Metal helps fans in emotional regulation:
"A 2015 study from the University of Queensland, Brisbane assessed how extreme music affected anger processing ... Participants reported feeling positive and “inspired” during and after the metal sesh. The authors posit that intense music could provide an outlet for tough feelings rather than being their genesis."
