I was in middle school trying to download some linkin park on limewire or something and stumbled across Ride the Lightning. The ferocity and elegance of those twin guitar harmonies in the intro really awakened something in me. What album or song was your gateway to the heavy halls?

"Through the Fire and Flames" on Guitar Hero 3, which led me to power and symphonic metal and I've never looked back.

A friend indoctrinated me a couple years back starting Haken’s Vector and blasting The Cockroach King in her car the first time we hung out. Honestly, I didn’t get it at first! It just sounded like noise to me and I hated it, only listening to be polite. But after a few days, I realized that a specific part of one song was stuck in my head. I’d go back for a relisten only to find out that, suddenly, this song didn’t sound like noise anymore. Then after a couple days, I’d remember another song… Rinse and repeat until I came out loving it, with an appetite for more!
