Even though they have a lot of sub-standard industrial bands like Rammstein and Brainstorm, you really can't deny the Germans know their metal.

How can you leave out Blind Guardian? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
Germany is hard to beat for good power metal:
Blind Guardian, Savage Circus, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Iron Savior, Primal Fear, Edguy, Sinner, Virgin Steele, Brainstorm P)...
Obscura rock my bratwurst. Cosmogenisis might be a 2009 release but I only heard it this year and to that end it's been easily one of my favourite albums all year.

Not so much into generic thrash like Kreator, but the Germans really know how to do take a thrash basis and do something interesting with it. Rage as already mentioned, Angel Dust and Vanden Plas come to mind, even Accept at times, and there's probably more that I don't realise are German. Dew-Scented too in staggered doses.
Subway To Sally It doesn't matter if I don't understand a word they say, their music speaks volumes.
Poverty's No Crime, EverEve, Sieges Even, Ivory Tower, Ivanhoe, Lanfear, Cock and Ball Torture... so they have so many good bands covering so many different subgenres.
In a word...
Prost
Awesome. Didn't know Jaded Heart were German either. This is what it's all about. Education. EDUCATION.Virgin Steele are American man.
