Metal fans of Hexus, I need your help...
For reasons too long and dull to go into here, the past few weeks have been pretty bad for me - been feeling overly anxious and panicky and trying my best to keep calm.
I've even gone as far as aquiring some (don't laugh) ambient aural soundscapes, sea sounds, rainforest etc to try and keep my calm, and they worked to a certain extent.
However, yesterday quite by accident, my itunes playlist decided to serve me up The Berzerker's cover of Carcass' "Corporal Jigsore Quandary" and, in an insane way that I just can't describe in words, I felt immediately better. Seriously, it would have freaked me out if it hadn't had such a positive effect on me. So yesterday, I was blasting out the Berzerker's albums and "Serpents of the light" by Deicide at top volume and I really felt the best I've felt in the past few weeks. It sounds stupid, but the effect was almost magical.
Basically, I'm now looking for some fantastic thumping screaming death/thrash type metal to listen to, to "help me on my way to recovery".
So, recommend me some CDs to buy. It doesn't have to be original, and I'm not really looking for anything avant-garde or 'challenging', just something that gets the adrenaline going.
Actually, I know it's not really thrash or death metal, but I may give some RATM a try tonight as well
