Swedish Metal Bands

Pantera sucks. They are overrated bland hardcore unmusical shite.

Btw, they are not 'heavy' either. Bordering on emo, lyricwise.

Nah, Pantera is a nice band, better than 200% of the stuff you listen to...

uh they're not thrash

Are you being completely rediculous, modelled their music after Metallica agrugaubly the most prolific thrash band ever, who modelled their music after Motorhead who arguably started thrash.

But they're not thrash are they right I see.

I'm just refuse to discuss this any further.

profound? hardly. and in fact its a false observation. sweden is the metal NOOB capital of the world. the most accessible, catchy, sell out proned and shallow metal bands are from sweden. EXCEPT for the examples you gave ironically enough.

the UK = consistantly the best, most and highest quality metal since day one. followed closely by america, THEN maybe sweden.
Sell out? Care to give us a few names?

*Accessible and catchy doesn't mean bad.

of course it doesnt. but apparently half the country thinks accessible and catchy equates to selling out. i cant help what they do. the bands that have done this are extremely obvious, if you cant figure it out than youre probably a closet fan of said bands, or beyond help. either way, i dont care enough to bullet point them all and argue about them with you.

UK - The Beatles, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Porcupine Tree

US - Shania Twain, Jay-Z, Kid Rock, Paul Wall


i rest my case in this area because I just prove who the better music are. Yes!

It seems to me that the best metal bands are Swedish. Meshuggah, Katatonia, Opeth, you know. They keep the shit real over there apparently. Anyone else made this profound observation?:kickass:
most of us did 10 years ago, or later-comers recognized this upon their discovery.

cult of luna are fine...but they arent a prominant enough band to mention in a thread like this. nor are lord belial...which suck royally to be perfectly and quite honest in my humble opinininion.


i knew you didn't like lord belial, but finally i get a straight answer on cult of luna. ta.
