Ha!...I'd rather stick cocktail sticks up my japs eye.

In Flames - Embody The Invisible

I think.

something like Black Sabbath or Metallica.

The best
 

Black Sabbath

Sabbath. (though it was not called metal then)

System of a Down... (hangs head in shame)

Iron Maiden. A friend of mine brought over their Powerslave CD one time and I was hooked. Currently I don't really like much metal. Maybe once a month I will want to listen to some.. But I find it interesting that the 1st I heard (or at least that i was actually listening to) ends up being my favorite and the only Metal band i can handle for the length of a CD... Most metal just gets too repetitive after 2 or 3 songs, in my opinion.

Only gotten into metal recently but I think the band that got me into metal was Mastodon, never appreciated how good they really were until recently also...

Well, first heard Trivium's Pull Harder on the Strings of your Martyr over a year ago in an online pop up (strange advertising music). I thought it was super cool, so I checked into more of their songs. Then over a year later, i checked into it again, then decided to buy an album of theirs. And thats how i got into it.

Black Sabbath, probably. Or Metallica. My first metal album was by Cradle of Filth though.
