Your first Metal album

[Gorevith]

Metallica - Ride the lightning and some kind om Metallica collection. That moment I realized that I actually love metal )

 

[IntoPhagist]

Besides Metallica and Pantera so so long ago...My first real Metal album was Probably Megadeth - Rust In Peace or Carcass - Swansong.

Met/Pant are real Metal but I mean everyone starts with them for the most part. Can't stand PANTERA now but Metallica are still Classic.

I bought W.A.S.P - The headless children in 1989

 

[beast from the east]

Scorpions - Blackout, circa 1982

 

[cannibal corpse]

Death - Scream Bloody Gore (although I had listened to half of Tomb of the Mutilated, this was my first proper metal listen, I had listened to a bunch of Korn before that though but I don't really think they count).

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Metallica - ...And Justice For All (2003-ish)

 

[mntwinsfan]

Iron Maiden- Piece of Mind

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Kill 'Em All in 1994 I believe.

 

[Godhead's_Lament]

Black Sabbath's Paranoid back in '06 or so when I was 12.

 

[divine_torture]

Aw, you're just a baby!

 

[Godhead's_Lament]

HEY! I'm a big boy!

 

[divine_torture]

I bet you are...

I recall buying Skid Row's 'Slave To The Grind' when I was 5.

Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind.

Still worth a nostalgic listen.

+1 Piece of Mind was my first true metal album in '86 - I still listen to it occasionally. Shortly thereafter I picked up MANOWAR "Fighting The World" and FIFTH ANGEL "Fifth Angel". Both were great albums.

HEDDA has a hint of FIFTH ANGEL in our writing. Imagine Fifth Angel dosed with prog.

[AlienZombie]

First metal album I ever heard was Napalm Death - Harmony corruption. 1st one I bought was Pantera - Far Beyond Driven.

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

Most now wouldn't consider it metal but at the time it was considered so:

Def Leppard's Pyromania circa 1983

 

[Brofski]

Metallica - Master Of Puppets was my first real metal album.

Up until that the heaviest I got was Guns 'N Roses - Appetite For Destruction.

 

[hallkatla]

I think it was Iron Maiden - Killers. Around 1999.

 

[Psychonaut]

Man I feel old with a lot of you. The first stuff I heard was probably from Motley Crue's Too Fast For Love followed closely by Venom's Black Metal, Hellhammer's Apocalyptic Raids, and Celtic Frost back in the early/mid 80's.
