two really big bands in their countries but which i think don't get talked about as much as they deserve:
Grave Digger \m/
and Running Wild \m/
plain ass heavy metal... when we put on our CoB and Sonata Arctica albums, we wonder how is it such a divine sound came to be developed? these bands above are what heavy metal can't go without... from that point on, bring on the keyboards and melodicness and classical influences
