To be honest im not sure although Give me novacaine used to really allow me to wallow in depression.

No I dont think so but you can identify with certain lyrics and also in your experience, this music brings up memories of a bad time in your life.
It's up to you whether you use the music and memory as a good thing ie you overcame those feelings and are still going, or whether the songs will just drag you back down...
If that made any sense at all...

No one can you make you do anything. This band may have songs that have words in it that affect you though. For example, I hear a certain song and it reminds me of my mum but it dosnt make me want to kill myself, just makes me cry

i find that with certain songs, that they trigger memorys or emotions within me
and i used to listen to Eminem alot, when i was angry, and if i listen to it now i get those feeling back
i dont think its the band that drives you to it
its what u associate with it

definately can have an influence on your decicion, music plays with the emotions, doesnt it.

just keep the cd but dont listen to it. i got songs like that, ones i had on when i tried to kill myself. i hate them as well and if the come on the radio when im at work i fcking hate it.

Brokens right. Certain songs can trigger feelings, happy or bad. I think you should throw the CD out and get yourself a new band to represent you as a newer happier person.

I dont think so but if they make you think bad or suicidal thoughts I definetly would get rid of it..

All the stuff that comes out as a result of anything outside of you are already inside you. If you give your full attention to what is happening inside when you listen to that music and not judge or entertain what comes up, listening to that music could be your cure. Just remember that the past only now exist in your imagination. You can't change what happened in the past, but we tend to change what our memory is of those events. That is the danger, if we fail to see it.

I don't think the band/music can, but the memories / emotions it can trigger may get you more suscipble.

what band?

You drive yourself to suicide, not a band or music. If it's Type O you're talking about, I'll take the cd's. JK. If they trigger you, listen to something else, by all means. Godsmack and Tool are good, and not as dark as Type O.

Personally, if I thought a band's music was making me feel bad, or dredging up bad emotions, in the old sink hole they'd go! Or if that feels wrong, give it to a friend who can at some future happier time make a copy for you.
