I myself started listening to Metal when I was 8, or maybe even before that. Around 8 is when I have my first memory of Metal, when I heard my first Death Metal song, Unleashed - Before the Creation of Time. It's one of my all-time favourites, and can listen to it whenever. Like many of you, my dad was also into Thrash and Heavy Metal. We used to listen to WASP, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Twisted Sister, Motley Crue, all the great classics. My brother had also been into Metal at that time, listening to bands like Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir and Rammstein to name a few. After all that, I learned of Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, and Venom when I was maybe 12 or 13. I found Slayer on my own, and loved it. I found Cannibal Corpse and Venom from my dad, as he occasionally listens to Hammer Smashed Face and Welcome to Hell. Fast forward a few years, I'm now in love with Metal, it's the best genre, in my eyes. With the lyrics having such ferocity and meaning, and having so much controversy, it's hard to not like it. I'm also into any type of Metal, since I've listened to a decent portion of it at a young age and absorbed it all. From Industrial to Black Metal, I listen to all sorts of sub-genres.
