Description

As with all of my writing, I find it therapeutic to express myself through words. Whenever I have come across negative energy, I try to release it in a productive way. Writing has always helped me to achieve that. It is the same whenever I have come across negative people as well. I like to write about them. I find that by the time I have completed a poem, the negative energy that I was feeling is gone. Replacing that negative energy is feelings of retribution, vindication, self-accomplishment, and positivity. Listening to music has always had a therapeutic value for me. I love dozens of genres of music from all over the globe. However, I am especially fond of the intensity that is found in Thrash Metal, Death Metal, and Doom Metal. The poems in this book contain various elements of these music styles. I am very fond of Metal music for its diversity, its technical ability, its graphic lyrics, and its uncompromising attitude. In this book, you will find elements of the extreme genres of Metal music. I am often told by people who have heard me recite my poetry, that they hear a Hardcore Rap or Horrorcore Hip-hop element in my writing along with the Metal one. I take this as a compliment. It does not surprise me at all that people say this because I have enjoyed both Horrorcore Hip-hop and Hardcore Rap since their inceptions. I have enjoyed the intensity of these genres of music for decades, it is only natural that they have bled into my writing style. These styles of music are intense, aggressive, unyielding and uncompromising. Much like the poetry in this book, the mentality of these music styles are without complaint, recoil or regret. I have selected the 41 poems for this republication because they have these similar themes: Metal lyrics, Empowerment, & Retribution.
