Have you ever thought about it?

Even though USA is the leading country in the world in almost every category, and uspecially culture-wise ofcourse including music, when it comes to metal they are almost nowhere to be found!

Some BIG names:

ICED EARTH
MANOWAR
Trash metal bands(almost all are amer.)

Us Black metal has many great bands. Probably the best genre of US right now.

Yeah, Vehemence, Nile, The Chasm, Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Deicide, chunks of the Bay Area, Rellik, Fleshgrind, Cianide, and almost all the brutal bands I mentioned (Cinerary broke up to form Brodequin and Liturgy) are still active.

TODAY, I still think those mentioned, and their scenes, make up the best damn scene around. We have it all. STILL.

CC, MA, Deicide and the whole Bay Area is a shadow of their former glory. The guys in The Chasm are actually Mexican and Vehemence took a step down with their last album, hardcore-ising their music.

That's what I think.

CC are a shadow of their former glory? KILL is like the 2nd best Cannibal album ye fools!

Bullshit. CC is fine, Morbid Angel is great, even now, and debate me all you want on that, they're still GREAT. Deicide.. and VITAL REMAINS for that matter are unstoppable. Deicides last one was as good as Once upon the Cross. The Chasm are actually Mexican?! OMG WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME?

Oh, right, because they came to the US, specifically Chicago because the metal scene here is fucking awesome, and a true oppertunity. They came here for a reason, and they released their BEST shit in Chicago, and that's where they've been for over half their discog.

Rellik is, in my opinion, releasing more entertaining shit than either Vader OR Behemoth (their main influence) released with their latest efforts.

Cianide is kicking it oldschool. And our brutal scene is unstoppable. Don't step, World, you'll get mashed. The US has it covered.

That's what I think.

Yet no one but you talks about it. I haven't heard it but it doesn't change the fact that they aren't as famous as they used to be, they were hailed as the best dm band once.

Blargh, I've given it a chance and been rewarded. That's all is needed.
