Which part of England makes the best Metal, the North or the South?

[Profanity]

Here is a list of bands from the North and the South.
NORTH
Acid Reign
Akercocke
Anathema
Arcane Church
Bal Sagoth
Benediction
Black Sabbath
Bolt Thrower
Carcass
Cathedral
The Enchanted
Judas Priest
Lawnmower Deth
My Dying Bride
Napalm Death
Paradise Lost
The Prophecy
Sabbat
Skyclad
Venom

SOUTH
Cradle Of Filth
Iron Maiden


That's a clear victory to the North, so in Metal terms the North is better than the South, unless you can name more quality bands from the South.

I think the Midlands make the best metal. Also, there's a Jaguar factory in Coventry, good stuff. And they have Coventry City FC!

 

[Profanity]

The Midlands is classed as North England.

Aha, I will go for North England then.

With you it seems that more bands allways = better (be it country, area, ect).

Seems to be the pattern. What if CoF and IM are so and so's favorite bands of all time? Then it would be the south then wouldn't it?

And in all actuality, the East wins.
