I was 16 years old when someone suggested that I should check out Necrophagist. I wasn't into metal, let alone death metal, but curious about it since people praised it for its complexity. So I sat down and connected to the all-too-expensive Internet (I was not allowed to do so, but I simply had to, so I did it stealthily) and spent a couple of minutes trying to download a song of theirs. I ended up downloading a file titled "Necrophagist - Seven" which was supposedly a sample of their song. This is what it sounded like:
Demons & Wizards - The Gunslinger

Surprisingly enough, I immediately fell in love with the music lol. Soon after, I wanted to find out who these guys are, how many of them there are (I thought there were around 5 or 6 of them just singing lol), and more of their music, but!

Oh, what a letdown this was! The only metal song I loved -- and I loved it so much -- the only link to the kind of metal I could possibly like and boom! I couldn't figure out the name of the freaking band.
Took several years to run into Blind Guardian.
