The album that got you into metal.

[Nocturnal Emperor]

the album that got me into underground metal was cradle of filth's midian its such a good album and a great stepping stone too.

 

[MURAI]

Sepultura's Chaos A.D got me into extreme metal.

AC/DC not metal who is saying that?...ok they play heavy-rock. But who cares as long as it keeps your head banging!..


Hey you got that right !! I've had that on album (LP), cassettes, and CDs. The production sounds like it was recorded yesterday, not 23 years ago. It still gets a spin once in a while and only a couple of songs feel "worn out" to me. You have to look pretty hard to find a release that has cover to cover quality of songs as that one. I think it should be in every metal-heads collection regardless of what genre he/she listens to. It's a basic three chord hard-rock album, but it still rips.

[Stoner Sioux]

ah, the albums that thrusts me into real metal......
Metallica's ...And Justice For All
followed by Slayer's Reign In Blood.

 

[CONCLAVE OBSCURUM]

for me... it would have to be: Sindustries .... by Gardenian... thats an amazing album. Before that i was already listening to Metallica... i consider that as metal, but i think that Gardenian got me into the heavy stuff

 

[Soilent Goat]

THe first album that got me into metal isn't "really" metal, but it's close enough and it started me onto that path...

Ac/DC Back in Black !!! I know I am showing my age here..... but I was 12 years old !!

I went to see ACDC back in 1999 with Slash's Snakepit. It was fucking amazing. I was hearing rings for a week!

[Heretic _Princess]

My very first metal album was Skid Row
and then I got into Megadeth - Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction. and of course Metallica - Ride the Lightning , Master of Puppets and and justice for all.

 

[Darlingos]

I'm totally trying to think and I can't even remember..might have been Sad Wings of Destiny - Judas Priest, or Sold Our Soul - Sabbath. I just always remember being into it as a kid...hm..

I do remember that Piece of Mind was what got me into Iron Maiden

 

[Torment]

Hollenthon - Domus Mindi. Fuckin A.

 

[Soul_Schizm]

It was Judas Priest--Screaming For Vengeance.

After that, Iron Maiden--Piece of Mind, and it was all over. I still remember my parent's look of horror as they realized I was lost forever

[Terminus Est]

Brave New World - Iron Maiden

Afterwards, I began to branch out to Maiden's older hits, Anathema(the second band I started with) and elsewhere into the realms of heavy/power metal, death, and some black metal.

 

[sixxswine]

Being that I'm the "geezer" around here I have two discs that "Got me into metal." Keep in mind that back in the day, there was no speed metal or thrash or even power metal!
The two records that got me into metal?
Motley Crue's "Shout at the Devil."
Kiss' "Creatures of the Night."

 

[MURAI]

So how old are you? I'm turning 19.
