I think I was twelve, the last grade of primary school. I had a crush on someone much older and he started sending me music from Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir. I hated it, but I really wanted to impress him so I listened to it 24/7 and pretended to like it. From there I found bands I actually liked. I think one of the first albums was Sirenia or maybe Tristania. I often listened to bands like My Dying Bride and Opeth too, but now I only listen to them when I feel gloomy. I try to keep to the "happier" bands now, although that must be a terrible thing to say on a metal forum
