if you wanna go to the beginning, go to the first 7 black sabbath albums, if you want 80's, go to the first 4 metallica albums, if you want 90's, go to Pantera, if you want current, god help you.

here's a litle list of metal stuff that are worth listening at (it's not all that exist but it will do for a start)
Gojira, Death, Burzum, Mayhem, iron maiden (the first 5 are great but the whole discography is worth checking out), Mettalica (at least master of puppets and ride the lightning ), Opeth, Rage agaisnt the machine (only the first album is realy good but the others are enjoyable too), Regarde les hommes tombé, rahpsody of fire
(You should be good with those band sorry i can't remember other from the top of my head)

You need to figure out what genre you like most at first. Remember that all of these are concise introductions, and that I'm trying to pick a broad enough spectrum for each genre, but not too broad so that you can get a feel for it overall.
>Power
Try Helloween, Blind Guardian, or Gloryhammer. Rhapsody of Fire can also substitute for Gloryhammer -- both are heavily inspired by Italian music, yet Rhapsody of Fire has deeper roots in classical.
>Thrash
Try any of the big four - Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, or Anthrax. Everyone knows Metallica, but taste can vary here. I personally like Anthrax the best.
>Progressive
Try Opeth, Dream Theater, or Mastadon. People might want to add things to this list. I do too; there is plenty of great prog metal that I would recommend. This is just some of it.
>Doom
Try Black Sabbath, Neurosis, and Ghost. All very different but all worth checking out.
>Death
Try Immolation, Suffocation, and Celtic Frost. Immolation and Suffocation were not as much pioneers as they were refiners of the genre. Celtic Frost has a nice sound that is easy to get into.
>Precursor/Traditional
Iron Maiden and Motorhead.

Please remember that this is just what comes to mind for me.
