Review of Friday Night At Epiphany's

A well constructed essay with interview tape and music about a young woman's "encounter" with heavy metal/ hardcore/ punk music. The producer gets inside these labels and offers some revealing insights. Some great tape, especially Josh, lead singer from the band Millenium Travesty, recreating the growls and grunts he makes on stage. The first growl is particulalry memorable - that was his own voice making that reverb?
At the end of the piece the producer talks about a feeling of emptiness from leaving an old life behind ... and there was a kind of heaviness to that comment that was hinted at earlier in the piece, but I never understood or got much "information" on this bigger, darker context and I was left wondering....
