This is the kind of thread that pops up a lot I suppose but the ow you got into Opeth thread reminded me of how I got into metal. I got into metal back in 1994 through a firend at school. Just ended up sitting next to a dude who ended up being one of my best mates. The first 2 CD's I bought were Carcass - Necroticism and Heartwork. Also picked up Aussie band Alchemist - Jar of Kingdom (this is a classic if you get the chance to scope it - a bit wierd for some though). After that it was black and death all the way - napalm death, Emperor, Immortal, satyricon, Amorphis, and of course Opeth.
Prior to that I was into rock music mostly. During my formative years from 13 to 15 I listened to the Doors alomost exclusively. Liked other old stuff too like the Animals etc. By 1993 Pearl Jam were my fave band (remember only up to Vs existed then - after this they went downhill IMO - Vitalogy is still pretty good). Started to listen to heavier stuff like Alice in Chains and living Colour after this but really jumped headfirst into metal once i found it. But this all led into metal basically.
