I was into AC/DC and other less worthy hardrock stuff which was popular when I was 10-12 or so, Poison, Twisted sister etc. Then when I was about 14 I discovered a radio show which was playing Death & Black metal in the middle of the night (unusual in a backwater like New Zealand) and started recording every show and tracking down as many albums as I could. I staill have some of those tapes I recorded off the radio in 93-96 - they still stand up pretty well and I think I was lucky to be exposed to such extreme stuff without actually having any freinds who were into it.

First touch with metal was when me and a friend where breaking in some "gang house" of some older guys in my village. We stole their dubbed AC/DC, METALLICA, IRON MAIDEN tapes.

Then I lent IRON MAIDEN, SCORPIONS tapes from the local library, watched METALLA on Viva Channel and discovered more and more of the better stuff. Guns´n Roses was a big influence to listen to harder stuff too, it´s the only band you have heard of (without any older brothers involved ) even on the countryside ,which where actually cool. They where in every teenage magazine around that time.

Beleive it or not, my first metal introduction was a copied tape of X-Japan's Vanishing Vision when I was 11 years old. A penpal from Belgium had sent it to me. I was hooked since then... haha

If I trace it back to one single thing, it's the opening riff after the intro to the song 'Money For Nothing' by Dire Straits when my old boy had 'Brothers In Arms'. After that it was hard rock and Heavy Metal like AC/DC, Guns N Roses, Motley Crue, Skid Row, Whitesnake, Iron Maiden. This was all 20 years ago, when god was a boy.

I listened to a lot of gay crap until I heard Metallica, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, etc.
My introduction to the extreme stuff was a bunch of recorded tapes a guy borrowed me, which were Gorguts "Considered Dead", Morbid Angel "Covenant", "Domination" and "Formulas Fatal To The Flesh", Deicide's selftitled and a tape with the first six songs of Pungent Stench's "Club Mondo Bizarre".

My first introduction to extreme music was back in high school, when this guy in one of my classes had on Napalm Death t-shirt, so I asked him if he had any CD's by them and he let me borrow Words From the Exit Wound and it literally crushed me. I was hooked on the album, then about 5 years ago I saw the video for Decapitated's song Spheres of Madness and this is what got me into further discovering more Death Metal bands.
