I came to metal via punx meaning that I am significantly more knowledgeable about that genre of music (especially hardcore, skramz and pop punk). Thus I enjoy the fast and thrashy parts of metal that are quite prominent in punk.

I also enjoy very epic music or musically denser tunes and so I have started checking out more and more metal, especially in the genres of melodeath, folk, viking, power and thrash.

All of this has resulted in a pretty entry-level enjoyment of the genre, I can't hide it.

Thus the bands I say I enjoy when talking to metal folk:

-Sir Lord Baltimore
-Wintersun
-Iced Earth
-Blind Guardian
-Insision
-Iron Maiden
-Equilibrium
-Kalmah

The bands that I also enjoy in metal are:

-Ensiferum
-Children of Bodom
-Skyfire
-Shadow (Japan, female vox)
-Timeless Miracle
-Nordheim
-Imperanon (I've only heard Stained, though)
-Astur
-Black Like Vengeance
