Regardless, I think we should all agree that England is the over-all Metal capital of the world.
What are the Black, Thrash, Power, Death Metal Capitals

Well, they did pretty much invent metal; between Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Carcass, and Napalm Death (not to mention a shitload of other bands), they've left their mark on the world.

True, England (not the USA) is the birthplace of metal. However, not all that many good British metal bands formed after the 80s.
someone finally agrees with me that the majority of brutal death metal is noisy shit

Exactly. I gave my reasons, others gave theirs. There's not much more to add.
This is coming from the guy who said Job For a Cowboy was good.

You can't just limit yourself to old school death metal because you don't like newer death metal. Influence is influence whether you like it or not. Obviously Death and Morbid Angel were influential, but you can't deny Suffocation and other's influence because you don't like the product.

I love new technical death metal
but that is a genre of innovation, intelligence, melody, interesting and unique song-writing, etc...
none of that is really there with brutal DM (honestly most of it is just noisy mindless shit to me)

Inevitably I always regret clicking "view post". You are so ignorant and irritating I'm not even going to bother.

I agree, especially since I figured out what the general definition of BDM is here. Not only is it noisy, it's pretty musically boring as well.

It just...doesn't appeal to my need for melody and progression. Technicality is usually a plus, but not the brutal death way. I do like Suffocation and Nile, but the genre as a whole does not do anything for me.

Fair enough. I am the exact opposite way myself. It appeals to my distaste of melody.

And you have every right to be so. I do appreciate a good atonal metal album myself now and then .
I want to also add, one must factor in the people that live there. For example, I've seen Sweden and most of the kids there seem to like their metal alright, its quite rampant and played nearly everywhere. But over in Canada and the US, most of the youth like listening to either some country or emo, rap, hiphop, or punk.Essentially, there wasn't a dominant fervor for metal in North America. We all know rap and that garbage is no.1 here. We cannot just solely factor what influential bands came from each scene and then determine off the bat who's a capital. So thats why I preferred Sweden over Florida and New York, there's more of a metal culture there compared to the US, overall. And you can throw in all the numerous metal bands that roam there as well. One will find pockets of metalheads in NYC and Florida yes but I highly doubt, you'll find it everywhere enough to even to start calling those place metal capitals.

Ok, everybody- we need to start taking this thread seriously so that we can decide where all the metal sub-genres will have their seats of Government.
