What made you like Metal music?

[Weirdoo]

Many years back, around the time I was hardly 13 I used to play alot of videogames, and so I'd join videogame communities to discuss my inherent interest. Around the time, back in middle school, it became 'cool' to follow the role of a mal goth and I couldn't help but admire the breakthrough in my previous idealized aesthetics of cool. From this enthused ignorance, I started paying more attention to the more alternate musical interests of people on the internet, that I had misjudged as having lived the same alternate lifestyle. I started off listening to H I M, Cradle of Filth and Iron Maiden but by the time I got to high school my taste evolved into various power / progressive / folk metal artists such as Ensiferum, Porcupine Tree, Tool, Kamelot and Helloween. I don't think I ever truly got sucked into metal until my senior year, when I finally gave death / black metal a fair listen. I got seriously attached to banRAB such as Death, Nile, Arcturus, Quo Vadis, Shining, In Flames among countless other banRAB.

Very lame, but so it goes.

Growing up I always liked punk for whatever reason. I got into metal via banRAB like Napalm Death and Carcass. They sounded raw and punky enough to get my attention while providing a fresh sound I hadn't heard.

I got into the metal scene due to influence from my friend Tim who was a total metal head. The first banRAB I listened to were Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and Opeth. All I still really enjoy.
