Your first heavy metal album/tape/cd

One of my friends was a huge led zeppelin fanboy, and he worked with this uber christian guy for a while who would constantly tell him how satanic Zep was, but then turn around and praise Sabbath as the best band ever. His reasoning: Sabbath just used it as an image, but LED ZEPPELIN REALLY CONJURED UP SATAN sweet satan.
 
I'll be cool and admit it...


System of a Down S/T.

I was probably 13 or 14.

First real metal album...


Symphony X - The Odyssey, recommended to me by a very good friend, at 16.

Oh yeah, can't forget Stryper...that was probably the second one I bought. I had Soldiers Under Command and To Hell with the Devil. They actually had some pretty badass riffs...I still like a few songs.

I actually love there version of Shining Star

my first was either Metallica MOP, COB FTR or if i got them when i think i did my mom gave me her Judas Priest CD's (Hell Bent For Leather, Painkiller :) ) i dont really remember what came first.
 
I got my first exposure to zeppelin and black sabbath as a little kid. I can't remember my age I think I was 8 or 9.

My most memorable moment was when I brought home my Seventh son of a Seventh son album. I was already a maiden fan by then but that one I so adored more then any at the time, I was 12 or 13 I think. My memory could be fogging up on the exact date.

The other most memorable. I've said it before but I forgot to mention the other cassette I got with it. I got my first Sanctuary tape on a whim because I was board and wanted to listen to something new. In the tape store and just grabbed it without ever listening to it, and never heard of them before. I also grabbed my first Enya tape with that one. I had no idea what that was going to sound like, and knew damn well that Enya wasn't even metal. Well, I loved both of them and Sanctuary was right up there next to Maiden for me. I think that was in 89. Lets just say that I had a gut feeling that I would love them both.
 
does gift count? if so on my like 9th birthday my brother got me the black album and i was like holy shit this rules. for first real metal purchase by me it would probably be children of bodom - hatebreeder. say what you will about children of bodom now but when i first heard that when i was 12 i was like holy fuck i've never heard anything this different and amazing and still to this day its that awesome.

They may have been all PRO GOD and shit but dude the guitar tone they had in the 80s was bad ass. Super fucking heavy.

I swear if they played thrash they would have been one of the best sounding bands out then. I still listen occasionally I am not afraid to admit I still like this band.
