American or European-Scandinavian Metal

[xenophobe]

I love a lot of European metal bands, but American Death Metal is where it is at.

Only a few good American Power/Prog bands, but there are some good ones. Euro/Scandavia has the US beat hands down in that arena.

For Death/Thrash though, the situation is reversed. I've heard a few incredible ones from overseas, but the US has more quality.

Black Metal, of course, is and always will be better in Scandanavia/Europe.

So I chose European/Scandanavian Metal: overall I'm purchasing more imports from there than US metal. And the nu-metal crud that US radio is forcing down people's throats is a disgrace. Turn off your radios and clean out your ears, then take about 15 showers--that junk is hard to wash off.

What country a band is from has no relevance to me.

Scandinavian metal is the best for everything besides thrash/speed metal

And Aurora Borealis??? You got to be kidding to bring them up as an example of GOOD American metal. They play utterly boring and unoriginal death/black metal.

Oh really? A lot of people around here like them... but of course, a lot of people around here like shit like In Flames and Soilwork too...

America owns death metal, and you allllllll know it!
