Music can be therapeutic in painful times, so makes sense people are turning to streaming services.
I just noticed on Pandora that one of my favorite bands (Draconian) has released their new album a day early (Under a Godless Veil), and I bought a digital copy for $10.
Lots of metal bands are releasing albums around now. Dark Tranquillity with Phantom Days, Paradise Lost with Obsidian, and now Draconian with Under a Godless Veil, it's a good time to be a metalhead.
Thing is though, I know that these artists are releasing this music because they're being especially inspired by the incredible misery in the world right now. Metal has always been therapeutic for the miserable, so I suppose it fits.
