(sometimes the mind is like a tense muscle, which needs to be strained to the max, before it can be totally relaxed. speed metal music is good for this purpose..)

i've actually come across a lot of people who say that metal music in general can relax them. i myself can fall asleep listening to metal. feel the beat and let the music drive you through itself.

with 8 years of metal under my belt, i have to say this is the greatest metal band that ever walked the earth:

http://www.myspace.com/meshuggah

they are truely on a different level than most musicians, let alone the metal genre. they demonstrate the ancient math very well. the guitars are almost never in common 4/4 time, meshuggah is known for their highly complex rhythms and time signatures. BUT they make poly-metric rhythms to pull it all together. (ex. guitars playing in 3s, drums playing in 4s ... 3333 (3 x 4) = (4 x 3) 444) it's a little hard to explain but the song 'bleed' would be a good listen to see what i'm talking about.

oh, another note i'd like to add.
everyone in my band, and others that i've proposed the theory to believe that the members of meshuggah are aliens. !
listen to the music or watch them live and see why i believe.
