Hi all, and welcome to my listening room, a (potentially/hopefully) weekly column on what my listening habits have been throughout the week and hopefully a good way to direct our viewers to what I think is the best new music around, as well as maybe some other bands that might have been missed by some. This wasnโt my idea to do, but as someone who loves discovering, learning and listening to new things I feel this is a perfect outlet for me to talk about the stuff I love, mainly because whenever I try to speak passionately about the music I love, aside from a specific few people, my passion goes straight over their heads and I end up feeling like a plum!
OPINION PIECE: SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE IN METAL/ROCK JOURNALISM
The media outlets will argue, well we post and write about this stuff because thatโs what people engage with, but itโs almost all negative, whether it is people arguing over whether Sleep Token is the next big thing, how much they hate the latest Ghost single, or a falling out between the members of Journey. ย But this negative content is pretty much all they write about, and itโs to win at algorithms and not contribute anything substantial to heavy music, or even the debate. They pander to the angry, not the interested.
