Good places to start with any genre are the classic records:
Metallica - Kill 'em All
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Entombed - Left Hand Path (jump started the Scandinavian metal scene)
Death - Human
Celtic Frost - Into the Pandemonium
Lately I've been digging bands like Neurosis and Isis. Both bands have an original take on the Metal sound.
