Best Metal Albums for New Fans of Metal

The Top Ten
1 Holy Diver - Dio
2 The Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden

Run the album, and start listening every song of it and you'll love heavy metal and Iron Maiden

3 Painkiller - Judas Priest

I wouldn't recommend a new metal listener to listen painkiller (song). It's quite heavy

4 Keeper of the Seven Keys, Pt. 2 - Helloween
5 Master of Puppets - Metallica

These are all great albums - I only think that some albums might be too heavy or too complex for new fans. This is very individual though.

Not really if you are new. Thrash metal is kinda heavy. I don't think if you can listen it or not

6 Paranoid - Black Sabbath
7 Mandrake - Edguy
8 Seven Seals - Primal Fear
9 Nightfall in Middle Earth - Blind Guardian

A great album but it may be too complex and progressive for beginners. However, you can try it because it isn't extremely heavy. But If you feel the sound is too dense or you don't understand this music, try it again at a later stage.
