I started with Big 4 thrash bands when I was 11, because it seemed cool and in retrospect it's a good spectrum of easy-listening extremer metal. From easiest to listen to hardest to access, I would say:
Anthrax (first album especially easy, they never get that heavy) >
Metallica (pretty much all of their songs have easily detectable hooks) >
Megadeth (starts getting tough, but there's enough hooks if you're not filtered by the vocals and leads) >
Slayer (the most 'death metal' of the Big 4 and most coarse)
You can do this, or you can go to rateyourmusic.com and look at the top 10 albums for each metal subgenre. Subgenrefaggotry (as in: being pedantic about whether e.g. band X band is brutalledgroove or deathrash) is huge in metal discussion, so ignore that for now. The goal will be to get a good idea of what types of metal you broadly like. RYM has the subgenres listed in a tree view, which in metal broadly speaking means that, the deeper it is into the tree, the more inaccessible it is.
For now, disregard the fact that some subgenres are hotly contested as to whether they're real (extreme) metal or not, n.b. deathcore. I can totally see a zoomer metal baby starting with that or maybe slam death.

Sum recommendations spanning a couple genres
Crimson - Edge of sanity
good album if you wanna get into Swedish melodeath and has guest vocals from the lead singer of Opeth.
When the kite string pops - Acid bath
Not as heavy as most luh rape production metal but heavy enough coming from punk and hardcore. Good representative of the sludge sound. also listen to Take as needed for pain - Eyehategod for heavier but similar stuff
Prowler in the yard - Pig destroyer
Mostly pretty fast grindcore but the album spans a couple genres, there are some proggy tracks. Listen to Dirge - Wormrot for a more recent version of this sort of sound
Point blank - Nailbomb
Probably my favourite thrash album right now and also delves into a bit of industrial if you like that sort of thing.

To me 'punk metal-ish' would mean the subgenres of hardcore and metalcore, if you're new to metal I don't know if that's for you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalcore Do you prefer lighter or heavier, darker music? Are screams and growls OK, because mc almost exclusively has harsh vocals.

If metalcore is too much, maybe try heavy metal and groove metal. https://youtu.be/WKZk1XowOFM Nevermore is awesome. As a kid I started my journey with Bon Jovi, Dio, then growing up I moved towards nu-metal - Slipknot, then metalcore/deathcore - Converge, JFAC, and then brutal death metal and black metal, many hundreds of bands and discographies listened so far.
There was a metalcore band in my high school, easily the coolest guys in the school and I hung out with them a bunch so they influenced me but the musical journey was organic over the years. Take your time and listen to whatever you like. Explore, it's your journey.
