For decades rock and metal have battled for understanding and acceptance and the struggle continues through the modern day as bands still face bans in countries.
There's a great band from Sweden called Sabaton, and I really love this band. They sing about history and wars, and they put on one hell of a show. I have some video from their show at the Intersection from last year below. They also drink, like you'd expect a Swedish band to do.
They drink a lot.
