Who is your biggest metal influence?

First was Iron Maiden, then Metallica, then Kreator, then Death/Atheist/Coroner. They were the main ones.
 
my english teacher JR and SR year got me into (further) into death metal. i had just picked up my first DM album and he found out via a "get to know you" assignment, and brought me a demo of his band, psypheria. psypheria is still one of my favorite bands.
