Below i have stated the history of metal and a brief outline of what type of metal i like, however i thought i would outline my first encounter with metal as well as why i like it among other things.
My first encounter with metal was when i was around 7/8, i had recently gotten a new sounds system for my room and was looking through my dads old CD's. I found many old and interesting bands that was all brand new to me. i must of been through about 50 CD's and found about 2 or 3 bands that i really did like, and then i found a really old looking CD with large writing in a type of bogey writing across the top, "ugly kid Joe" on the front cover was a a large statute of a green man (statue of liberty however i did not know this at them time) sticking his middle finger up to the world (i had no idea of what this meant until i did it at home and got sent to my room) and holding magazines in his left hand. so i put it in the CD player. My world was blown away, the heavy guitar the screaming and i remembering thinking, why is this so different, so loud and so violent.i must of listened to the album 4 or 5 times in a row i loved it. From there my love grew, finding new bands such as slipknot old bands such as slasher from there i have kept tabs on the metal world through such magazines such as metal hammer.
