Ceremonial Castings is VERY good. I suggest people check them out.

and from down there in your neck of the woods is blood ritual!

I have Wolves in the Throne Room, YOB and Ceremonial Castings in my local scene. And Agalloch also.

Git.

As for the Plymouth scene, I clearly need to check some of the West Country talent out

Living in Londinium, as I do, I have a variety of shit to choose from, although my personal choice would be Needleye. Fear Factory style industrial/death hybrid, plus the guys are safe as fuck. Oh, and the new album has Adrian Erlandson on drums. Still have to find out how they swung that....

Oh, and when I still lived with the parents- Onedice- Bristol band, prematurely broke up after one (awesome) album. Anyone else know them? Dave Malpass, where are you?

there's this brutal death band with an ex-Neuraxis guitarist in it, THEY FUCKING RULE LIVE and also on cd.

cirith ungol - i win this thread

nosvrolok - these dudes are alright, although they wear their own merchandise and look silly live

thornlord - i guess the only thing notable about them is they have a former drummer from exhumed

ritual havoc - not great but they only used red lights at the show i saw so it was cool

there's also a throwback black metal band called devil's mark whose drummer is a badass and whose guitarist shouldn't wear a tight-fitting black robe onstage or anywhere but in the privacy of his own home.

there are a few other sort-of-metal bands and of course a ton of SOAD clone / nu metal / bands

Stuff from the office area:
DIECELL ~ Melodic thrash metal at best!
CELESTY ~ How to put it? Dark progressive power metal?
Stuff from the home area:
FORGOTTEN TRUTH ~ In Flames Hardcore with kick ass live act.
GHOLGOTH ~ Dark Funeral Worshippers from the neighbourhood

[Dän]

By far some of the best Death and Black metal you will ever hear

I can't really vouch for any of these bands being good, but you might like to have a look at http://www.triplejunearthed.com/Artists/BrowseGenre.aspx?genre=Metal . They're (by my memory) all unsigned Australian bands.
