After me realizing that most of my fave bands are local.... i have to ask... whats your fave local band? im from Vancouver so my fave bands are:

Dead quiet : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=louxUAjv7uE ( if your interested ... the lead singers old band was barnburner, also one of the greatest bands known to man kind )
Black wizard : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3_D6p8Nbkg
Baptists : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-BujK1z6U4

i feel like doing this because i feel like these bands are fucking amazing and have almost no "reputation " in the world wide metal scene

Well, my favourite local bands from my country Puerto Rico are:

Dantesco (Heavy/Epic Doom):

Zafakon (Death/Thrash):

https://youtu.be/HkCQHr_mSMM

Calamity (Thrash Metal):

https://youtu.be/80ur5qmuyV8

Both bands toured in america recently

Doomlord (Doom Metal):

https://youtu.be/a94K6_JfXzM

Argyle (Black Metal):

I bought their debut album and sounds a bit like Watain

Alas Negras (heavy):

I live in a rather small town, although the 3rd biggest in Denmark, so I am not familiar with that many bands from here, but Encyrcle play some excellent speed metal which Fenriz had in his Band of the Week-thing:

Well, obviously, I'm not from there, but Encyrcle are amazing!

Minty's picture

I'm from Kenosha, WI and besides for bigger bands like Jungle Rot and Lazarus A.D., we have

Product of Hate:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aGw2Da84b40

Corruptor:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=60jxcKiy_1Q

That's about all I can think of. It's a shame that the metal scene here has kinda died down since 2010 when Lazarus got their record deal with Metal Blade.

Edit: And the one-man-band Putrid Pile is from the next city over as well.

Stathis's picture

that's not bad although the name is kinda funny... It is in Greek and translates to "Grave Law" in English... sounds way cooler in english

Into Glory Ride's picture

I am from NRW (Nordrhein Westfalen), Germany, and if i think about it i could quite probably say, that Attic and Ketzer are among my favourite Bands, and they live not too far from my hometown. Also Sulphur Aeon residenot that far away.

Fornication
Gatekrashor

Into Glory Ride's picture

Rites of Thy Degringolade are damn underrated i often have the feeling (if there is something like under- and overrated).

Goathammer's picture

I'm going to see them July 8, they're getting back together after ten years to play two shows, one here in Calgary and one a couple hours north in their home town of Edmonton. I am very, very excited.

Into Glory Ride's picture

Cool, really!

Into Glory Ride's picture

Just saw that they now have the Svolder Bassist/Vocalist among their ranks, fantastic!!

Goathammer's picture

Yep! Svolder actually moved out to my neck of the woods a while ago too, if memory serves. I'm also going to see Mystifier this coming Friday, which is going to be awesome.

Into Glory Ride's picture

Great! Svolder is one of the best Bands to come out in the past time. Especially because of the wonderful politically incorrect approach to extreme music.
That' splendid, enjoy it!! They will play here aswell together with Rotting Christ and i'll probably will attend that.

Goathammer's picture

The album cover for the LP was incredible, and their stage names are some of the best I've seen. Rotting Christ would be cool to see, but only the first few albums.

Wouldnt call it "local" but, Midnight Priest is my fav portuguese band by far. They play Heavy Metal with a range of influences that goes from Mercyful Fate, Grim Reaper to the likes of Judas Priest or Riot.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECTx4ulJ4AE

Into Glory Ride's picture

Not my favourite from Portugal but an awesome Band for sure!

Pan's picture

I'm biased as hell, but this is my band, HYPERCARNIVORE, although we're not the best it is certainly my favorite group of dudes.

https://hypercarnivoregristle.bandcamp.com/releases

Sadgiqacea - http://sadgiqacea.bandcamp.com/

HIVELORDS - http://hivelords.bandcamp.com/

Also, these dudes are from Alabama, but they rule pretty hard.

As it is a bit connected with this topic, i ask the question here: Is there a thread for Bands You play in Yourself?

Can't hype this band enough

Stormbringer81's picture

Brumm Brumm Böse!

Zastrozzi's picture

Hardly any local bands worth listening to near me. The two exceptions are bands that broke up over a decade ago, Fog and Garden of Shadows. I recommend them to everybody, they're local diamonds in the ruff.

Fog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBDgJ0wW0W8

Garden of Shadows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXeH09vJc4M

Theres quite a few locally, but my favorite three right now, for a combination of their music and live shows are Lagerstein, Malakyte and Decapitated Mum. All of which are my friends and with dmum I went as far as designing their new logo.

kimo's picture

Even though they're form a different state, I'm still claiming Lagerstein as my favourite local band. Always a party seeing them live.

Nater90's picture

Ah Lagerstein, Such a fun & great band!! Originally Black Metal believe it or not haha, Sadly got no material that I could show / post.

I was standing next to Captain Gregarrr after their set for Alestorm last year and Chris was so far gone he ran up on stage and did vocals for Rum from memory.
