I remember we had a metal thread somewhere, but here's a generic one for all the kind of heavy stuff.
I know for a fact that many people over here are into this sort of thing, so maybe we need one.
I was 12 and convinced that Nirvana was the heaviest thing on earth, then I remember my cousin coming back home with a cassette (yeah...), "You have to listen to this".
I remember the it started with a lot of goats going baaa baaa, before starting some of the more disgusting noise even put on record.It was Legion by Deicide.
So yeah,
I went nirvana>deicide, no metallica in between.
The aforementioned cousin, was really into his black metal, which to be fair never did much to me, except the odd Burzum album, some Darkthrone, etc.
I think that the best things in black metal started coming out after the 00s (this is a blasphemy for many people, but I think a lot of hip stuff of today is much more in line with the "no-mosh" policy of bm).
I was in general more into Napalm death and grindcore, through which I ended up liking a lot of punk.
I have the impression that, while many people like metal here, not as many are into punk. Which is a shame, it really can be the most visceral music ever.
I really like the punk hardcore stuff we had in italy during the 80s, some great bands there.
Otherwise I prefer Crust punk, so that bleak slab of noise championed by Amebix and co.
And of course Crass.
Never been hugely into 70s punk though.
Never liked Metallica. Or Anthrax. Megadeath I like one album.
Anyhow.
Last year, I manged to see playing some good bands: Godflesh, Neurosis, Meshuggah, Fear Factory, and, for the more death metal stuff Decapitated.
When it comes to listening stuff at home, not much new really, so if you have suggestions please give me some.
oh and
Obviously.

For me it all started off when I began listening to The Offspring and Green Day in the late '90s. After becoming a bit fed-up of that happy sound, I wanted something a bit more extreme. I was led to some pretty shit nu metal bands like Korn and Slipknot, who I liked for a while but felt they weren't enough. Then, in February 2000, somebody recommended Napalm Death to me and it was love at first listen! After that, I read a black metal article in Kerrang! Magazine in March 2000 and was taken aback by the brutal romanticism of the Norwegian scene in the early '90s and decided I had to give this music a go! I went for Cradle of Filth at first ('Cruelty and the Beast' - still to this day one of my favourite albums ever) due to them being British and was completely blown away by the atmosphere and story-like structures of their songs. I still remember the day I heard that album for the first time (June 10th, 2000
