First Metal Album

I think my first metal album might have been Korn's "Life Is Peachy" when I was around 13. It's not in my collection anymore, but I'll pick it up again some day.

My Music Blog

A school friend of mine bought this and played it to me, back in '79 and I insisted on borrowing it. I taped it - so technically, it's not my first metal album, because I didn't buy it, but it is the first metal album I "owned" and played to death.

It's remained one of my all-time favourite albums. When I read about its origins, I liked it even more, and Motorhead fast became (and have remained) one of my favourite bands.

The first metal album I bought was this one, later in 1979, thanks to a review in Smash Hits magazine (hey, I was 14 years old, and Kerrang! hadn't been invented!). It gave it 3/10 (and I hardly ever saw a rating below 5/10 in that rubbishy comic), comapring it to a piledriver crossed with a chainsaw. I was intrigued, because they also slammed "Into The Valley" by the Skids, with similar comments, and I loved that record. Needless to say, AC/DC are up on my favourites list together with Motorhead, I got into the NWoBHM from there, and the rest is history...

The next metal album I bought was purely because I liked the cover;

Possibly a very odd one here, but here goes:

Metallica - St. Anger

I don't like this album an awful lot these days, however it was my gateway to metal when all other music I was being exposed to via the UK charts at the time was either, pop, rap or whatever else that was popular at the time, so I'll always have a soft spot for it.

My first was also my dad's copy of Paranoid, and after that probably his copy of Van Halen. The first one I bought for myself would be (checks cd tower) either Kill Em All or Painkiller, can't remember which
edit: no, definitely Kill Em All

That's assuming AC/DC aren't metal (which is my opinion)

The first one I ever had was Paranoid by Sabbath, but technically that was my Dad's, so my first one would have to be Octavarium by DT.

	I remember seeing the videos for Thunderstruck and Painkiller on MuchMusic when I was a kid (back when they actually played music), but the first album a bought, on cassette tape actually, was Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson.

	My first metal album was "Somewhere in Time" by Iron Maiden. My second was "...and Justice for All" by Metallica and my third album purchase was "Live Undead" by Slayer. All vinyls I still have in my collection. I�m pretty sure my fourth album purchase was my picture disc version of "Extreme Aggression" by Kreator but this is where my memories begins to be more vague.

	Oh boy... so long ago. I listened to Metallica's self titled album a lot when I was 7 or 8. I really only listened to "Enter Sandman" and a few other tracks, but I think that was still my first entrance into metal. I believe the first metal albums I "actually" listened to were Six Degrees and Octavarium by Dream Theater. At this time, my dad watched the Dream Theater Score DVD extensively, and I listened to these two albums frequently as well. Shortly after, I discovered Master of Puppets and ...And Justice For All by Metallica. A little bit after that, I discovered Remedy Lane by Pain of Salvation, Scenes From a Memory by Dream Theater, Symbolic by Death, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by Iron Maiden, Still Life by Opeth, and Crimson by Edge of Sanity - and that is how I came to be who I am today.
