could be translated "heavy music/metal purifies" and "heavy music heals".
I believe above sayings to be true, because of my personal experience and because the science. It's a well known fact that music can heal you and it can reduce your depression, anxiety and even chronic pain.
Are you ready to give a metal music a chance and listen at least the song Ghost Love Score by Nightwish? Get ready for an emotional roller coaster!
And I certainly would like to hear your thoughts, especially if you haven't ever before listened rock/heavy music :)
