In what order would you rank countries and their importance to metal ? To me it looks something like: Tier 1: UK USA Sweden Germany Norway Finland Canada Tier 2: Denmark Australia Switzerland France Russia Tier 3: Anywhere Else What about you. How do you see each country ? Does where you live change that ? -------------  My Blog: http://kingcrimsonprog.wordpress.com/ |

If we�re talking important in the development of metal I agree that the UK should be on top (acts like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest speak louder than words), but if we are talking today�s scene, the UK wouldn�t rank very high on my list. It�s very seldom these days I come across a UK act that really makes an impression. At least when we�re talking extreme metal. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

| All I know is that I live in the US and that I'm supposed to think metal here sucks. |

From a objective point of view, I think that's more or less accurate.

As for black metal, be glad you guys have Wodensthrone: Also, Askival as well. And if Ireland counts, Altar of Plagues. The U.K. also has Anaal Nathrakh, one of the most extreme sounding metal acts around. They formed in 1999 and put out their first album in 2001 though so I don't know if you call that recent.

Yes. Brazil is thus #1? Like I've said before on PA threads about which country is better, (though admittedly this one is better) the answer is none, since countries have nothing to do with music Unless one started purposely funding bands! ------------- Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal! Listen to doom metal, worship Satan |

| Actually, if you're talking importance to metal, Morbid Visions is probably Sepultura's biggest contribution. It hasn't aged well, but it was a key contributor to early death metal. |

Well, I agree with you, but this album influenced many bands back in the 90's! And, in Brazil, we have another great bands: Angra, Krisiun, Volcano, Sarc�fago... |

Brazil has one of the world's biggest metal scenes (in the number of bands), having only the USA and Germany ahead of us. The country also had a pivotal importance in the birth and development of extreme metal genres, such as thrash metal (and crossover thrash), death metal and black metal. The reaches of the scene and its profitability, however, are usually limited to only one country, contrary to what happens to other metal scenes, were money and opportunities flow so easily that even terrible bands can afford to make world-wide tours. -------------

I can't really disagree with this, but Japan is extremely significant in terms of audiences appreciating and creating a HUGE demand for live performances of metal (and a lot of guitar music in general). ------------- www.withinareverie.blogspot.com soundcloud.com/withinareverie facebook.com/withinareverie |

| Ukraine is a country with some of the greatest Black Metal ever, second only to Norway in my opinion. But since most of those bands aren't that popular, they're not really that "important" to the overall development of Metal. |

For me, it is probably UK, US, Germany. Probably a sprinkling of bands from other countries but not liking black metal or death metal mostly eliminates countries like Brazil, Sweden and Norway for me, though each have some bands not in these categories that I like. -------------
