I think “TV-Sick” by Lioh & The Garage Band (@Lioh) qualifies as heavy metal, though Lioh describes the genre as Crossover. The song is about the negative influence of modern media and the depiction of violence, and how that affects mental health.
“We should find ways to protect us against the bad habits of using the media to distract ourselves and instead focus more on doing things with our friends and beloved ones.” ~ Lioh
Great heavy rock song. Love it! Vote code CEPH

Haunting strings open “Oasis” by Accidental Mayhem (@whoosh) and are quickly joined by an equally haunting vocal.
