Last night Republican nominee Donald Trump beat out Democrat Hillary Clinton in the race to become the USA’s 45th President, and the decision truly shocked the world. No one saw it coming. No one thought it was possible, yet it quickly became a reality in front of our eyes. Just like many of us, many members of the rock and metal community were stunned by the results, and you can see some of the honest reactions below.

I'm disgusted.
