Death metal is a style of music that people either love or hate. Some enjoy its loud and intense energy, while others find the screaming too much. But why do some people connect with it so deeply?
Philosopher Schopenhauer believed music expresses deep feelings that words can’t. Composer Wagner used screaming in his operas to show powerful emotions like fear or joy. He believed screams are universal but should be used at the right moment for impact.
Psychologists say screaming can raise stress and heart rates. However, for death metal fans, it often feels exciting, empowering, and even calming—like releasing bottled-up emotions. Whether you enjoy it depends on how you interpret it: painful or freeing. For many, it’s more than noise—it’s emotional expression at its most raw and honest.
