Death metal music inspires joy not violence

We did once informal study among friends comparing heart rate in rest and taste in music. Those with low heart rate favored faster tempo and those with fastest heartbeat favored slowest tempo.

(Age and cardiovascular fitness matter more, but tt the time we were all young and relatively fit).

Are you also considering an analogy: those with innate capacities for violence tend to favor an aesthetic or desire of joy or peace?

It's not 100% true, but I find that it tends to be.

Possibly, but some, though willing to aggress on others, quickly cowar at any actual sign of violence.

So heavy metal brings joy, but Nazis and psychopaths love classical music at least in the movies.

I was just speaking to inherent ability for violence, not morality.
