I'm thinking of Dark Tranquillity, mainly. Slaughter of the Soul was too much of a one-song album, with the same recycled riffs time after time. Now, DT....
But back on topic....

One good band doesn't make up for hordes upon hordes of cookie cutter clones. SOTS was a pathetic attempt to cash in. It's basically commercial rock dressed up in melodic death metal's aesthetic.

I can see your point. The only other gothenburg band i would listen to to any extent is In Flames. I feel the same way about the American metal culture, only (as with most Europe->America transitions) it's scaled up. The double handful or so of American bands I do like doesn't make up for the countless billions of horrid Trivium-clones springing up from the woodwork. I swear, every time a butterfly flaps it wings, a metalcore band is formed [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/wink.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"
\" border=\"0\" alt=\"wink.gif\" /].
On the other hand, from the US we have...
Megadeth, Metallica, Iced Earth, Kamelot, Anthrax, Slayer, Edguy, Dream Theater, Queensryche, Pantera (R.I.P. Dimebag) etc. etc.
and from across the border: Rush! So, maybe American metal isn't that bad after all? Yeah, right-thanks a lot, Slipknot, Linkin Park etc.-you officially spawned the antithesis of metal and have polluted the genre for years to come (but fear not-all metalcore bands will quickly die off from inherent inbred genetic disorders, if BD doesn't kill them all on a mad untr00-ones slaying quest beforehand [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"

Hey Canada has more to offer than Rush. They have spawned some of the craziest, ultra technical death metal bands around. I'm talking about Cryptopsy, Martyr, Gorguts and Kataklysm.

I thought they were American. Maybe it was the cover of 'Lavatory Love Machine'-just sounded like something an American band would create, to completely take the piss...

I discovered this wonderfull topic today !! Really nice one !!
Espana : the Andalousian olive trees, the wonderfull dessertic landscapes, the town of Cadiz "the most beautifull city in the World", and the river Guadalquivir... Garcia Lorca, and the castle of Alabra.
[*]The toll-free highways
-----> you have to know
[*]The Spanish are the best party people I've ever seen!!
All they need : one guitare, beer, and a beach ....and usually they do have 'em easily !!
Flamengo's everywhere, in every corner, in the first occasion
[*]The women... not the more beautifull or well dressed of the planet
but they are the more natural women I've ever seen -and also : charming and worm women
[*]and of course the huge black bulls in the top of the hills every 20 kilometres ...at least !!
I had a good laugh when my lady noticed that a typical dialogue
betwenn a Spanish parent who drives the car and his kid could be
-"eh daddy when we arrive ?"
-"100 bulls, kid"

Germany : good and cheap beer, and the student fraternities. Quite amazing to see a cold room in the house ! We've also been invitated to an enthronement, funny stuff.
Canada - Quebec : Their accent, impossible to properly understand what they say in less than 2 months. And their expressions made me laugh because they're very different of ours.

Good point, porcnoz. Canadians have nice accents I like any accent that's different from my own. Especially English accents
Never been to England. Wanna go there someday.
I want to see a lot of places. Wish it wasn't so damn expensive
