Armaan Malik on importance of music healing mental health

Most musicians suffer from depression 😆

I think heavy metal or rock songs actually provide that cathartic release for intense and negative feelings. I really do think that they help some people purge their anger with powerful music that deal with dark and overwhelming themes.

This is a great point. I don't usually listen to metal, but I'm a big music connoisseur so one day when I was studying I decided to check out some DEATH Metal and I just felt like I could concentrate so well with it on in the background. I aced those exams too,

Music is therapy for me.

You listen to heavy metal ? Very heavy metal ? Heavier than the old metal 🤣🤣

But all jokes aside ? Any particular band ?

Congrats for killing those exams. 😆 Very possible the background music was helping you drown out the noise within.

I can't listen to full death metal without feeling like someone's dying. LOL but on days I feel like the universe is out to get me, listening to Guns n Roses, KillSwitch (some of them, not all) and Led Zeppelin make me feel like ahhh ...yeah at least SOMETHING matches my emotional state.😆 Keeps me pumped while working out too cuz that's the only time I listen to music.

Someone introduced Killswitch Engage to me and I blast it sometimes. That's the "craziest" it gets, so there's no need to laugh.😆

That heavy metal comment was something I saw on a sitcom an just had to pass it on 😆

But really which bands. Cause rock music (certain songs) are actually very cleansing.

Well that's why I listen to kpop. It's healing music. Bollywood music sucks although there are some exceptions.

You are a wise soul ❤️

For me, my workout playlists I go for Janet Jackson and Beyoncé remixes. I remember teaching my mum how to twerque lmao.

The Death Metal phase was nuts. I can't even listen to regular Metal now, it just feels like Pussy Metal. I need to hear about skulls cracking for it to be meaningful.

Otherwise I'll stick to my Talat Mahmood ghazals <3
