Go listen to Thousand Foot Krutch, they're ot really metal I think..but I like them a lot.
And since you like the bands, I like you should give it a try

The Human Abstract
Protest the Hero
Arsis
Mark Rizzo

Those have been getting a lot of my listening time lately

Unfortunately, I find this form of music to be barbaric and disturbing.

bar·bar·ic/bärˈbarik/Adjective
1. Savagely cruel; exceedingly brutal.
2. Primitive; unsophisticated.

1: Yeah, I can agree with that
2: Not a chance

disturbing: I can see that too with some bands/songs

But overall a pretty gross oversimplification and generalization of a very broad and diverse genre.

Indeed. There was nothing vulgar or barbaric about Dio for a prime example. Yet he was left with the stigma of the high-browed and un-educated.

It is simply a preference. I don't enjoy listening to rock, metal, etc. I prefer classical.
