Yeah, actually Korn and In Flames were what got me into metal, and then I found the others as I began to get more immersed in the genre. Most people aren't lucky enough to have Emperor be their first black metal band, or Death their first power metal, but I didn't start listening to either scene until I heard all sorts of great things about those particular bands. Actually, cradle of filth was probably my first black metal band but I only listened to a couple minutes at a friends and was turned off. And then I was enlightened...

You have a nice list yourself.

I used to live a sad life where i risked bands by hearing their name, grabbing their album and listening to it. Usually i was satisfied, a few times it was lame trash, Like Purge D.I. - Grounded....gets boring after a while, or Foo Fighters, who just plain suck IMO.

Luckily i heard names like Nile and Opeth pop up and found this site, which gave me a lot of good music

KoRn, slipknot, Disturbed, and a few other bands were the first i ever got into myself.

And yes Emperor is an amazing band, one of the best in black metal, i would've enjoyed them as my first...or Dimmu Borgir at least...but Covenant(the kovenant) - In times before the light was a good album nonetheless, they should've stuck with black metal though, S.E.T.I. was a piece of horse shit.

Hmmm, don't have time to post my list at the moment... but Death is not a power metal band, man... just thought i'd throw that out there

Alrighty, then. I don't like power metal, but I thought Death was similar enough in style that they might be. I guess my first power metal band was nevermore then, since they hail from my city.

Don't be ashamed of Korn, once upon a time we all liked them and if anyone has ever had the slightest interest in nu-metal obviously korn was probably their first.

Are they power metal? I like that singers voice-and I listened to them way before nevermore. Hmmm, my lack of interest in the power metal vein is starting to make me feel ignorant.

 

[SculptedCold]

Even though Blind Guardian are also frequently considered speed metal, the fact that you thought ANY Death was power metal kinda makes me think you're not wrong in feeling a little ignorant, hehe.
