A Request to Me from the CBC: CANADIAN METAL!!! Please discuss it here!

[David Gold]

tell me what you think the roots of Canadian metal are, who was the first band, etc...

I've been asked to call in my thoughts on this subject for a radio piece, but first I want to hear yours!

Go!

 

[The Black Death]

Voivod
Razor
Anvil
Sacrifice
Slaughter

... Rush ( Probably a big influence... )

 

[sdmf2]

Not the first, but large contributors to the tech. death scene were Gorguts, Cryptopsy, etc.

 

[Aeonblade]

Rush were definitely a huge influence on alot of metal musicians, and I think you'd have to give a mention to the Quebec death metal scene.
