What band got you into metal?

Slayer is the band that got me into metal. My friend introduces me to Slayer back in 2009 and I was like holy fuck Balls \m/

I would say that Metallica really was the first band I really loved + it got me into metal...I must of been around 15 when I turned into a metal fan...

Oh, mine was Sixx.A.M., Nikki Sixx's old side band, when I was 15 and had never previously listened to anything except Classical music and Gregorian Chant. I made a quick descent straight into death and black metal and never looked back.

I don't think there was any particular band because for me it was the natural evolution from the classic rock that my parents listened to. I always enhoyed the more guitar heavy technical classic rock groups the best. Styx, Kansas, Boston and Rush turned into Metallica, Exodus, Nile and Dying Fetus as I got older.
