09.02.13 | I just felt like I needed to make this list, personally.
Music is such an important thing for so many reasons. |

09.02.13 | Thanks tommy.
The whole 'Sputnik changed my life' line really does apply.
@Gian thanks. |

09.02.13 | music is life man music will always be your friend

BigPleb
09.02.13 | It's hard to write something like this without coming across as sarcastic. |

09.02.13 | i have been meaning to check out cult of luna for about the last 8 or 9 years and have still not listened to a note of their music. Damn my procrastination |
BigPleb
09.02.13 | Oh sweet kman, need to check that.
@Moose I hugely recommend them, obviously. |
GiaNXGX
09.02.13 | get back from the discomfort |

09.02.13 | I wanna hear 2 again now, cool I guess. |

09.02.13 | Converge's Jane Doe has helped me deal with numerous family deaths, and Poison the Well's The Opposite of December helped me deal with friends passing away. Though, to cope with my depression and anxiety, I listen to post-metal and screamo heavily, particularly Rosetta and Daitro. |
BigPleb
09.02.13 | Damn dude, that's real heavy :/ |
JustinKing
09.02.13 | The most fucked up moment of my life tied to music was when a friend committed suicide. When I found out, I was on the final track of Moneen's The Red Tree, The Song I Swore to Never Sing. As soon as I was told he died, I heard the lyric, "Kill yourself, surprise your friends. Raise a toast to everything we once had." I cannot bring myself to ever listen to that song again, no matter how hard I try. |
BigPleb
09.02.13 | That's really twisted man, awful :( |
JustinKing
09.02.13 | But no matter what, I find a catharsis. I scream, I play guitar, I sing, I compose, I listen. I may be depressed, but I'll always be productive. |
BigPleb
09.02.13 | Similar to me man, except I can't do half those things. |
tommygun
09.02.13 | damn sorry to hear that justin bro |
JustinKing
09.02.13 | Ever since my grandmother died (I was one of those kids that visited their grandparents EVERY weekend and EVERY summer because it was basically a second home to me), my family kinda fell apart, so naturally, I got angry. I picked up screaming vocals about seven years ago, and then I needed to do something I felt created more than it destroyed, so I picked up guitar a year later. And so on and so forth to lead me where I am today. |
JustinKing
09.02.13 | Thanks, Tommy. |

09.02.13 | That's fucking rough Justin, and Lebowski it's good to know you're keeping strong dude. The worst moment of my life was when my friend died of cancer a couple years back, music helped me through it of course. |
BigPleb
09.02.13 | Sweet man, very proud achievements m/ |
JustinKing
09.02.13 | I'm sorry to hear that, Rowan. Music is what I've dedicated my life to. My goal in life is to change the life of one person the way Converge or Poison the Well have mine. |
Rowan5215
09.02.13 | Thanks man. That's good to hear, music should be made for the right reasons and not just money-grabbing I think. Got anything recorded you could send my way? |
JustinKing
09.02.13 | We've got an EP recorded, but I'm not too proud of it. We are recording a full-length soon, though, that has a lot more care and time put in it. I'm actually going to be able to put my emotion into it, because we're finally self-recording, so we aren't pushed for time so that we can put every single intricacy we want layered in. |
Rowan5215
09.02.13 | Fair enough, what style is it (gonna be) in? I'll gladly give it a listen when it's done. |
JustinKing
09.02.13 | Primarily metalcore with some post-metal and black metal elements. A lot of clean interludes and buildups, with several instrumental tracks. I'm doing guitar and all clean vocals for it, with the occasional backing scream. |
tommygun
09.02.13 | hard feels itt |
Rowan5215
09.02.13 | That sounds sweet Justin, definitely drop me a line when it's done. |
JustinKing
09.02.13 | Will do, man. Thank you for the support, and I'll always be around if you have anything you need to get off your chest, mate. |
BigPleb
09.02.13 | Sounds cool.
There were 3 of these lists on the home page haha. |
Rowan5215
09.02.13 | Thanks Justin man, I appreciate it. |

09.02.13 | Anxiety and depression suck. I had a phase in my life years ago where it got pretty bad. Music helped alot. Getting a little older and wiser helped too.
I love SATH. Have never listened to Rinoa. |
avonbarksdale221
09.02.13 | So many feelings in this thread. Glad you're feeling better Leb, and best wishes to anyone else who is feeling down. Just try to be the best person you can, and I can pretty much guarantee you life will improve.

09.02.13 | We are in it together bud.
Give em a go man, think you'd dig. |
Kman418
09.02.13 | well schools starting for me tomorrow so hopefully that'll be enough of a change to get me out of the slump i'm in i guess |
BigPleb
09.09.13 | Forgot this list existed, kinda embarrassed lol |
JokineAugustus
09.09.13 | I missed it. Good job pushing through the shit that life can be. Surprised no In Utero though :D |
BigPleb
09.09.13 | That album goes deeper than anything I could write in here tbh dude. |
evilford
09.16.13 | I know what you're saying pleb. I've had some experiences in my life that left me extremely anxious, sad, mad, etc, and music really helps.
also, you may have an anxiety disorder. I know I do. just randomly get chest-crushing feelings of pure unavoidable doom. really sucks sometimes.
if I made this list, my two albums would be dark side of the moon, and symbolic. :P
tommy's right tho, as cheesy as it sounds, music will always be your friend. until you go deaf, which is when I'll prob off myself. |
