When Did It Become Metal?
Written for "Invalid Item"  , prompt: National Metal Day - Not musicThis is it, one more entry, and I'm all caught up, then I can go relax with some head-banging heavy metal music cranked up so high the speakers distort and my eyes go crossed! Actually, no. Well, yes, I'll be caught up, but no, I'll not be relaxing to metal; I'm not a fan of metal music, although there are some songs I like; not many, but there are some when the mood is right, that I can enjoy. Of course, that holds true with just about any type, or genre, of music. In looking further, I discovered that a lot of the music and bands I like are considered metal. I guess it's how a person classifies metal. In looking into metal bands (no, not rings) there are so many genres of metal and so many bands that fall into one category of metal or another that it starts to become confusing. For example, there's AC/DC, Steppenwolf, Nazareth, and Rush just to name a few that I grew up listening to. I guess I never gave it a lot of thought, it was just hard rock to me. When I think of metal I think of bands like Metallica, Korn, Megadeth, and Five Finger Death Punch. In writing this, I've learned a few things. Now, I have to say I enjoy a lot of metal music, but there's a lot I dislike as well. Who would have guessed it... A proud member of "Invalid Item" "Reading soothes the soul, writing sets it free."

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?"
"Writing is my passion."
