FWIW even in my metal days I recognized that the kind of (mostly black) metal that I enjoyed was fairly close to some of my brother's techno that I happened liking. All those droning guitars, layers of synth and screeching vocals are, experience-wise, quite similar to a deep techno DJ set. A music to work to, rather than to analyze -- I guess that's the value I find in it.

Also, I don't listen to hardcore / horror core techno much, but I find it striking how the artists adopt the imagery and themes that I would traditionally associate with metal: horrors, monsters, final battles for future of humanity, etc.

"Infected Mushroom - Becoming Insane" got me from mostly metal into psytrance.
