Your first Metal album

[Kasz]

Slayer - Reign in Blood

 

[byrne]

Fear Factory - Demanufacture (1999 or so?)

 

[Kaltwassergrab]

Well if Rammstein counts as metal, then Reise, Reise was the first metal album I ever purchased, soon after it came out in '04.

I was also thinkin' about if they count as metal, then i saw that some people consider nightwish as metal, so i couldn't be that wrong

 

[Slayed Necros]

Fear Factory - Demanufacture (1999 or so?)

Same here. Same year too.

 

[The Antihero]

First one I can remember was Black Sabbath's "Dehumanizer" around '94 or so.

 

[The Ozzman]

Dehumanizer is an awesome album

 

[Satanstoenail]

The first original I bought was ...and Justice for All on cassette. The first cd I owned was Rust In Peace, given to me by my parents for Christmas.

 

[GameFreac]

Shadows Fall - War Within in 2005

I'm new to metal also.....I mean I know a lot of bands now but in retrospective almost 3 years isn't long

 

[LBLTX]

Hail.

I started off listening to GnR, but my first true Metal album was Pantera's Far Beyond Driven in 1995. At first I didn't know what to think of the "wet" sound of Vinnie's bass drum. Shortly after that, it was the debut CD from Down. That's all it took to get me hooked.

 

[The Butt]

Rammstein - Herzeleid ^^ Had to be in 1997 or '98. I was something like 10 years old

Herzeleid, Sehnsucht, and Live Aus Berlin, about 4 years ago. Those were my first purchases, when I was just getting into metal.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Metallica- Black Album

first heard it around 92 and really started liking it around 93. first metal album i actually owned was AJFA. i picked that bad boy up around 93/94

My first was ...Silence by Sonata Arctica. I really liked power metal, but that was before I even knew what metal was, if that makes any sense. I saw SA live this February and they were great but it wasn't until this May or so that I actually started getting into more metal and now my tastes are pretty different.

 

[Dazie]

My Dad was into metal, so around the house we had a lot of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Megadeth etc. I hate to say this, but the first tape I personally bought was poison, in '89. I was six though. When I started getting really into Metal myself I bought a bunch of shit from columbia house. Fear Factory, Rammstein, Tool, Napalm Death, Type o Negative, and (ugh) Marilyn Manson.

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

Could have been a Motorhead best of, or something by Iron Maiden, possible Powerslave or Seventh Son.

In Flames - Clayman

Yes I know am kinda late to the party.

 

[Dead Winter]

Def Leppard - High n' Dry

I was like 6 years old in 1985.

First album I bought was Cradle of Filth's Nymphetamine in December 2004.
