04.12.13 | Death is great, but are they entry level? I don't think so, but that might just be me. It took me awhile to get into them. |

Hoppoman
04.12.13 | What kind of metal? Do you want death metal, thrash metal, doom metal, progressive metal, grindcore, metal core, blackmetal, progressive metal, heavy metal, symphonic metal the list goes on. |
slipnslide
04.12.13 | eyehategod and The Ocean are terrible starter recs lol |
PunchforPunch
04.12.13 | death and cynic are pretty much accessible |
sideburndude
04.12.13 | If Death does not appeal try Some of the earlier metal classics |
sideburndude
04.12.13 | But Death rules so you know |
DominionMM1
04.12.13 | eyehategod and The Ocean are terrible starter recs lol
why? |
ChuckyTruant
04.12.13 | Death is not hard to get into, some of these other recs, ie Neurosis, Intronaut and others are terrible for someone just getting into metal.
Honestly don't even listen to Metallica, not worth it. If you want thrash ask kill, you want DM? Ask kill. Black metal? Ask Hawks. Want metalcore? Ask wacknizzle. Want all sorts of good shit? Ask Tyraelxy |

And then come back and get EVERYTHING |
