Abstract
Many studies have shown that music can be useful in improving
the quality of human life. In different types of music therapy, music may
help with emotional health, but it can also help patients cope with stress,
and boost psychological well-being. Verywell Mind claims that music
can: improve cognitive performance; reduce stress; make a person eat
less; improve memory; help manage pain; improve sleep quality; improve
motivation; improve mood; reduce the symptoms of depression, and also
that music can improve endurance and work performance. Heavy metal
is loud, aggressive and wild music, originating in the 1960s and early
1970s. Regarding Nietzsche’s theory of the balance between Dionysian
and Apollonian elements, heavy metal is a real art. Heavy metal is
uncompromising in its celebration of life (Dionysian), but it also contains
the Apollonian aspects of discipline and reason. Heavy metal is also highly
theatrical.
