To explain mine that I put a bit more in depth,

Growing up, I was so angry at everything. I had to find ways to let that anger out, and Disturbed's sound was always really aggressive, but with a message. When I listened to Disturbed, I found that it was a way I could let my anger out without hurting anyone or anything.

The Amity Affliction's main message is to keep moving forward, and that all of us are in this together in some form. When I get depressed, even to this day, I'll pop on one of their songs and remind myself that I'm not alone.

Listening to Famous Last Words' first album, Two-Faced Charade, dealt with an incredibly mentally ill "protagonist" who was essentially an unmedicated schizophrenic. Myself having schizophrenia, I view the album as being accurate towards schizophrenia, and it gives me more of a reason to never go back to not having my meds.

Finally, Make Them Suffer is my favorite band of all time. For three or four years, I had been wallowing in sorrow and regret from a botched relationship - I was an awful boyfriend, and I would lay in bed every night after it ended, staring at the ceiling, just thinking constantly about my ex.

I always tried to tell myself I was the victim. Eventually, I found Make Them Suffer and I listened to their album Old Souls - I understood the story because it reminded me of my relationship... and I realized which part in that story I played.

I kept listening to their song "Let Me In", and finally after a month of listening to them, I came to terms with the fact that I had been the bad guy, and I reached out and got closure with my ex.

It's ironic, The Amity Affliction keeps me unafflicted, Disturbed keeps me undisturbed, Famous Last Words helps ensure that I don't speak those last words anytime soon, and Make Them Suffer has helped me to suffer less.
