Metal:American or European

[all_sins_undone]

I think you would be best to unregister from the forum, move to a remote town... and maybe change identities too.

But before you do, just remember

Metal orginated in ENGLAND!

... and considering this, why the hell hasnt England been added to this poll list? No Maiden, My Dying Bride, Black Sabbath, etc etc?



Well, some time ago, I would have thought this also, but America has been producing some noteworthy black metal in more recent times, not to mention bands like Agalloch.

two complete idiots battling it out

Amazing thread.

Anyway... I think Europe and America probably have the same number of high-quality bands, and the same number of shit generic bands. Difference is, in Europe a lot of the high-quality bands look exactly the same as the generic bands, not to mention play the same type of music, so they're harder to tell apart. Therefore, American metal imo iirc ffs afaict tbqo imho ftw.

European is much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much better.

 

[coolsnow7]

Yeah, Dragonforce and Children of Bodom over Symphony X and Cynic any day...:Smug:

As a general rule, European bands are superior.

But it's a pretty vague way to draw a comparison.

 

[CAIRATH]

Also a pretty stupid way.

European scene without problems, they have: Katatonia, Anathema, Opeth, Tiamat, Moonspell, Esoteric, Poema Arcanvs, My Dying Bride, Shape of Despair, Abigor, Darkane etc.

American metal scene too much put it on commercial rails, not too much they have underground groups, so, i suppose to be they have in subgenre only this: Morbid Angel, Obituary, Dying Fetus, Daylight Dies, Agalloch and Nile i guess. Almost groups in states is totally cheap pop-corn shit, maybe i hope situation had change sometimes and... yeah, states have not bad Chimaira, Absu and Evoken.

I find myself agreeing with you agian.
..."total pop-corn" is my new phrase for corny pop music.

Yeah, Dragonforce and Children of Bodom over Symphony X and Cynic any day...:Smug:

I definitely would disagree with this though, as I hate both Dragonforce and Children of Bodom incredibly, and Symphony X is one of my favorite bands. I've never heard of Cynic.

lmao you're a waste of a person

 

[A1a23]

European without a doubt.

 

[Slayer101]

Even though there are a lot of great music scenes from America, for example the Florida death metal scene, I listen to a lot more European bands, so I have to say European.

Cynic is probably the most talented of those bands, however lack any commerical appeal, and lack a lot of appeal to most metal listeners due to heavy usage of other styles of music. I like 3 of these bands, the exception being CoB.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

I prefer European, especially countries like... Norway, Sweden, Finland, United Kingdom, and Germany have many great metal bands.

 

[derbeder]

germany? finland?

 

[Vacant_Planets]

germany? finland?

Yes, Germany is south of Denmark, Finland is east of Sweden, anything else you'd like to know about them?

 

[derbeder]

there is a lot of quality metal coming out of germany and finland

I think the sarcasm went far over your head.

lmao you're a waste of a person

And yours as well. And I haven't heard you once mention a metal band you actually liked. So stop whining.

Symphony X fucking suck. Cynic were awesome
