What are some killer bands that started off in your local scene? ( I know technically All bands start out in a local scene, just disregard that) what bands make you proud of being from where you are from? For me its STRIKER :)


meaningless's picture

good that im not from sweden..or it would be a endless list..hahaha ;)
but directly @Local-Scene..
Disharmonic Orchestra & Disastrous Murmur
Both bands still live in the neighbourhood
:)

Der Todesking's picture

What about Pungent Stench? Arent they from Vienna too?

meaningless's picture

if we spread out the question for the whole Country - then i would have to add Pungent Stench and Belphegor as well :)
But Pungent Stench are from Vienna, Belphegor from Salzburg.
Directly from Kärnten (Carinthia)..there are only Disharmonic and Disastrous :)

Dantesco & Doomlord.... Epic Doom Metal from Puerto Rico! \m/

Necro Rican's picture

+1 Conozco en persona el vocalista de Dantesco y también Doomlord mete duro.

Lyx's picture

Atlantean Kodex Haha

Joel's picture

Exodus (BBB era), Seven Churches era Possessed, Griffin (Flight of the Griffin), Hexx (Under the Spell era), Testament, early Autopsy, etc. All are from the Bay Area!

CxMxD's picture

ooooo this guy knows! Thats awesome. you got vio-lence, forbidden and im pretty sure metal church too! lucky bastard.

Joel's picture

Vio-lence and Forbidden are good too. There's also Death Angel. Metal Church have been based out of Washington State for a long time but they did start up in the city.

ProtoChaud's picture

Nile. They're actually from Greenville, but there's nobody from Columbia, so I'm claiming them.

CxMxD's picture

LOL! fuck yea

judascrust's picture

I'm from New Hampshire, USA.... one very cool thing for me is that Terry Savastano (founder & guitarist for sludge pioneers GRIEF and guitarist in crust legends DISRUPT) lives 5 minutes down the road from me, shops in the grocery store I work in; really nice guy & a humble & dedicated musician. Grief drummer Rick Johnson also lives in my town as well, he's very cool as well! Really honored to have gotten to know them a bit & go to shows w/ them.

MARTYRVORE - obscure black/death metal band from New Hampshire; total gruesome, rotten, old school, goat-worshipping filth... most New England black metal are from Boston or Providence, so I'm especially proud to know theres a band like this from my home state. Terry's also playing guitar in this band now.

COLD NORTHERN VENGEANCE - pagan black metal from New Hampshire, their drummer is also in Martyrvore; another quality band I'm proud to say is from my home state

GG Allin was from NH but i was in 3rd grade when he died; not sure if he's a guy to really be "proud" of anyway haha

CxMxD's picture

dude thats cool as fuck haha. GG!!!

NocturnalOccultist's picture

Sacrifice, Infernal Majesty, Cauldron, Rush, Slaughter, and Anvil! There are plenty of underground metal bands to name of around T.O.

CxMxD's picture

Hell yeah You and Joel lucked out. 2 of my favorite scenes, Toronto and bay area. cheers brothers

AbysmalWind's picture

Yeah, great band, their first album is a blast

SAATANANVITTU's picture

From my Finnish side: funnily, Finland being a 'metal country' and all, I can't seem to think of any bands that come from exactly my hoods. A lot of good new Finnish bands though!

From my Dutch side (no, I'm not Dutch at all but I've lived here for around 1,5 years now): Paramite, Vergif, Speedica.
edit: forgot Dood!

kertalaaki's picture

Hmm I guess Hooded Menace is something to be proud of.. and Vacant Coffin too.

metalman6767's picture

I would have to say for me it would be Battlecross. They started out playing shows in Westland, Michigan before they got signed to metal blade. I saw them countless times at clubs all over the place as well. Although I do no longer live in westland since it has been on the decline for many years, I am still proud to say me and Battlecross came from the same place!

Venommaniac's picture

Speed_Metal_Drunk's picture

I'm from Kenosha, Wisconsin. The two bands I'm very proud of are Jungle Rot and Lazarus A.D. There may not be a lot of bands from my city but they sure are great ones!

Liberator's picture

I am originally from Sri Lanka, so for me that would be Konflict/Genocide Shrines/Serpents Athirst/Funeral in Heaven & Shokaagni. Highly recommend these bands to anybody!

satanachist's picture

lets say that Croatia is my whole area, scene (not really big country), and this is from the time of Yugoslavia, 80s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsd_mcbD_qA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIdiA_RgTaw

vomitoxic's picture

Bands from Finland list would be bigger but I try to stay local/in my hometown.

Dark Zodiak (death/thrash). They're from my home town in the Black Forest (more like 'home village', with about 2000 inhabitants). The vocalist is my sister-in-law and the drummer is her husband. Sometimes, I watch their kids.
Check them out!

Barney's picture

Talking about my city, Zaragoza (Spain), one of the best efforts that has come out from here is the 80's Heavy Metal band "Pedro Botero" (Which means "Satan"), you can hear one of their best songs here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzX3W4gbPZE

Another one is the Death metal act Maelstrom from the 90's. They only released two demo tapes but the second one was really a great one, here is one of their tunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoSDCdrI1y8

bad_american1992's picture

Forgot to add Suicidal Tendencies... Cyco Mike lives down the street from my friend's house!

Formshifter's picture

not a fan of toronto metal bands, but i do love cancer bats. used to be obsessed with protest the hero (from whitby) back in high school but they kinda suck now. there were some other hardcore and metalcore bands i liked from the area but do we have any death thrash or doom?

NocturnalOccultist's picture

Slaughter - Death/Thrash
Chainbreaker - Black/Thrash
Goat Horn - Doom
Wood of Ypres - Black/Doom

Formshifter's picture

Toxicality's picture

Obituary, Death, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Massacre, Cynic, Nasty Savage, and Nocturnus. All hailing from Florida, my home!

Jimmh's picture

Not too much going on locally in metal scene. At least Convulse comes near by.

holy poison's picture

Germany has way too many good bands... but one of the best are definitely Katharsis and Har-Shatan. But as I'm living in Belgium I would say Possession are Belgium's finest at the moment. And as I'm working in the Netherlands: Pentacle is da shit!

Queen Catsie's picture

I'm from Staten Island, NY. Torturous Inception and members of WASP and Twisted Sister have come from here. However, our underground bands (particularly Sicada and Demopolis) really make me proud of Staten.

And in the other parts of France, there's Uneven Structure - awesome Prog band, famous in the Prog scene but underrated in France
Alea Jacta Est - great Hardcore band from Toulouse
Benighted - Modern Brutal Death butchers, greatest DM band in France for me
Regarde Les Hommes Tomber - Black-Sludge really original

Metalmate's picture
JackDeRipper168's picture

Why should a band which accidentally comes from nearby make me proud? I don't get it.

THMManiac's picture

Whats so confusing?

What bands from your local scene makes you want to represent it? Unless you have no local scene which you wish to support or be proud of. theres always that. To simplify, whats your favourite band from your local scene?

Blüdrayne's picture

Why should you be proud for someone else's successes that you had zero contribution to?

Megatron1777's picture

I know the scene was before my time but I live in central Florida right inbetween Tampa and Orlando. So I love all the history of death metal being here! But as far as current bands go, there's one in particular I really love, Druid Lord!

AbysmalWind's picture

Ok let's see... Despite I'm well aware my country will never be regarded as a promised land for metal bands, we have an astounding death metal act called Ataraxy, I'm pretty sure all death maniacs from tss have at least heard of them:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrADm_caokg

this post is way too old

joecubbie's picture

Trouble and Macabre

nameless_rites's picture

Infester

Chainbreaker's picture

I think the whole of Belgium is small enough to be considered "local scene";-) So in this case: Ostrogoth, Crossfire, Killer, Ancient Rites, Enthroned, Magic Kingdom and Oceans Of Sadness.
