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?

I agree.NineFeetUnderground said: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.

The UK has fuck all to offer in metal. Maiden are still good, bizarrely, but I can't think of one good modern metal band form UK....
