i remember listening to stuff like metallica and megadeth for a long time, but one day i was searching through iTunes randomly and came across Dream Theater and fell in love lol. after that i started listening to more stuff like that (the not so heavy progressive type metal) and then i watched the music video for Born...The Retribution of Spiritual Sickness and i actually didn't really like it at first, but for some reason i watched a few more times and began to love heavier stuff like Nevermore, too. Then, again On Demand, i watched the video for Iron Tusk by Mastodon and loved them. that got me into the even heavier more death metal type stuff (even though they're not death metal, that just lead to me finding that stuff) first like Lamb of God, then stuff like Opeth (now definitely my favorite band). thats all now led to stuff like Dissection, Melechesh, Novembre, Primordial and the like. lol so yeah, thats my story
