Well, here is some special for /metal/
I don't like Black Metal, which is why I'm going to share some treasures from my vault.
In this thread, I will post some obscure DM classics from obscure countries. No USA, UK, Canada, Poland, Sweden, Finland, but instead, Bulgaria, Israel, Argentina, Denmark, etc.
with links
It will take some time between my posts.
You better keep bumping, if you don't want to lose some important info
for starters, here is Organic Infest from Puerto rico

I first started getting into Nepali scene, after Vader had a gig there. Apparently they really had something going on for some time.
They still have a long way to go, but they are doing good, despite the conditions
From Moldova, Sarcoma

India
it's baffling that this country for such a long time was absent from metal world
Dying Embrace is a no-brainer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ABGZ0HGe74
To be honest, I don't really know what I can recommend from India without feeling like an idiot
Iceland
I feel like a cheater, because Sororicide is pretty well known
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPTq5ouiBFo
and I guess that's it. I did check some other bands, but it's very difficult
From Dominican, two cool bands
Necro
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnFJ5CbP3qw
however, Archaios is being promoted quite regularly
The opening tracks from their albums are killer

Croatia is a piss poor country, when it comes to metal, quite the opposite of Serbia. Weird, huh?
Ashes You Leave
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vA49TF32jeA&list=PLF0B1E1A26FC21F53
and Aeon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZCBGBlHGOI
It took me a while to find these bands, though
The only chinese band worth a damn is Hades, nowadays known as Narakam
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIjriv7gc1o
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y26y2UWK06U
They are far from being good, but had they released an album in 1994, they would be fucking legendary. Sadly, they lost the mastertapes and we will never know.
From Algeria
Litham

The band started in early 90s, but they played speed / power metal. Then they split up, and reformed as Death / thrash.
another good band is Requiem, but you won't find them on yt
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Requiem/8076
Guatemala:
Sanctum Regnum
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Sanctum_Regnum/23138
Rotting Corpse(s)
https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Rotting_Corpse/43838
They were featured on many comps and they slightly changed their name from Rotting Corpse to Rotting Corpses. Good band, but obscure and rough.
Okay, I'm talking a break. If this thread is still alive in an hour from now, I'll keep posting moar, and from better countries.
