I would also like to further my comments by stating that metal has always been about rebellion, defiance, truth seeking and danger. IMO the best representative of this attitude has always been the albums that explore those kind of concepts that are not controversial, blasphemous, decadent or joyous. No, I think the albums that are truly dangerous are the ones that lift the spirits of the downtrodden, tell the exceptionally thinking individual how magical it is to be a part of what few others understand. I think you can see my meaning if you've dug a little deeper to see what so many of the greats keep repeating. I have a book on secret societies and they all seem to have one thing in common and it was that they were trying to pass on some knowledge that was hard earned from the start. The really dangerous are out there trying to do the same thing. Metal in general achieves this and for that reason I thin it is the last actual music is form and function left on Earth and may be one of the only Pure things left of that sort of thing. I take very great comfort in knowing that I learn a little more how to touch the essence of humanity despite how much opposition to this idea society drifts from it. Every time I list to a great metal album written from an illuminated source, I'm doing exactly what life is intended for, which IMO is to learn and connect with and from those who have discovered something you haven't to that end of the means. This will make sense to some and not so much others. Metal typically tells the same story with different characters and the beauty of it all is how cohesive and all-inclusive it is. Believe it or not a band like Labyrinth and a band like Akercocke are so similar in their aims and way of thinking but they ar expressing the way they feel in two different ways. It can be for anyone when they find the way all I have been writing about is expressed. That's when you discover how magical metal can be, when you find the ones making it exactly the way it needs to be said to make you realize these similarities.
