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?
Yeah, I had a friend who was obsessed with Metallica around the time too, so I spent a lot of time listening to them with him. Although he liked the 90’s hard rock era while I was more into thrash. I sadly got into metalcore next, lol. But after a few years discovered death metal and have been into that ever since.
