This surprises you? A country where everyone is more concerned with stealing foreigners stuff than anything else will never produce the best bands on the planet.
agreed here.
@will, take nevermore as an example of a band with 2 guitars and no keyboards and they rape ALL those who use synths (or don't). Keyboards are an excuse for shit lead guitar playing so people need a form of good sounding lead in keyboards. Death still rapes most bands with synths.
opeth and dragonlord remain the bands with tasteful use of keyboards. And negura bunget, but i can hardly notice the synths at times
apparently not in Romania
