They also come off devilish.

I also find this more interesting compared to most of your metal music.
A lot of it is disharmonious and chaotic which shouldn't be pleasant to the ear.
The famous complaint of Emperor Joseph II about The Marriage of Figaro - "too many notes, Mozart"
1737, by one-time Bach pupil JA Scheibe: "[Bach] would be the admiration of whole nations if he had more amiability, if he did not take away the natural element in his pieces by giving them a turgid and confused style, and if he did not darken their beauty by an excess of art."
That is not music. That is garbage. There seems to not only be a decay in musical talent but even moral degradation with a lot of the latest acts.
An Associated Press article reported that on Sunday, December 2, 1956, The Rev. Carl Elgena told his Des Moines, Iowa, congregation that “Elvis Presley is morally insane” and “by his actions he’s leading other young people to the same end.” He warned the over 800 members in the pews of the Grand View Park Baptist Church that “the belief of unholy pleasure has sent the morals of our nation down to rock bottom and the crowning addition to this day’s corruption is Elvis Presleyism.” Holding up magazine pictures and articles depicting some of the singer’s alleged actions, the minister declared, “When I was a boy, if a person had done things like this, he would have found himself in jail.”

I think we can all agree that the more technical and sophisticated the art is the better.

You say the Mona Lisa is simple? Ok, go ahead and paint a copy of one.

When you buy because of your emotions or bias, that does not justify the mortality or the talent of the production. It justifies the creator's decision to make money. That's all.
