A combination of thrash and black ("hipster") metal got my feet wet. Specifics were Metallica, Maiden, Mastodon (who I am aware do not reflect either of the previous labels), Alcest, Amesoeurs, Liturgy. I've come to not be that into most of those bands, what with my black metal listening getting dominated by Master's Hammer and my main metal loves becoming grindcore (some people lump this with punk; i think it's a pretty cool synthesis of the two [at least better than metalcore! :p]) and drone doom.
