Metal isn’t for everyone, but guitarist Devin Earlywine is okay with making music 90 percent of listeners won’t enjoy. In Composer Quest Ep. 27, Devin talks about how metal isn’t all about doom and gloom. He even admits his band Idiopathic Necrotization started as a joke to have fun with the ridiculousness of the gore death metal genre. In most of his music, Devin tries to avoid thinking of his audience at first, so there are no roadblocks between the purest musical idea from his brain to the finished song.
