[breeding death]

The first death metal band i've got into was Arch Enemy, I still like the old cd's very much
I dont like Gossow

 

[Cerulean]

I don't like Gossow either.
I downright hate the Gossow hype

 

[Divatkreació]

First there were some crappy trend bands and after that stuff i started to listen to stuff from 70's like Led Zeppelin. Then came Sentenced and Metallica.

 

[T-Rat]

[TrailofDeath]

Not considered metal by some standards, but my brother picked up Fear Factory's Soul of a New Machine when it was released. And on and on and on......

 

[biggsy]

system of a down... when i was 8 my brother played there first albu to me and i really liked it. after that someone put me onto porcupine tree after i told them i didnt mind prog rock so got that and heard about the link between SW and mikael akerfeldt. got opeth and havent looked back since

 

[sparrowsblood]

I first liked old Iron maiden, and then got into a few others like, Flotsam and Jetsam and metallica. does anyone remember Coroner? Coroner really made me a metal fan...

I started listening to Morbid Angel tracks on the year 2000 that was cos of a guy I felt in love with and who was mad about them. I didn't like it the first time but after listening to some other band such as Carcass, Cryptopsy and Kitty I also felt in love with the death metal. I cannot stop looking for new bands and spending all my money to buy CD's.
This new interest has developped and I became also interested in guitar, so I bought my first guitar a year ago and I started playing on my own.
Death metal has changed my life cos it brought me peace (I'm not joking) and it had maked me more self reliant.
Now I'm still interested in Morbid Angel but I had also discovered other bands such as Hammerhage, Dying Foetus, Carcarias, At the Gates, Skinless, Illieposed...

Metal is my life, take it and I will die.
...eat smoke and grind

(I was about 13) then on to the good shit, old Entombed (first 3 albums) Carcass, Death, Nocturnus, Obituary, Morbid Angel, Bolt Thrower, Pestilence, old Sepultura was good, Master, Malevolent Creation. My Dying Bride, Cannibal Corpse, and Pungent Stench ! bands like Opeth, Dan Swano projects, and Hypocrisy I did'nt get in to intil about 1998...8 or 9 years ago ! I know some of you guys are my age and a know alot of you are younger, I just want to say thanks to your generation for helping keep death and metal in general alive ! stay sick mother fuckers (this was for you death chicks too )

I dont really remember exacly how but I guess my musical journey started with Queensryche with the purchase of Empire from a used CD store. I explored many bands over the net, went through a 2 month rap phase and a nu-metal phase. I then found a Dream Theater CD my dad had(Train of Thought) and liked the "heavy" aspect of it so I went through my Dream Theater phase and on to symphony X. Then a member of my band called my attention to Dimmu and I guess thats where the real metal intrest began leading me here listening to many of the bands listed. ohhh and in response to Flal no I never liked slipknot and im 18.

wow reading this over....I'm very new to metal haha, but I'm finding more each day so I guess thats a good thing.
