Why are metal bands from Nordic countries so much better than

They have more metal bands than any other part of the world so they have refined and perfected the formula.

Since our countries are so rich in minerals we understand metal far better than foreigners do. The cold climate also helps us empathize with the cold metal, and the stoic, individualist nature of our people has a natural connection with the singular nature of metal music.

But anyway, I think Germany has some great bands as well.

There is no 'metal' general.
Death, doom, black, melodic death, nu, trance, goth, NDH, etc etc pp

So, to answer your question, there are metal bands from a few subtypes that seems to emerge only in scandinavia, some don't

English metal is entrytier and get rather monotone as an entity after listening to the biggest names there.

Nordic metal is the supreme tier of music just by the shear flexibility of it. Englishmen can't seem to do anything else than good ol' heavy metal properly and as i said it get's quite monotone.

black metal sounds awful. Never understood why people like it. I assume they are the best because no other countries has people autistic enough to dress up like a faggot and make terrible music

>>72860817
Black metal is objectively the best metal genre

>>72860804
What's revolutionary about the song you've posted? It's been done to death already and better beforehand, there's nothing new to it at all.

>>72860832
if you are autistic and like dressing up like the crow I am sure it is. It is what we would get if ICP was a metal band.

>>72860881
you have the wrong approach to black metal if you're listening to it for the vocals.
that's like saying electronic music is bad because there's no singer.

It hasn't even been a month since Chuck Berry died.

Can people give rock genres a couple hundred years and a wider set of influential countries before they start chatting about regional rock superiority like people discuss classical music?

Poland is spitting out gems.

Metal already reached a pinnacle with the British and American bands and hit its height in the 90s. What we have now is pale imitations of what has already come before. Similar to current popular music, nothing overly new or innovative is being released.

Good point. But I wouldn't mind if the autism was turned down a bit, to the point I could have a conversation with strangers in the crowd. One of the reasons why I enjoy punk and hardcore shows more now as am adult.

>>72861493
well i don't know about .png or australia if that's where you're from but the metalheads i've seen here are not weirdos or austistic, maybe some can be a little bit pathetic but not in a autistic way

Thrash:

>>72861536
check out cauldron too.

>>72861624
It's not only about 80s sounding bands, I just can't be doing with black/death metal for the most part. I love current bands like High on Fire and Goatsnake, and they're certainly not stereotypical 80s sounding.

>>72861767
then that's just the beauty of metal
if you don't like a couple of subgenres there're plenty more subgeners for you to check out.
i would say black and death can be a bit of an acquired taste because i hated them at first too.

>>72861618

Nothing worse than the "elite" metal douche bags.
Everyone has their own taste in metal and outside the genre.
Judging someone because they prefer Korpiklaani over Metallica for example is retarded.
I enjoy a lot of different sub-genres in metal and I enjoy blues, classic and a lot of other genres.
What's wrong with that?

There's no """attitude""". Sunbather is uninspired bullshit for hipsters. New Bermuda was good though.

Inquisition is Colombian. Although you were not wrong in saying they are US-based.
Got to meet Dagon some time back. Pretty cool guy.

>>72884689
Well not that exactly but the earlier stuff and kinda still has some deathmetal elements in it. Though nowadays it's just outright thrash. Let's just call it Surmacore.

>>72884471
Meh, too polished. This is what comes to mind when I think finnish dm, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fNmhAhfXHg

>no mention of voivod, gorguts or syl

>>72889688
Voivod and Gorguts are great but literally everybody and their mother's heard of them so they're already implied when people bring up good Canadian metal.

Canada apologizes for Strapping Young Fag and Devin Nu-Malesend in general though.

While arab latino n acrican music is happy go lucky but they crazy.
Music is the opposite of peoples behaviour
