I myself wanted to become a metal screamo. The only thing I didn't understand was, why so many tracks stay in misery and won't look beyond. Then I became a visual storyteller where I have a chance to decide where to go with it.Metal has potential for hope but don't use it in full

On the other side, King David was a guy who was some time lost, discouraged, hopelessness, as well but he knew where he was built on. He was built on the mighty God. And meditating in this suffering in these psalms brought healing. Maybe he is THE metal pioneer afterall.
