FETO (Napalm Death)...which I didn't get right away and took me years to fully appreciate, which is why I love extreme metal. It's simply an over whelming experience, often much larger than my ability to comprehend in one setting. Next was "Alters of Madness", which blew me away. It was so incredibly fast and heavy, that it immediately impressed me at a visceral level, however like FETO it has taken me years to discern the incredible guitar and drum parts. Morbid Angel seemed like aliens playing in a different dimension that would occasionally slow down enough to drop a portal, letting humans jump on board for the ride. Been enjoying extreme metal ever since, the best most adventurous bands straddling the boundaries of avant garde, prog rock and plain ass whopping heavy metal. Lately enjoying !TOOH!, and have begun absorbing a good portion of Anaal Nathrakh.
