I actually haven't heard many metal bands from Mexico so I'll stick with Mortus Poetry.
Mago de Oz are awesome, too bad they are not from Mexico.

Mago de Oz, is the biggest sellout in history. The other day I heard these 12 year old girls singing their songs. I agree they have some catchy songs like Satania, or Finisterra. They even have a good one. Fiesta Pagana all about communism.

Even more than Metallica?

Uh... Fiesta Pagana is not about communism, it's about the Spanish Inquisition and how bad the Pagans got oppressed in Spain during the dark ages. And... sellouts? I've only met 2 people in Spain that know of the existence of Mago de Oz. They aren't famous, therefore they aren't mainstream... therefore they aren't sellouts.
They have a few ballad-ish songs which don't amuse me... then again, so does the awesome band Helloween. Just cause they tried a bit softer stuff it doesn't mean they're sellouts.
Just wondering, but do all bands that are not "True Norsk Black Metal" seem like sellouts to you?
As Hao said, Metallica are the biggest sellouts in metal history. Fuck what Cradle of Filth, Slipknot, or Dimmu Borgir did, Metallica are the true sellouts.


PS> Metallica still owns though, just not their last 2/3 albums.

[Amethyst Rush]

Rush.

You know you love Rush, dont deny it.

I like Metallica, Iced Earth, Slayer, Black Sabbath, Sevendust, Etc. But my favorite band is Metallica. My favorite bands from another country are Evergrey (Sweden), and Iron Maiden (UK)

From my country? Well, most American bands suck (IMO) but I'd have to say the following bands are my favorite US bands:

Danzig
The Misfits
Murderdolls
Narcissus (I command you to order their new album from Century Media.)
The Avalanches (Are they American? I'm not sure)
Iron Maiden
Avenged Sevenfold
Godhead
Tool
Err....I'm sure there's a few more, but I can't think of em at the moment.

[Jimmy Onestroke]

New Zealand.

The Clean
Darcy Clay
Deja Voodoo
Split Enz
Fat Freddy's Drop
Chris Knox's various stuff (The Enemy, which I have a couple of bootlegs of - they never made any albums, Toy Love, Tall Dwarfs, blah blah)
The Gordons
Then there are all those poppy and ocassionally somewhat proggy anthems that I never stop hearing but more importantly never tire of, by bands including Dragon, The Exponents, Crowded House and the Mutton Birds.

[Esememon]

Supertones, Tree63 (oh wait they're South African), FIF, Switchfoot, and possibly the Blue Devils.

edit: USA, and they're in order.
