Souther AZ: mass potential, holy shit! Like anywhere else, it's a lot of work getting people out for the shows. The original bands have a lot talent like Fevered Dreams, Parasite, Flatline, Trail of Gore, just to name a few. But the bands that play nu-metal or simply copy someone else's horseshit noise formula whatever grab the attention of the few promoters and club owners out here. Why should a band gain recognition for playing soneone else's music, I ask you. Anyways, I guess Phoenix's scene sucks almost as bad as Tucson's, but like I said, even though fan turnout is usually pretty weak, we have some fucking good bands!
how's your underground metal scene?

the metal scene(if any) in las cruces, new mexico kind of sucks. theres hardly any bands here. There are a few local bands playing shows which is cool. i play drums and it's hard to form a band here. Not to many guitarists here into metal i guess. hopefully things will get better here.

It is very good. There are many bands that kick ass and are only waiting for a SERIOUS label. But there are not serious labels here...

My town has 1 metal band - Desecrator. They play kinda power-proggish-thrashy kind of stuff. I like em. I think their site is at http://www.desecrator.com . But anyway, that's it as far as any "scene" goes. There are NO metal shows. It's gay.
So I usually drive 3 hours to Cleveland. It works better that way

Since we don't have a Canada board, I'm gonna post here...Here in my city we have some pretty good bands.
Praetoria is cool... they're on the rise right now and have a lot of potential.
They're kinda like... Opeth meets Emperor.

They have some soundclips up there.
Wetwork is another good band. They're kind of a progressive death metal maybe... I don't know. They have a female vocalist, but she's pretty good.

Evirus is a pretty cool thrash metal band. They can get a crowd going. Don't know their site right now.
I won't get into bands from Toronto, but there's a lot of good ones there.

Denis Recendez is the greatest. Have you been to his metal shows? He has only put on a couple, but he is the nicest person alive when it comes to questions and bookings. Long Live MOSHKING!!!!
well, my location has absoulutely NO metal scene, so the closest thing would be Goatwhore, Soilent Green, Acid Bath and some other Louisiana bands
Univira
Daughter at the slaughter
I just moved from eastern VA (a few bands) to southwestern VA where I am still looking for the scene. There was a show about a month ago (I missed it) with Darkest Hour and some other bands. Don't know what type of metal or hardcore or whatever they were.
