AHiG is fucking shit. Only Iowa holds some value, and some tracks on their debut album, the rest of Slipknot is cringeworthy.
Cool. Glad to read your story man and welcome. It's nice to hear that bands like Metallica slayer and death are still the light at the end of the tunnel for new metal fans, and that even metal core and nu metal can serve as effective gateways to the promised land.
I've wondered before what sort of path a young metal head these days would take. In my youth it was so simple. I liked rock, then ozzy/black sabbath, and then Metallica. A bit sad that the mainstream metal these days isn't what it once was, but this shows it still serves its purpose.

Being born right now is way better in my opinion, all the reissues and rare gems at our fingertips...
Why do I care if other people are taking advantage? As long as I am, I could care less what everybody else is doing.
Well more people taking advantage would mean more support for the artists, which would mean they stay together longer/have more funding for their new albums.
Eh, I'd say it's relative, no way there were as many supporters back then as there are now.

It's good to know that I'm not the only one who suffers from having a hard time getting used to new metal sub-genres. I thought I just wasn't made for this kind of music as I was trying to enjoy other bands but seems it tends to happen to most of you. The most you listen to it, the better it gets.
I was wondering what death metal band would you guys consider the most approachable one to get into this kind of metal? I was thinking of Death but I'm still not sure. However I'm already listening to Children Of Bodom and I'm having ear orgasms while listening to it, as far as I'm concerned it's pretty much melodic death metal so I'm not that sure, what do you guys think?

Black Waltz is a sick album. I was hooked on that album for a long time.
It depends which subgenres you are referring to. Most of them are a result of being influenced by the main genres (doom, thrash, black, death), so I guess a good starting point would be the pioneers of each genre.
As for an introduction to death metal, Death isnt a bad start. I would also check out Autopsy, Morbid Angel, Entombed, Bolt Thrower, Carcass, etc. Most of the older bands end up being some of the best in the genre, and will prepare your ears for more modern bands.
CoB is definitely a melodic death metal band, influenced by earlier artists such as At the Gates and In Flames. If you like CoB, definitely check out the earlier albums by either band.
Start with Bolt Thrower, Death, Morbid Angel, Dismember, Grave and Entombed. And definitely some later Carcass(last three albums).
edit: Oh and Kalmah should be right up your alley, great band.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll definitely look into those bands. By the way I've read out there that Death albums tend to vary from one another, is it true?
