  Heavy metal music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whereas a painting is experienced visually, a symphony experienced audibly, a heavy metal band's "image" and the common theme that binds all their music is expressed in the artwork on the album, the set of the stage, the tone of the lyrics, in addition to the sound of the music.

 History of Heavy Metal Music and the Metal Subculture
Metal's belief system is closer to this than to any modern equivalent, thus it is sensible to posit a closure of the cycle and its renewal in the ideas gestured by heavy metal music.
Music could be more aesthetically distant from conventional rock and pop, and unlike music which needed to be sold in stores which had to respond to complaints from potentially offended customers, could embrace any topic or aesthetic it wanted (interestingly, it was this development that also fueled the rise of political music of various extremes).
Music, literature, and art are howling out the theme of the importance of every point of view, especially those where the position of the individual determines what its values should be, and the result is a cacophony of voices that have divided the art market according to the background and political preferences of the buyer.

Stack and colleagues (1994) have argued that heavy metal music reflects and possibly nurtures suicidogenic alienation, despair, and hopelessness among members of the heavy metal subculture.
If preference for heavy metal music indeed reflects preexisting maladaptive beliefs or characteristics, the question can be raised as to whether listening to this music "helps" or "hurts," particularly since adolescents often turn to music in times of stress (e.g., Kurdek, 1987).
