hmn, im gonna do a poll, best place for metal or something, i think that after Scandanavia, Britain is a great metal place, theres loads of it here thats great, a lot of good bands never make the big times, which is sad.

so it would be cool if you could give a band name and then a short description.

 

[Don Corleone]

my fave british bands
anathema
my dying bride
cradle of filth
paradise lost
iron maiden (of course)
oh i could go on and on

yeah i forgot about that...

my dying bride - im not sure i need to say anything

Anaal Nathrakh - well what can i say, truly grusomely brilliant, a must for any Zyklon or Behemoth fan.

Akercocke - when i saw them live i wasn't into black metal and well anything heavy (including opeth) but they were supporting Katatonia, and well i have to say apart from the vocals i was very impressed, great solos and i need to see them again to make a proper judgment

Solace Denied - Great band, simillar to Opeth, and My Dying Bride www.solacedenied.com - go and d/l a few songs.

Gutworm - voted as the best unsigned band and best live performance a year or so ago by magazines and readers...they're signed now and the new material sounds good, can't wait for the new album.

not to mention blur and Oasis

although we don't have the class of Slipknot, linkin park and limp biscuit, we can't win em all.

Solace denied are pretty cool. They wanted my last band tyo support them in London, but we split up instead. Not the preferred action to take, but i'm in a better band now, so it may have worked out for the best

My old band were supposed to support them as well. It was a Blaze gig (he was headlining), but there were only 8 tickets sold, so the gig was cancelled. Serves him right for nearly killing Maiden!

 

[svenske kocken]

Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Saxon, Demon, Venom, Napalm Death, Anathema, My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost.
