Into Metal

[Gavin Smith]

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

[Elijah Perry]

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

[Wyatt Clark]

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

[Carter Ramirez]

I might get shit for it but I started with these

[Michael Bell]

anything but this

[Daniel Bailey]

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
