Into Metal

I'm trying to into metal but I have no idea where to start. Feel alone. What are the albums that won you over to heavier music? The only metal I randomly enjoyed was Deafheaven, but I'd like to know more essential albums for respecting the entire style

Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance
Metallica - Master of Puppets

If you don't like those then don't even bother

Anything in particular I should be trying to appreciate or focus on when I listen to these? Emotions, instrumentation, historical context, etc?

I might get shit for it but I started with these

what an atrocious thread lmao

Feel free to stay in one of the meme threads

This
kys my man

anything but this

also Motörhead - Ace Of Spades
candlemass-epicus doomicus metillacus
dio-holy diver

also these are mostly traditionnal heavy metal/ new wave of british heavy metal/traditionnal doom, so don't forget to explore on your own, there's a lot of great stuff in other subgenres, they're just more of an aquired taste

...

Jesus fucking Christ, this couldn't get worse even if you tried

I'm sure you could
let's try

Just put Deafheaven and Lithurgy there

or linkin park, korn and evanescence if you wanna be meme-y

Linkin Park and Korn's earliest albums are actually a good headstart for metal. Hell, they really were for a bunch of people back then.

I can't really hate them, since they gor me into metal (hell, they even got me into music) but you gotta admit they're not that good

>Emotions, instrumentation,
definitely these

I remember when I was 13 and pretty much exclusively listened to disturbed

I wish I didn't

This is a good start, yeah.
I started into metal around 1988, so my list includes:
Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil
Megadeth - Peace Sells
Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon
Metallica - Ride the Lightning

Those are some major reasons I started to love metal. Then I started leaning toward more death metal and discovered Kreator and Death. That cemented it.

Not going to recommend Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath?

That's more death and hard metal than regular metal man.

>hard metal
wat
the guy posted shitty nu-metal and shitty melodeath

That's not what nu-metal is but, yeah, entry level stuff. Like OP asked for. That's what happen when you get into metal in the early 2000s. I was like 12 at the time. I didn't know better.

btw nice name Darkess

unironically this

shit i put this fo a stupid "hello darknoss my old friend" joke
well, better roll with it and become an old fasioned edgelord
you don't understand me, DAD!

as it appears, I can't spell darkness even if my life depended on it
I should really get some sleep

I wish I still could, it felt so tough and edgy back then..

Obviously it comes down to how quickly you can take getting into heavy stuff, but this is how I got into it.
Linkin Park -> Avenged Sevenfold -> Bullet for my Valentine -> Metallica/Slayer -> Behemoth -> Anaal Nathrakh
Not that these are the best artists to listen to or anything, but I found I listened to one or two albums by these guys, and that set me up for listening to anything regardless of how heavy/extreme.

If you're not concerned with how to get into the heavy stuff, it seems people ITT have posted good albums for you to try and pick your fancy.

If you want to get into BM try Ulver - Bergtatt

It's a favorite for a lot of people, clean vocals and production mixed with dark ambient and spoken word. While accessible it is still good.

Absolutely kill yourself.

TYpe o and thou do not belong there

you dun told' im, billy, you dun diddit!

Why not start at the best metal album ever released?
Pic related

In my shitty opinion, many classic metal bands got caught in an epic hard fast badassery competition that damaged musicianship.

Better to start with:

Death
Blind Guardian
Be'lakor

For me its a feeling of liking really powerful and energetic music that is also dark. I also can't get into most modern shit because I like shitty analog production.

Master of Puppets
Covenant
Most albums of Bathory
Darkthrones 2,3,4,and 6th
Symphonies of Sickness
All of the mid to late 90's Graveland I absolutely adore.
And lots of shred and 70's and 80's shit with good guitar playing like UFO and Warlord.

Also my journey was like NIN>Pantera/Metallica/Slayer. etc>death metal>classic rock/shred>black metal>"viking" black metal to mostly late 70's and early 80's rockish metal and nwobhm, and other cool stuff like:

>Ulver - Bergtatt
nu-male metal

You could try being more subtle next time.

This was an amazing troll, thank you.
