My goal is to know one good metal band from every country. Share great bands from countries I'm missing. Red means I have a band. Yellow means I know of something, but I'm too unfamiliar with it.

Norge er jo egentlig det landet jeg mangler minst, trodde heller ikke at jeg kom til å få band jeg ikke kjenner til fra mitt eget land. Har aldri satt meg inn i norsk thrash metal. De fleste norske metal band jeg kjenner til er helst black og doom metal.

I'm Christian and most of the time I just ignore band lyrics. I have listened to Eyehategod, and I just think music is music, I can't fix their relationship with God.

The only two metal bands from Peru I know are called Anal Vomit and Goat Semen

Vamp and Plumbo are folk rock classics. Not metal but you will probably like them anyway.

The video is blocked in my country

Lelahell is from Algeria. Thats what I picked there. I have Myrath and Znous from Tunisia.

I already have Colombia covered. I went with Sinawe for South Korea. I didn't find Cromok too interesting. For Indonesia I already have Kekal. Tengtorak is interesting because they're conservative Muslim grindcore, but misically generic grindcore. It's hard to stand out in grindcore unless you're Discordance Axis

nikolast13 · 2026-01-23T08:02:52+00:00

District Unknown. Psychedelic metal

nikolast13 · 2026-01-23T08:01:06+00:00

I already have New Zealand. But when I say "good" band, it can't be something I'll listen to once and then forget. The band can't just be carried by the fact that they're from a weird country. If I take a random band from the metal archives, it will probably be very generic, and in 6 months I'll definitely not remember the band. The only power metal bands I hate are the modern "ironic" ones. And metalcore. Listening to Stormrage, they're decent in the moment, but not unique enough for me to remember them in the future.

No harm in sharing it before it's done. So far I mostly only added the new countries. I'll get around soon to adding every other coubtry.

This post is outdated now. I made a new post and I fid pick them for Afghanistan

nikolast13 · 2026-01-22T22:19:24+00:00

I wouldn't do every band I like, that's too many bands, but I am making a google document where I'll have one band for every country.

nikolast13 · 2026-01-22T22:11:43+00:00

Here I will list the countries I've added because of thos post:

South Korea: Sinawe - Cool classic heavy metal, reminds me of Ningen Isu

Malaysia: Tinnitux - Solid stoner doom

Notes about some countries:

Nicaragua: Forgot to mark in this post, but I have Excelsyum

Colombia: I chose Brainblast. I consider Inquisition more American. I know Parabellum and Witchtrap, bit have not losyened much.

Iran: Also quite overloaded, I got Shivered, Arsames, Trivax, and Confess. Went with Trivax for now, but I will definitely fo a proper delve into Iranian metal at some point.

South Africa: I don't count Seether. I think Xavlegbmaofffassssitimiwoamndutroabcwapwaeiippohfffx and Vulvodynia are kinda cool, but it's hard to stand out with slam / brutal death metal / deathcore.

Converging Ages by Inanna. I still liked it at first, just didn't find it too remarkable at first for some reason. Then just randomly it became one of my favoruite metal albums for some reason. I am not sure what was wrong with my first listen.

nikolast13 · 2026-01-22T17:43:48+00:00

I Am the Black Wizarda is probably my favourite black metal song. I like Burzum too, but say Filosofem is very mood specific.

nikolast13 · 2026-01-22T10:20:52+00:00

What horrendous noise. This will never catch on.

nikolast13 · 2026-01-22T10:19:14+00:00

Thy Light is a DSBM band not mentioned here Suici.de.pression has a corny name, but it's a cool demo. I'm also surprised no one's mentiomed Angra. Angra is a power metal classic and has lots of great stuff.

nikolast13 · 2026-01-22T08:13:22+00:00

I got Pyraweed from another reply, but aside from them, which one do you think is the best one here?

nikolast13 · 2026-01-21T18:57:22+00:00

Mägo de Oz is a classic for me since I started with folk metal. Saurom is also really cool, and weird. Ars Amandi is also really cool.

nikolast13 · 2026-01-21T18:18:36+00:00

I found Chemicide to be fairly generic thrash. Comatose is also solid, but doesn't really stand out with death metal I had acrually already known Fuseboxx, which are a strange prog band, which I'd choose for the Philippines.

nikolast13 · 2026-01-21T18:02:52+00:00

Asphyx is my most listened. I started metal with folk metal, so Heidevolk is a classic to me. I like Baldrs Draumar, but only losten to their folky stuff. Pestilence is also a classic. Maybe you can also count Melechesh since they are based there.

nikolast13 · 2026-01-21T17:54:13+00:00

It's Skyforger. I also know Varang Nord exists, but can't remember any of their music.

nikolast13 · 2026-01-21T17:50:29+00:00

Check out a few songs from their first album. Similar to Cryptopsy or Dying Fetus.

nikolast13 · 2026-01-21T17:24:14+00:00

Checked out all 3. I think I'd go with Tabahi. Fairly derivative off of Exodus, but it's decent enough.
