My entry into metal was all kinds of wrong, Mastodon had a huge impact and I listened to Converge and tDEP years before I’d even heard a Metallica album. Got into Neurosis somehow as well, although I’d only heard 3 of their albums. I used to like Dog Fashion Disco an unhealthy amount too, lol (they still have some jams).
Honestly the time-line is so all over the place I can’t even begin to explain it. Metal wasn’t really a main staple for much of my teen years/early 20s.

this is making me remember that my path to metal may have been more complicated than I had initially thought. also a big fan at a young age of system of a down. korn a bit too. also stuff like puddle of mudd! maybe not metal per se but I forgot that heavy music was such a big part of my life

I digged a lot of Korn when i wasn't even interested in music, then i saw a Slipknot poster on my older brother's bedroom and i was pretty much obsessed with them from that moment, then i discovered Megadeth and the likes and the rest is history

Just checked out of curiosity... ‘Panopticon - ordered 26 March 2009’ - Leviathan/Jane Doe both show up about a year before it. My Amazon account doesn’t go back any further (think I used my mum’s account before that, or an actual shop).
Would love to know what else preceded it. My memory is shite.

I was obsessed with Rammstein because of the Mutter album and Live Aus Berlin but it was Slipknot that helped me going from that nu metal/alt rock scene to actual metal. Great gateway band and that debut album still slaps.

first metal jamz back in the '90s:
Dismember - Massive Killing Capacity
Grave Digger - Heart Of Darkness
White Zombie - Astro Creep 2000
Paradise Lost - Draconian Times
Motörhead - Sacrifice
Fear Factory - Demanufacture
Those were the days....

if we're going way back, the first CD I ever bought was Linkin Park - Meteora in 3rd grade, but I never explored any further into nu-metal. after that I was coaxed into classic/prog rock by my dad until he showed me dream theater (not even an actual dream theater song, just their elton john cover on A Change of Seasons). I ended up checking out the title track from that EP and that was the moment I became a metal fan I think.

I was just thinking and imagine if civilization was wiped out and you had to survive for months on end scavenging and hunting without any electricity and you finally make it to a community that is trying to rebuild. They welcome you in and show you they have established electricity and you are, after months and months of being on your own and barely getting by, able to play music again and the first song you listen to is So Did We.
