Extreme metal and all genres branching from it are not known for their accessibility. We all probably grew up listening to the shit our parents force fed us up to a point. There is always that "one" band that helped to bridge you into listening to what you do now.
I remember when I was 10. My brother and I were at Wal-mart checking out the rock section probably looking for the next Hanson album when I noticed a disk that stood out. It had a brain attached to a spinal column and looked very out of place amongst the other shite being sold there. The letters spelling the album name had strange symbols. It was Fear Factory's 'Obsolete'. My brother stupidly told me that the middle 'o' was the sign of the devil. My mom's wouldn't buy it for me because of this so my brother and I went half and bought it. From then on:
What band or album bridged you in?
