I'm very dissapointed of you, you didn't mention M�go de Oz, Dark Moor, Saratoga, Tierra Santa and Avulsed.

I did mention Avulsed on the first post. I haven't heard much of Mago de Oz, so that's why I didn't mention it. Guess Ill check out Dark Moor and Saratoga. I beleive Tierra Santa is from somewhere in South America, but I'm not sure.
I haven't heard any metal at all on the radio or TV here. It's sad that even a foreigner knows more than me about metal bands in my country. /me weeps.
Oh yeah, Angeles del Infierno(DM) and Lacrima(BM/DM) are pretty nice too.

UK and it has to be Keane, Snow Patrol and Franz Ferdinand.
Chuck Jet in there as well as I have no idea where they're from.

Tierra Santa is from Spain. Great band that, sounds like a mixture of Power Metal and Iron Maiden.

1349
Arcturus
Atrox
Carpathian Forest
Darkthrone
Enslaved
Extol (Christian Black Metal, I don't listen to this, but try it, it's not that bad)
Gaia Epicus
Gorgoroth
Old Mans Child
Sirenia
Solefald
The Kovenant
The Sins Of Thy Beloved
Theatre Of Tragedy

euphoria
parikrama(they only perform live...they released an album,but it wasn't a huge hit and its hard to come by)
menwhopause(again mostly into live gigs)
shankar-ehsaan-loy(they're not exactly a band....lately their standard has been going down.probably taken too many assignments at the same time.they usually only make music for commercial movies.shankar releases solo albums though.)

Ooh. I REALLY wish I was from Japan, but since I'm from America, I have to say Linkin Park. If I were from Japan, it'd be different. I listen to more Japanese rock than American.

2. Realm of Carnivora (Black-Metal)

Because they stink, and make sucky music. That's why.

[brit]

no but why do you think they make sucky music? is it because of the rap element? the repetitive lyrics? the guitarist? the digital element? what is it?
