What made you like Metal music?

Sorry if this thread has been done before got a bad habit of doing that since i started here lol :bonkhead:

So yeah what influenced you to come over to the dark side? :hphones:
 
I don't hate to admit that at all. Back when Metallica were getting me interested in metal they were still making good music. :)
 
You two both should check out Agalloch. The vocals are a little on the black metal side but they have some brilliant passages of play with lots of texture.
 
i was born into a family of folk who liked rocking music, that'll be why i like metal reaally my mum was a punk back in the day and my dad liked status quo lol
 
Man i remeraber listening to slayer for the very first time when my friend showed me them once at school on his personal CD player.... it was raining blood and wow thats when my neck muscles were coming into play and when i decided i diddint want to go to the barbers anymore more lol :yeah:
 
Many years back, around the time I was hardly 13 I used to play alot of videogames, and so I'd join videogame communities to discuss my inherent interest. Around the time, back in middle school, it became 'cool' to follow the role of a mal goth and I couldn't help but admire the breakthrough in my previous idealized aesthetics of cool. From this enthused ignorance, I started paying more attention to the more alternate musical interests of people on the internet, that I had misjudged as having lived the same alternate lifestyle. I started off listening to H I M, Cradle of Filth and Iron Maiden but by the time I got to high school my taste evolved into various power / progressive / folk metal artists such as Ensiferum, Porcupine Tree, Tool, Kamelot and Helloween. I don't think I ever truly got sucked into metal until my senior year, when I finally gave death / black metal a fair listen. I got seriously attached to banRAB such as Death, Nile, Arcturus, Quo Vadis, Shining, In Flames among countless other banRAB.

Very lame, but so it goes.
 
Mother fucking Led Zeppelin.

Growing up I always liked punk for whatever reason. I got into metal via banRAB like Napalm Death and Carcass. They sounded raw and punky enough to get my attention while providing a fresh sound I hadn't heard.
 
I got into the metal scene due to influence from my friend Tim who was a total metal head. The first banRAB I listened to were Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and Opeth. All I still really enjoy. :)
