Very true, Two Hunters is still one of my favorites.

Blut Aus Nord, Borknagar, and Malevolent Creation are also worthy mentions.

My family generally frowned upon metal when i was young.. so i was stuck listening to casettes of beach boys... my dad hid the kiss cassettes..

I'd have to say my first metal experience, and took a liking to it was the green jelly soundtrack off of the spider man/venom (snes) game.

early in high school years, our gym teacher worshipped ac/dc.
so we got to hear plenty ov it. f'in awesome.

a year ago or so i came across metalocalypse. yeah that took my appreciation to a whole new level. best metal cartoon of all time.

as my musical horizons are broadening, im experimenting with progressively heavier stuff.

The Power of the Sound of it. Nothing else sounded so Big, Bad, Tough, and Aggressive. that sound was the King of the Jungle and would Beat Down anything else around

Yeah, I don't necessarily agree with that. I was a fan of Watershed from day one. But I can see why it would throw some people off. I was pretty stoked to find out that Opeth was doing some blast beats now.

The attitude of musicians towards their music and what they do.

I was attracted to how aggressive the music was. I found somthing to listen to whenever I was pissed off at the world
