You see, I&#8217;m often torn between writing heavy-as-fuck, brutal, angry songs and writing catchy, infectious songs.  I try to balance the two within Spitting Angels (not songs about raping and murdering or writing &#8216;pop&#8217; rubbish songs about holding hands and taking care of the elderly though) but I think my main goal in songcrafting is getting people to confront their inner selves and negative aspects so they can conquer them and grow in a positive direction.
