the first some what extreme metal album you heard... and liked

[Thoth-Amon]

Yeah, it is.
I'm gonna try forcing that record on myself.

check out live in leipzig... it's got some of the same songs but with dead on vocals... also an excellent cd

 

[The_Crimson_King]

Death-Human

 

[viewerfromnihil]

To be honest, it's gotta be Pantera's The Great Southern Trendkill. Haha, extreme enough? Probably not.

nah, man. it's thanks to them that we have some of the brutal shit that we do

 

[Demonic viscera]

possesed -seven churches.

 

[Unsanctum]

sepultura - morbid visions, never looked back!

 

[whiskey funeral]

Carcass - Heartwork

I saw the video for "No Love Lost" on Headbanger's Ball back in the day and immediately bought the album. Around the same time, I heard Deicide's Legion and that blew me away as well.

 

[Immortal Souls]

Ok this is probably pretty sad but all i used to listen to is thrash metal, and like Alternative rocks bands such as Three Days Grace. But when Becoming the Archetype came out with Terminate Damnation i decided to give death metal a try and now like umm 2 or 3 years later? well ya now all i listen to is this kind of music.

 

[Perdition's Light]

I can't remember which came first, Opeth or Therion but I thought that shit ruled. I gravitated towards black metal and once I checked out Darkthrone, Immortal, and Burzum I was sold.

Interestingly enough, though many people list Cannibal Corpse as being the band that introduced them to death metal, I still to this day have yet to listen to a single CC song. They seem like a band I'd hate anyway.

 

[Immortal Souls]

I would never listen to CC.

 

[whiskey funeral]

If you've never heard a Cannibal Corpse song, consider yourself lucky.

 

[The Ozzman]

Fuck you all. Cannibal Corpse is awesome.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I wouldn't go that far.

 

[ossa]

I used to pretty much only listen to power and prog (I used to think Kamelot was extreme- hah) but then I heard Insomnium's "Above the Weeping World" and I've pretty much been hooked on extreme metal ever since. It's such a great album.

Insomnium was my gateway band

 

[Crimson Velvet]

My first metal record was a used LP of Metallica's No Life till Leather. It was a birthday gift from my uncle back in 86. Over the next two years I pretty much absorbed all the thrash I could get my hands on, but the first extreme metal (as in the modern definition) album must have been either Deathcrush or Blood Fire Death, in the late eighties.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

I wouldn't go that far.

i would.

 

[cookiecutter]

Seriously? They are so meh to me

 

[Immortal Souls]

If you've never heard a Cannibal Corpse song, consider yourself lucky.

A friend made me listen to the song "I cum blood" I am sorry but i got my limits i dont want to listen to a band sing about fucking a dead chick.

 

[cookiecutter]

lulz

 

[Immortal Souls]

LOL i dont really mind bands like oh satan this and oh satan that but the bands that sing about disgusting things like that i cant stand!!!

 

[AchrisK]

Ok this is probably pretty sad but all i used to listen to is thrash metal, and like Alternative rocks bands such as Three Days Grace.

There is nothing "sad" about listening to thrash. But when you say you listened only to thrash and alternative rock, that is confusing. What kind of thrash were you listening to?
