01.26.10 | I was not a fan of the third Down record.. I would recommend (at least for "gateway" metal):
Down - NOLA
Sevendust - Animosity
Opeth - Still Life
Deftones - White Pony
Pantera - Vulger Display of Power
In Flames - Colony
Mastodon - Blood Mountain
Killswitch Engage - Alive or Just Breathing
Soilwork - Natural Born Chaos
Also, if you don't have Master of Puppets, that one's kinda essential; along with Reign in Blood or Seasons in the Abyss by Slayer. |

Mastodon - Crack The Skye
Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain

Primordial - To The Nameless Dead
Protest The Hero - Kezia
System Of A Down - S/t |
