What age did you start getting into Extreme Metal, how did you fine out about it, and what were some of the first bands you listened to?
For me, I first was into old Metallica - Kill 'em all, Master of Puppets, also into Megadeth, Testament... but I found that it wasn't enough for me.. I wanted more heavier bands.. so, one day I found an old Metal Maniacs magazine for sale, which I bought.. and read in amazement about Cannibal Corpse and other bands... they were all about the gore/zombie shit I also was into... I was instantly drawn to a lot of those bands. Soon I forgot about Craptallica.. I begged my Dad to drive me to the CD store, where I bought my first Hypocrisy album... I was 12 years old at that time. I was the only Metalhead in Junior Highschool with Hypocrisy, Obituary shirts on.. and the same all of Highschool. I spread the word to friends, and they turned Metal also.
Back then, the bands that ruled my CD player were - Carcass, Napalm Death, Obituary, Deicide, Hypocrisy, Amorphis, Nevermore, Children of Bodom, Cannibal Corpse, Emperor, Opeth, blah blah.
Nowadays.. a lot of those bands newer albums I don't care for one bit, but I will never forget how I came to be Metal and proud
