I think we should have a thread to post some good local metal bands in your area that not too many people out of your area would know about, and if you could post a link to a site to find the band.
Here is a band Osmium they are from San Jose, California, and are a kinda Death/Thrash mix. Some fuckin kickass shit so check them out.
out of Aldergrove, BC, Canada:
RadioKill; Death/Thrash mix [very Metallica influenced] www.radiokill.tk
out of Abbotsford, BC, Canada;
Glorious Janitors; Power/Thrash mix [sounds like old-school Iron Maiden with some growly vocalizing thrown in] www.gloriousjanitors.com
