This great column just appeared in the New York Times:

Not only does it highlight how one man has found metal to be a saving grace during a difficult time, but it also shows us how many people are unaware of what metal music can offer.

I liked the fact that this writer was previously a non-metal fan, and suddenly he "gets it".

The emotions in metal music span rage, anger, aggression, hedonism, determination, desire, power, chaos, sorrow, joy, and innumerable other words. Until you tap into the emotional power of metal music, you won't understand its appeal. And once you do - there's no going back!
