Nothing you do can absolve that!

And the fact America created Death metal to begin with with Death and Possessed among others.

/end.

And nearly all thrash metal bands ever were formed in the US, yeah there are exceptions but thrash bands are mainly found here.

And what about great prog bands like Dream theater and Symphony X?

Or great power metal bands like Kamelot?

Also, just because a country or genre has produced a few shittie bands doesn't mean it doesn't have WAY more redeeming bands that you don't know about.

It's like judging all bands out of Finland off of Korpiklaani, or all power metal bands based off of Dragonforce.

It's stupid and silly to say a country or genre sucks because they have a few terrible bands.

I'm obviously not that close-minded. I was merely making a joke. America has a lot of be proud of music wise.

But it's irrelevant to the original point that the UK is where Metal was born.

And that point was also a joke about me being too lazy to travel overseas for a hypothetical Metal Hell Meet.

I still beg to differ.

Like you're analogy, they started it - Doesn't mean they bested it.

Metal Hell Meet.

Lol it'll never happen, unless one or two of you UK'ers decide to meet at bloodstock and have gay sex.

Kreator - Outcast(album) - Highly underrated album

I just contradicted myself. What the fuck.

Just because they started the traditional heavy metal scene that doesn't mean the UK had anything to do with the start of thrash metal and Death Metal in the US and the start of power metal and symphonic metal in the rest of Europe.

It's like if you're drawing out a car: Traditional metal would be the wheels, and everything else metal would be the rest of the car.

The engine would be made out of the bones of posers.

We all know that Death is the band that did Metal best.

In order of awesomeness:

This is the album I plan to get next.

4. Deliverance.

After Orchid, I was actually thinking of getting the remaining albums in order of first released, so that's actually the other way round.

What the fuck is it exactly?

Copypasta from Wikipedia:

Asperger syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder, and people with it therefore show significant difficulties in social interaction, along with stereotypies and other restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.

Although I don't struggle with social interaction that much, I just don't get along with certain type of people.

Chavs.

Goddammit AniMetal, you didn't even mention Judas Priest or Motörhead.

Motörhead > Judas Queef.

Judas Queef? Really? That wasn't funny at all.

And it's not acoustic. Its just clean. Its still electrified.

You've stated what Damnation is like before and I think I had doubts last time but I'll get it either way since I want every Opeth album.

It does actually.
Had Maiden, Sabbath and Zeppelin not existed the face of music today would be completely different. I've made this point already. I'm not going to bother again.

Dream Theater - In the Presence of the Enemies, Pt. 1 (Systematic Chaos)

Carcass definitely revolutionized metal at a level that not many bands in the world have revolutionized their genres, but the metal that I like was started in the states. It began with Metallica and Slayer in the late 70's, early 80's and it's worked itself into what it is today. My favorite bands are Silent Civilian, The Agony Scene, Chimaira, Hatebreed, God Forbid, and Dope. There's several German bands, and a few Norwegian ones that have tapped into that melodic heavy metal scene, (German - Rammstein, Caliban, and even Heaven Shall Burn, who is working their way into more melodic roots too. Norwegian - This Ending, Scar Symmetry, and In Flames) but as far as UK bands, it seems they're nonexistent on my ipod. If you guys know of any bands from the UK that fit in with the bands I've listed, feel free to post them, as I'm always looking for some new music, but I've just never seen any for my particular tastes. :/

If you like Porcupine Tree, you'll like Damnation.
Or if you like the clean Opeth songs like Harvest, Benighted, etc, you'll like Damnation.

I know, I know.

But you make it seem like the metal industry were ENTIRELY 100% born in England, that's not true.

A shitload of the roots came from England which inspired the whole thing, but if not for the whole thrash metal in the US becoming popular with bands like Slayer and the first hand full of power metal bands(Helloween, Blind Guardian, Stratovarius, Iced Earth, Hammerfall and...ugh, Manowar) becoming famous in Europe in the late 80's + early 90's than the music industry would be completely different.

Think of it this way: Traditional metal bands like Maiden COULD have all existed but the first thrash metal bands could've actually have been mature and played more traditional non-thrash music instead, and bands like Helloween could've just been hard rock with fantasy influences.

Each metal had a part to play in the evolution of metal.

Traditional metal came first, then thrash metal, the power metal, then death metal, then black metal, etc, etc.

Dream Theater - In the Presence of the Enemies, Pt. 1 (Systematic Chaos)

Am I the only one who thinks that if you listen to part 1 by itself that it sucks ass, but if you listen to both parts that part 1 kicks ass?

Would the other stuff have happened at all if not for the forefathers?
Obviously we'll never know, which helps my argument :P.

Dream Theater - Wait for Sleep (Images and Words)

I asked for some depressing music before, I have Evoken, Forgotten Tomb, Void of Silence, and Forest of Shadows, all of which are very good. Anymore depressing stuff? It doesn't even have to be metal.

You'll never need anything else. It is the most depressing thing I've ever heard. And I listen to lots of miserable music.

Metal first started in England. Before thrash, before death, there was just heavy metal. England is the birthplace of heavy metal, as well as the bands that lead to the development of heavy metal. Everyone here knows that doesn't mean that England was solely responsible for the new sounds in metal that would come after. But without England giving birth to metal, there would be nothing there in the first place to bring into new directions. And this argument started with Nev simply mentioning that metal was born in England. What's to argue?

You're judging the album based on what? the cover? Early Anthrax was good stuff, dude. If you're hearing an Antrhax song with Beladonna, you're listening to a song that is at the very least decent.

You mean a album that's great can't be turned horrible by a shittie cover + title?

o hai guys.

Anyways, here are my favorite bands, I'm hoping to join you all.

1 Metallica
2 Iron Maiden
3 Megadeth
4 Judas Priest

Anyone like the same bands as me?

Those are all pretty decent, especially the Priest and Maiden, but I think you need to list more. I'm no horseman or anything, I just like looking at the new members' bands.

All good. It's borderline, but you'll get accepted by a Horseman soon enough :).
And then you'll be able to expand your horizons :).

You're hear for the right reason, then.

I saw you like Judas Priest. I feel obligated to mention that I saw them two months ago.

if the guy wants to learn and expand, I sure as hell dont' see why we can't recommend any stuff. Either way, Ghost, your list was for the most part, solid.

Here are some recommendations (considering you like the Sword and Black Sabbath)

Kyuss
Behold! The Monolith (if you can track their stuff down)
Mastodon
Melvins
Fu Manchu
Grand Magus
High on Fire
Place of Skulls
the Hidden Hand
