^ probably due to people just copying the CD's in the past decade now. Its no longer relevant for a library to carry CDs or account for them.
I had heard of stuff like cradle of filth, dimmu borgir, and the kovenant in the early 00's but didn't really check it out until I saw a magazine with Darkthrone around 2002 or 2003 when Hate Them was just released and figured i should look into this black metal thing. Bought around the same time Darkthrones a blaze in the northern sky and transilvanian hunger probably along with whatever album cradle was whoring out at the time with some lunch money. |

Some Australian libraries are! One metalhead who works for the local local chain of libraries spends a significant portion of his time making sure there's always a decent selection of heavy metal available.

| The infamous Kerrang article. Made quite an impression on a 15 year old. All I had to go on was that article and my imagination for some time before I managed to get hold of Aske and the Emperor Enslaved split on cd a few months later. After growing up on Maiden, Sabbath, Deicide etc. NOTHING prepared me how the second wave bands would sound like. |

Not entirely sure, but it might have been Cradle of Filth, and I'll still spin some for nostalgic value every now and again. Like it really matters now, anyway...

IF VENOM counts, then Venom's Die Hard 7 " single a friend loaned me in December 1983,
if not that, when I bought Mercyful Fate 's Melissa and Don't Break The Oath LP's in summer 1984,
if not that, then the first Bathory LP in 1985 |

Not only that, but how often are we going to do these threads?
Your first exposure to metal?
Your first metal concert?
Your first black metal bro-crush?
Your first pm to fight at Wal-Mart?
Is everyone that bored? |

I didn't know shit about BM, needless to say my 15 yo ass was very impresed, it all went downhill from there.

I wish there more libraries like that!! |

| My friend's brother had me listen to Mayhem's Live in Leipzig in his room around 1999-2000 (can't recall which year it was) when I was in 9th grade. He let me borrow Arcturus' "Aspera...," Sacramentum's "The Coming of Chaos," and Emperor's "In the Nightside Eclipse" and I was hooked after that. |

I had heard Venom and Bathory in the late '80's, but I was into thrash metal too much to care. (mercyful fate being the exception) If I only new then, what I know now. ha
Second wave my friend got Blaze tape at a Sam the Record man in '93 or '94.
Then I ordered Wrath of the Tyrant tape from Metal Disc(U.S.A) and it was all over from there. That tape scared the shit out of me.....

This is a long long time ago.... |
the first Cradle of Filth album has a few good songs. I will give them that much. |

| I didn't like metal when I first heard it, I actually started out mocking bands like Burzum and Mayhem. Kind of started getting into the culture, and one day, it kind of just clicked. De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas was my first black metal song, and it will be my last. I love you Mayhem. |
