Hi Alicia! Welcome!! I like your taste in music ("classic rock, rock, pop, a lil bit of country, and currently been listening to more heavy metal lately").

I'd never listened to metal either, but this guy I know has been playing songs for me to 'try out' lol. And I've found a few I like! One was from the 'Five Finger Death Punch' band you mentioned and I love it! I think it's one of their 'slower' songs, but meh, it's a start lol

OMFG, who is this guy? tell him to stop!

read this thread if you haven't already
http://www.musicbanter.com/rock-meta...on-thread.html

and ask for some recs in this thread based off of the few that you have come to like or for some just suggestions in general

Even though I was talking to Holly, you can do that as well alicia75

You can try out Opeth but I don't think that band is a good transition band to throw someone into if they are just getting started with metal

The album Morningrise is the perfect trasition into metal, great vocals, without growls.

But seriously, tell that guy to stop.

Thanks guys.

@Dj - no, he isn't from MB and I'll be sure to take a look at those threads.
@Lone Misfit- Thanks for the recommendation. I will check out that Morningrise album.
