it's good to see a metal band with racial diversity like in dying armsIn Dying Arms is releasing a new song on New Years and I'm so excited for it. :DDD This band is amazing, and the day they get signed will be a great day indeed. C:
Classics like Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath or Judas Priest are a must-listen. I'd say to start with Iron Maiden's "The Number of the Beast", or even "Powerslave" (albums; don't be scared by the names). Then there's the thrash scene of the 80's with bands like Metallica or Megadeth. Megadeth's "Rust In Peace" and Metallica's "Ride The Lightning" are their best work imo, but since you've just started I wouldn't really recommend starting by those.
As for me, I love the metal classics, with Iron Maiden and Megadeth being my favourite bands. Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) and Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) are the most.brilliant.songwriters.EVER. "Rust In Peace" is my favourite album ever, with the almighty "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" being their best song imo.
One thing I can't stand is the whole -core thing and the screams. Get them away from me plz kthx.

I'm not a major fan of metal, I used to listen to a lot of it and particularly liked BFMV and Metallica but I just slipped away from that general area of music.
What I'm interested to know is how many Korn fans think they have sold out with their 'dubstep album'?
I "entered" metal via mainstream 2000s hard rock bands - Disturbed, Korn, Slipknot etc - then met a friend who introduced me to the roots and I never turned back. Rather embarrassed to have listened to those now, because after broadening & developing an ear I realized just how terrible they were. However, they fulfilled my teen angstiness at the time.. I had a rather unbalanced obsession.
Yeah, I too used to like stuff like Linkin Park and Slipknot, but my brother got me out of that at about age 13. Now it's Gamma Ray and Dio for me!
... Bolt Thrower, Carcass, Napalm Death, Dismember,...
You want Heavy Heavy metal listen to Suicide Silence and Lamb of God.
