France does'nt have any good metal bands

[phagist_]

mm keep digging;
fuck....im dead
psycroptic (FUCKING BEST THING FROM AUSTRALIA)
Alarum (like metal/jazz fusion - they are the fucking shit!)
ruins (bm)
amenta (industrial dm/bm)
ice eater (sick bm)
occularis infernum (pretty cool)
the furor (bm, pretty sick the drummer does the vocals... and when they play live he doesn't miss a bit yet pumps out some fucking sick bm vocals)
- to name a few

 

[Hypnos]

disembowelment, mournful congregation and psycroptic are from australia...and theyre among the greatest in their genre. australia has had quite a few decent metal bands over the years.

.
+ don't forget the mighty Alchemist

french metal bands i enjoy:

Agressor (great death-metal, underrated as hell, played with together with a symphonic orchestra back in 1994)
Belenos (Spicilège is amazing)
Deathspell Omega
Blut Aus Nord
Misanthrope (interesting blend of various death-metal styles. quite unique)
Monolithe
Ataraxie

 

[L0bster]

I like Gojira.

Heard some absurdly crappy French metal through the years though.
Italy aint that good either
or Greece
or Portugal

Central and southern europe blows when it comes to descent music.
I dig Sweden, Great Brittain in the 60s/70s as well as a hell lot of american music from that era

 

[Conspirator]

...
or Greece

Rotting Christ
Septic Flesh
Necromantia
Kawir
Naer Mataron

...
or Portugal

Desire
Moonspell

Italy has novembre, that makes them good automatically.

I don't get this obsession with Gojira, I listened to their last album ONCE and it was so lame I deleted it instantly. It was like a really shitty version of Mastodon or something.

Rotting Christ
Septic Flesh
Necromantia
Kawir
Naer Mataron


Desire
Moonspell

Pherhaps I'd give you rotting christ, but mediteranian metal aint my cup of booze.

 

[Kenneth R.]

metal from the med' = orphaned land, distorted

 

[Stuck_Process]

No one mentioned not 100% sure they are french, but carnival in coal, they're like mixing black metal with hmmm funk, in lack of a better word.

What this thread needs is some good Vatican Death Metal talk, that oughta liven things up.

Here are my top five favorite Vatican Death Metal bands:

Cardinal Crusher
I Like Small Boys!
I'm the Pope, and this is my wife, what are you gonna do about it?
Drink of my Blood
Because I'm GOD and I SAID SO!

everywhere has good bands and bad bands.

 

[phil19]

for all the people that think that there is no french metal band please listen to GOJIRA or PSYKUP just one time and after you can speak...

 

[Anarkissed]

No one mentioned Carnival in Coal yet?

I was blown away by the variety of their songs when I first heard them.
Try listening "fuckable", "don't be happy, worry!" or "maniac". Just so genius songs!

listing nightly gale but not decapitated....classic.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Indukti as well, and i swear i am forgetting one other excellent one

 

[Hypnos]

@NFU: i'm not a fan of Decapitated. and i listed Nightly Gale because of their latest release. which is fantastic imo.

 

[Uaral]

Symbyosis (progressive Death /Metal)

Remembrance (Funeral Doom /Death)

These both are enough to prove you wrong
