“Many headbangers are much more conservative, which really surprises me,” he said. Cazares goes on to say that “everyone is tuned in to movements like #MeToo, racism and sexism” and he agrees with everything, as long as “it’s safe”.

He continues: “Look at Cannibal Corpse ; they’re fine with songs like ‘Fucked With a Knife’ and ‘Butchered at Birth.’ They still get away with it because what they do is considered kind of a fantasy, and they’re kind of the grandfathers of it. But nowadays you can’t say much on the internet or people will attack you. And that’s where I see conservatism.”
