Getting into METAL - Need Recomendations

Yes!

YES!!

YESSSS!!!!!

Yes Jimi Hendrix was technically a metal artist, though today he may be called a funk artist for.,... some.... reason?

Strapping Young Lad, Fear Factory, Deathspell Omega, Portal, Ulcerate, Abyssal, Emperor

Yeah... Look at my icon... I don't recommend Emperor for somebody, that just enters in the metal realm... If you need something heavier - yes, but if you just start with metal - not really, no... Emperor, as much as i adore them, are like Dark Souls - Great, but not easy to enter..

Yeah I like to throw people right into the fire :P

Each band I recommended after FF were kind of half-serious suggestions because they are more acquired tastes

Chill out to some chunky goodness

I find that alot of people can get into MDM really easily.
