korn disturbed rammstein
First heavy band I got into, then discovered a wide world of some killer music. Still my music taste is changing, but will always remember the stuff I started on. Their last album was a vast improvement from the previous albums, though it will never beat Herzeleid or Sehnsuct for me.
For those metal-heads here, what was it that first got you into metal?
For me, it was buying a magazine called Massive and they listed the top 100 albums you have to hear before you die. I bought some, and then it snowballed from there
Of course, I was into metal before then (having seen Metallica in 1993) but having been exposed to a wider variety of bands, I was power-hooked
If I had to come up with my top 5 metal albums of all-time, it would probably look like this -
Metallica: Black Album
Sepultura: Arise
Skinlab: Disembody - The New Flesh
Nothingface: Violence
Five Finger Death Punch: The Way Of The Fist
New Acquisitions:
TR Astrotrain, Skullsmasher, & Hardhead

Easy one for me. My German teacher in Year 7 put on Rammstein's video Engel. Got into them, then my brother showed me a video of an Aussie band Alchemist doing a cover of Eve Of The War. Hands down the single most awesome piece of Classical music covered by a metal band ever. Saw them not long after that when they toured the east coast with a couple of now defunct bands. Had the sorest neck after the first couple of bands, but when Alchemist got on and did this song, I got back up again to mosh like a mofo lol. My neck ended up being like jelly after that night
All time favourite albums, a bit hard for me to choose just 5, but I will give it a shot in no particular order
International
Tyr - Eric The Red
Immortal - Battles in the North/Blizzard Beasts/At The Heart Of Winter
Hypocrisy - Hypocrisy
Behemoth - The Apostasy
Children Of Bodom - Something Wild
Local
Alchemist - Organasm
Dungeon - Rise To Power/One Step Beyond
Aeturnus Dominion - (first album I can't remember off top of my head )
Ruins - Spun Forth As Dark Nets
Furor - Advance Australia Warfare
Had to do 2 separate lists
My doorway into metal was guns'n'roses. At first I got them taped by an older family friend, then I got the cds... pretty much in the order they were released. I remember when I was 12/13 and did a paper round with my walkman playing gnr full blast.
Then of course came Metallica, and Metallica banging on about a few bands and then the floodgates were pretty much opened.
Now it's pretty sparse... don't buy that much new music. Still collect Blood Duster stuff and will pick up the new Soulfly for my collection. Maybe the new Danzig when it comes and the new album Slash has just put out. That's about it.
Top 5 metal albums...
International;
Sepultura - Roots
Soulfly - Soulfly
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Pantera - Great Southern Trendkill
Danzig - Danzig II: Lucifuge
Local
Blood Duster - C__t
Damaged - Do Not Spit
Mindsnare - The Death
Beanflipper - garden variety manic depressant
Blood Duster - Blood Duster
I got an Alchemist demo from France the other week, cost me 1.50 Euro and the postage was 6 Euro (I was the only bidder) great tape!

As a child of the 80's it was hair metal all the way. I didn't really discover new stuff until I started listening to 3 Hours of Power then Full Metal Racket on Triple J. Then along came internet radio and Snake Metal Radio opened up a whole new world of metal.
My faves in no particular order:
Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God/Fate of Norns
Mercyful Fate - Melissa
Carcass - Heartwork
In Flames - Subterranean
Kalmah - The Black Waltz/For the Revolution
Plus throw in some Maiden, Arch Enemy, Wintersun, Vader, Children of Bodom, Kreator... the list goes on.
