What was your route to metal music?

As a 13 year old kid in the early 2000s, I discovered Green Day and really enjoyed them. My road-map then looked like this:

Green Day led me to Korn

Korn led me to Metallica

Metallica led me into a whole new world.

20 years later, Metallica are still my favourite band but the majority of my taste is Symphonic, power and melo-death.

Favourite bands these days are Epica, Cradle Of Filth, Temperance, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden.
