Heavy Metal Hall of Fame

I see... Pantera is from Arlington, Texas...

That certainly makes it the capital of metal right?

...

Try L.A. or S.F. or somewhere in England... east coast, south america...
 
The Dallas-Forth Word-Arlington metro area also produced Rigor Mortis, Gammacide, Solitude Aeturnus, and is now home to King Diamond. They still have the edge over Norway on the basis of those bands alone (and I don't even like Rigor Mortis or Gammacide that much).
