Ayreon gets my vote. Smile

I very much like The Gathering's album "How to Measure a Planet?" though.

On another note, it's interesting to me how the country of China has a population of 1.34 billion people, yet I'm not familiar with any Chinese artists (non-metal artists included); and how the country of the Netherlands only has 0.02 billion, yet I'm familiar with all of the Dutch artists in this poll and more (Autumn, Dial, Stream of Passion). Considering China's very large population, it seems like there would be a large number of artists in the country.

I'm only really familiar with the Gathering out of these, very rarely I put their albums on.

The Gathering for me, though they were really only metal for the first 4-5 albums. Epica a very close second and then After Forever behind them. Not really a WT fan and I hate Ayreon.

All held equally for me:
 
Cirrha Niva - Awesome debut last year
Day Six - new album due mid-year and can't wait
Sun Caged - Seconding John, also have an album to look forward to this year.

Not a big fan of most of that list. The Gathering is okay but the rest I really don't like at all.
I guess I'll pick other. Give me Netherlands death metal in the form of Gorefest thanks

What are people's opinions on Textures? I haven't actually heard any of their music yet but i would like to know what MMA thinks about them as their descriptions seem appealing to me. Should I go check them out?

Out of the ones listed, I went with The Gathering because of "Mandylion", which I've always liked. I was also tempted to go with "others", thinking Pestilence.

That's about it for meLOL, as well. Focus or Finch....
 
 
Actually I've heard bits of most of these and apart from Ayreon which bores me to death.... the others leave completely cold

Ayreon gets my vote, but certainly Within Temptation and Cirrha Nivaget honorable mentions.
