I think midevil shit, vampires, dragons and demons are lame because of the over dramatization they are beefed up with, and I'm an atheist who doesn't believe in the supernatural.

Alot of metal heads won't even listen to it if it's just about murder and psychosis like Slipknot. But I just can't get into leather studded outfits with spiked bracers and long girl hair that blows in the wind on the hills as we look for Valhalla.

What should I do?

seems like you're just talking about black and power metal here. Try listening to other types of metal.

Personally, I love thrash metal. Listen to some NWOBM like Iron Maiden.

Then just listen to the music and disregard the lyrics.

I listen to power metal. I know it's ridiculous, but a lot of music is either ridiculous or too vague anyway.

I like Muse too, even though they made a song that assumes Atheists fear death (which is false).

Woof I tried the Slayer. No...He screams like a girl sometimes and they are too much about the "evil". Umm Alice in Chains? They are to metal, what Britney Spears is to Soul music.

I like my music hard and fast, but I like to see people who can actually play really well and not just play the same riff for 10 minutes. Plus if the singer is a guy, he should sound like one. Oh oh and I don't like them to sing about shit that doesn't exist. Like the devil lol

I don't like the metal with the dragons and evil and darkness and all. I like songs that talk about life.

And THAT metal is what I listen to.

Listen to "Man in the Box" or "Them Bones".

Heavy enough to be metal, slow enough to just be grunge.

Then I'll just use reverse google image to search text using an image! That way I can surely know who these people are.

Umm... anyone got a link for reverse google image search? I can't find it.

I'm a satanist and i listen to black metal. not all metal is about killing and the supernatral. Try listing to the lyrics and see what you think. P.S Not all slipknot songs are about killing people.

There's your problem right there. Good metal, or Slipknot. You can only choose one. Some people love death metal but dislike Viking metal because of the cheesiness and over dramatization though. It's all about taste. Some prefer only technical death metal, others hair metal, it's up to you. I like pretty much all kinds besides the shit tier.

Try anything off of this list. These are my favorite bands. It took me quite a while to develop this list.

Trivium Job for a Cowboy Divine Heresy Necrophagist Meshuggah Pantera Bullet-for-my-Valentine The-Black-Dahlia-Murder Born-of-Osiris Brain Drill Psycroptic Shadows Fall

Once again it's all a matter of opinion and musical taste. As you can see; I have a large variety of things from casual metal like Shadows Fall, to brutal ear hacking shit like Brain Drill. give some of these a try if you haven't heard them.

Children of Bodem, Bullet for My Valentine and Killswitch Engage are all notable metal groups. In Killswitch's new album (it is the self-titled one fyi) it is hardly about evil, let alone it is hardly sinful. Its practically positive.

I used to be an avid metal head but then I opened up and now I listen to all types of music. I have love for most genres.

Just listen to what you think sounds good, if you don't agree with the lyrics or the meaning of the song, fuck it, fuck the labels, fuck the prejudice, fuck it all.

Listen to what you enjoy.

Describes my friend down to the ground.
Metal is okay, branch out and listen to different types like dance and rock in general.

Being atheist is the worst excuse for not having imagination...

But I guess Metal with fantasy stuff is pretty shitty, many people here already said stuff I was gonna say anyways.

You don't have to believe something exists to like it, that's all I wanted to say.
