What band first got you into Metal?

Seven Year Itch.

It's metalcore and therefore not 'real' metal to some people, but it's what made me start looking into and enjoying metal music and hardcore.

It was without a doubt Judas Priest for me! About 27 years ago I heard my first Priest song and was hooked. They were also what inspired me to pick up playing the guitar. To this day I still listen to them alot and still learn tons of stuff on guitar from them. I listen to and like tons of different music from lots of different genres, but if I had to pick my number one all time band it would be them. If all you have ever had a chance to hear from them is their big albums like Screaming and British Steel then due yourself a favour and give some of their other stuff a try.

Did somebody just compare High on Fire to fucking Rammstein?

I feel so violated.

Yeah, Rammstein is terrible. That's what I'm saying. The album that High on Fire song is from, on the other hand, is one of the best metal albums of the past decade.

As far the "growling non-sensical demonic vocals" go, I find them fairly easy to understand with both bands and don't think they sound alike in any way aside from both vocalists being male.
