I was listening to Iced Earth earlier today...to be exact the song Melancholy (Holy Martyr) and was touched by it kinda. I was wondering if any of you guys ever get that way over a song. I mean it doesn't have to be necessarily a sorrowful song it could be joy or excitement..etc.

Oh yeah, all the time. It is usually anger. It comes up whenever I listen to Judas Iscariot or anything of that sort. Never really anything sad or joyfull though lol.

Mmmh, yeah I have. There are actually quite a few songs, and usually the emotion is either depression or contempt.

ashlander_alpha Gravechylde All good music should do that. The whole purpose of art in any form is to evoke a specific emotion. Even abstract art. To each individual, if it fails to do that to an individual, then that piece of art doesn't suit them. If it evokes that emotion, it has served its purpose. They may get a different emotion than the artist intended, or than another person, but that's the thing about art, its open to interpretation.

Reverend Bizarre's Anywhere Out Of This World when the part "When I open my eyes..." starts playing. King Crimson's Epitaph, too.

ashlander_alpha Gravechylde All good music should do that. That's a redundant statement. And I wasn't referring to any one particular emotion. Just whatever the emotion happens to be, it should portray that. Sure not everyone is going to like it or fully relate to it, but you should still have some idea of the emotion that the artist is trying to portray.

Sure not everyone is going to like it or fully relate to it, but you should still have some idea of the emotion that the artist is trying to portray. As far as ambient, for the most part it has that calming mood to it. The artist intends for it to evoke that calming emotion, or as far as ambient black metal is concerned, that dark and evil mood. And a lot of experimental is pretty out there, but I believe the main emotion is that chaotic confusing feel that it tends to give off. Even if you don't get the emotion, it is still intended by the artist to get some sort of emotional response from somebody.

I don't think you can say one genre has one mood to it, even single bands themselves may portray many different emotions throughout the course of an album/song. To say that all Black Metal is very angry and satanic isn't quite true. Sure a lot/most of them are, but there's still plenty that aren't. For ambient, like warrior said, it can be anywhere from calming to outright disturbing and abrasive. For Avant-Garde/Experimental, just because it's shown in a complex way doesn't mean it isn't there.
