I’ve been off work for a couple weeks now and I’ve had a lot of time to revisit some albums I’ve neglected over the past couple years. One of my all time favorites, the gateway to most heavy/brutal bands I listen to today, is Use Once and Destroy by Superjoint Ritual. It’s not a lengthy album, but it’s fast paced, heavy, and convinced me to utilize darklyrics.com!  Once I understood the lyrics, I could appreciate the music. It was my gateway to Death metal.
So, if you had to choose one album that broadened your metal mind, which would you pick?

My gateway was Deicide's album Serpents of the Light,when I first listened to this CD it literally kicked my ass and this album is what got me into Death Metal, but I will never forget the first time I listened to Napalm Death's Words from the Exit Wound.

Not quite sure I remember but one of the first of the heavier bands/albums that got me into the real heavy stuff was The Gathering by Testament. Earlier I was really into Megadeth's Rust in Peace and Metallica's Master of Puppets, but not too much besides those 2.

| Entombed's Wolverine Blues (1994 i think)--I got it when it first came out and gradually started seeking out other extremes.

| A lot of the videos on Beavis & Butthead gave me my first tastes of metal. Ones I remember in particular really digging were "One" by Metallica, "Thunderkiss '65" by White Zombie, and "Mother" by Danzig. "One" was the first time I had experienced the double-kick bass, and I thought that really rocked. I definitely went through a huge grunge phase... I still love the old stuff by Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. I'd say that the album that got me into the more extreme stuff was Reign in Blood by Slayer. I couldn't believe how fast that shit was. To this day, that is one of my all time favorite albums. At that point, though, I still wasn't really into the death growls. Blackwater Park by Opeth was that transition album for me... I loved the clean vocals so much that I could tolerate the growls. I can't really pinpoint when I went from tolerating the growls to loving them, I think that just came with repetiton.

| First metal album ever, was back in 1995 when I first heard Iron Maiden's Number of the Best, bought it from him for like 5 dollars, i was no older than 7. Gateway album though, i'd have to say it was Cannibal Corpse's the Bleeding and Deicide's Legion. That was back in 1998.
