"Here we stand, on the precipice of the unknown. As we all prepare to cross the Rubicon from school responsibilities to taxes and jobs, one thing holds true. We must be the best. Thousands of ancestors put us here to make the world better for the next generation, every time. And while some may have forgotten that, it comes down to each of us to take the wheel at some point and make the same hard decisions, even when they dress up as different problems. For this next graduating class, make the most. Shape it to be the Better Place you want to see.
And during that documentary (which no one was able to replicate) he was essentially an alcoholic, which is the real reason his liver enzymes were elevated and is statistically a much greater contributor to poor health than McDonalds.
A lot of these are anger or high energy. What about when you’re hungover and it’s early in the morning? I went to a metal festival once and was woken up by Skindred - Nobody at about 8am. I don’t want metal in the morning! I want something safe and slow. Give me Journey or Snow Patrol.
What about some Doom like Khemmis, Neurosis, Windhand, Monolord? Low energy like Devin Townsend’s “Ocean Machine” Melodic and melancholic like Leprous Or progressive like Wheel
So, this is gonna sound weird, but I actually find a lot of these bands calming to listen to. I’m autistic, and have a lot of weird sensory issues because of it, so music that’s too simple (a lot of pop or punk or other genres that show up on the radio usually) doesn’t fully grab my attention. Like, there’s not enough happening at once for me to feel immersed in it.
So I’ll end up listening to Power Metal to fall asleep sometimes because I can hear every instrument individually, and my brain switches focus to each one at random times, and it’s stimulating enough that I can be completely distracted from my other senses and calm down. Dragonforce is my go-to because they even have two lead guitarists at the same time.
That said, I do have songs of every genre in my library, and if I do want something slower or simpler, there’s a ton of Metal ballads that aren’t necessarily high energy. Try something like Crimson Day by Avenged Sevenfold, Remembrance Day or Trail of Broken Hearts by Dragonforce, Christmas Truce by Sabaton, or Mother Gaia by Stradivarius.
There’s a lot more examples, but you can certainly have slow, calm metal. I could probably make a decent sized playlist
Korpiklaaani’s cover of Ievan Polkka goes absolutely insanely hard

Creating this list I noticed, that many songs and bands fit multiple moods, which kind of made it hard for me to öin down which emotion I would assign them lol
LOL, I guess that’s fitting for some of his songs! If you listen to others like “ieuD” it’s more on the Metal side, but they always keep you guessing whatever they may come up with next
