Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system?

Here is some heavy metal played on a vintage system:

My former, much more contemporary system of SME/Pass/Magico did not present this music in nearly as convincing a manner.

Yes. 
Try “Nail” or “Hole” by Scraping Fetus Off the Wheel.

agree with you a trillion percent. A lot of audiophiles are not actually music lovers. Ignorant to assume? Maybe…do I believe it to be absolutely true? Yes. 
One of the things that makes metal so great nowadays is how well the production is. Makes you all warm in your tummy tum;)

ANYONE LOOKING TO HEAR ONE HELL OF A BRAND NEW “METAL” ALBUM SHOULD CHECK OUT SLEEP TOKEN’s NEW ALBUM.

I'd say all types of music benefit from hi-fi.

Look, one of the great things about hi-fi is, when listening to a live album from any genre, I'm even captivated by the sound of the crowd.

That's not the case listening to MP3s or  cassettes back in the day.

I could not agree with Miller Carbon more (understanding there is a 50% chance you are being sardonic).

I like metal but its not my every day go to. I listen to EVERYTHING.

I have bought, borrowed, or stole +/- 50 vinyl albums in the past 12 months with my new system.

My three best sounding records that I would use to illustrate the difference of a $10k 2-channel system vs. my friends Bose home theater:
1. Metallica, 2. Notorious BIG (gift from my kids), and 3. Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust.

Whoops - did I just uncork the rap debate?
