God, it's so great to see some non-American metal bands on this poll.

Seriously, it was looking like an American sausage fest in here for a while.

Crazy American bands like Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden.

Not enough dogs on the thread.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 12 August 2010 15:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Good question, actually. A casual count comes up with something like a third non-American? Maybe more? Then again, I didn't want to assume every black metal band comes from Europe, so for all I know all that hard stuff will up the foreign (non-American) quotient.

Most of the bands previously unknown to me have turned out to be from The States when I investigate them.

Something I've been wondering all along in these polls, where are the Motorhead fans Did primal scream covering them put ilxors off?

This is one of the all time great American metal albums.

This and Overkill and Ace Of Spades, seems well enough represented, though I prefer Bomber over the live one.

I wonder if LJ has heard/likes Carcass.
― rhythm fixated member (chap), Thursday, 12 August 2010 16:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Ned loves them, It was him who got me to check out this album.

Carcass are putatively on a to-listen list! ANATOMY METAL 4EVA

So you like Heart?
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 12 August 2010 16:54 (thirteen years ago) link
Still can't bring myself to listen to a band called Carcass.
Shallow, I know.
― ilxor has truly been got at and become an ILXor (ilxor), Thursday, 12 August 2010 16:56 (thirteen years ago) link
Heartwork kind of marks their break from anatomy metal. It has incredibly solid, almost traditional songwriting wrapped up in the most perfectly calibrated overdriven soundscapes.
― rhythm fixated member (chap), Thursday, 12 August 2010 16:56 (thirteen years ago) link
ha if that name is a no go, there are going to be a lot of unpassable hallways in the metal world imo xpost
― gg eileen (jjjusten), Thursday, 12 August 2010 16:57 (thirteen years ago) link
I really like that Agalloch song until the singer breaks into the "scary" voice around 7 minutes. It's really hard to take that shit seriously.
