Hard-rock and heavy-metal isn’t elitist’s music, it’s the people’s music. The music of Camaros, pro sports events and streaming TV synchs. And in that way, as American as it gets, even if British bands like Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin invented these loud-and-proud genres. One thing’s for sure: Heavy music remains as vital as ever. The catharsis of these times demands music that can satiate the anger, the disillusionment, and the despair — or at least momentarily distract us from it. Of course, any genre of music or art can serve this function. But there’s something about heavy riffs and loud volumes that can invigorate the heart and mind during times of utter bleakness.
