When did you get into bm?

[Mats ''Grave'']

I was 15.

[ArneZ]

Around the same age, but never cared too much for the genre....

idk, its just fun to now

 

[Sloz]

The age of 13 or 14, around there.

 

[matt schrauben]

I was about 14 or 15. I remember hearing "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk" and it blew my mind. Still love that album.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

IDK. I heard Burzum, Darkthrone, Mayhem, and Immortal and I was hooked.

Yeah, amazing album

 

[Spiderchrist]

14 or so. I think it was either Filosofem or Transilvanian Hunger that I heard first.

 

[Draehl]

23 or 24. I was more so into heavy/thrash/melodeath. I'm still not a huge fan of most straight raw BM- but atmospheric bm and blackened folk are great.

 

[theoden236]

freshman year in high school, around when Sons of Northern Darkness first came out. Bought it, the rest is history.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Hated the production. Took me a while, maybe 04-05 or so

15. Dimmu Borgir was my first band.

 

[Onder]

15. Dimmu Borgir was my first band.

Yeah I listened to Dimmu Borgir when I was a kid too. I remember when Death Cult Armaggedon was released so I had to be less that 13. The first death metal band I knew was Vader when Revelation came out so I had to be 12. At that age I also listened to Nile, Amon Amarth, Cradle of Filth or Nuclear Assault. I still have some burned cds from that time here somewhere.

EDIT: I still like some Nile and Morbid Reich / The Ultimate Incantation era Vader from time to time.

EDIT2: My taste has changed a bit since then. I remember thinking classical music was boring for instance. Mother was listening to some Brahms and I thought it was dead bullshit.

 

[jakethedog]

I was 21. Bit of a late bloomer, I guess, but better late than never.

 

[Nephilim96]

I first listened to some DSBM when I was around 11. I found Xasthur and Abyssic Hate, and I thought it was fucking insane. I didn't become my favorite genre until a couple years later. (Black Metal as a whole, not DSBM)

 

[Eligos]

I didn't get into black metal, black metal got into me.

 

[matt schrauben]

I didn't get into black metal, black metal got into me.

SNAP, BITCH!

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I began appreciating Mayhem I guess a few years ago. Most of the rest can still suck a fuck.

 

[Bitencourt29]

I was around 20 years old, listened to a few Darkthrone old tunes and loved it.
