Have Heart - Bostons

I think the easiest way to get into broader music is not to quit, no skipping around, no stopping halfway through, you appreciate music when you give it time to digest in your mind. Before I decide if I don’t like something, I make sure I’ve listened to a minimum of at least 7 songs, either in one full sitting or mixed into my usual stuff, one shuffled in during every day of the week. That’s for a completely new genre, while more similar stuff I’ll sit down and listen to an album in its entirety before coming to a conclusion.

I’ve naturally gravitated toward the heavier genres of music my entire life, I just find the expression and emotion present in furious guitar riffs and screams to work for me better than any singing can. Not to say I don’t appreciate other music, I was just in a musical; and my taste does reach outside the metal bubble. I can’t really provide an explanation, just a feeling honestly.

There’s a band that blends orchestra and death metal, they’re all classically educated and have a dedicated pianist, might not be what you’re looking for, but they do a helluva job
