My first "metal" album was Mr. Bungle's self-titled... heck, it was my first album, period. I have to say, it was the perfect start...

Metallica(my dad liked them)
but the first metal bands I enjoyed was Type O negitive
Rammstien
Opeth
Cradle of Filth
and Dimmu bogir

Sabbath - Iron Man....

Not exactly metal,but the first Rock album i bought was 12 Gold Bars by Status Quo in 1978 i believe.They were the first band that got me into heavy music.Before that it was chart pop i listened to.

I was only a kid though.:D

Wow.... You started off on Dimmu, Cradle of Filth, and Opeth... Are you serious lol?

Metallica. My friend played them everytime i was round his and i hated it at first but it slowly click how good MOP and Ride the Lightning were.

Inflamed with rage by behemoth
it kind of scared me so i looked into a little lighter stuff and worked my way up

Mr Bungle is metal???...

I got a Black Sabbath Cassette from the public library back in about 86, it was a best of the ozzy years. Then a mate taped me some motorhead.

A few weeks later I was buying slayer and metallica records and so the obsession started. My metal obsession lasted until about 1990, when I discovered Faith No More, The pixies, Sonic Youth and The Ramones.

I still dig metal though.

My parent's Black Sabbath's Paranoid album
