@MMM

Keep 'em coming. You're giving me quite a few bands I've not heard of to check out!

(But you will not change my fondness for the European metal ;))

Thanks. BTW, do you think that Albanian, Slovakian or Romanian metal is better than American just because it's part of European metal scene? And some unknown Albanian thrash bands are better than Slayer, Dark Angel, Anthrax, Megadeth etc. only because they belong to the European metal scene?

To be 100% honest with you MMM, I don't think I know any Albanian or Romanian bands.....at least not off the top of my mind.

In all fairness, I'm not the best authority on metal. I began listening and discovery about 3 or 4 years ago. Other than the most notorious bands, like the big 4, Black Sabbath, Queensryche, and of course 80's Glam metal (of which I'm a HUGE fan), I had not even heard of most of the metal bands.....underground, European, or whatever.

@Vader or @Sharp Dressed Man or @LOU/REALM or @Riff Raff would be better educated on the metal subjects than me. I just like to chitter chatter :flirt

I know you put the cut-off date at 1986....and I'm only missing it by 1 year....

But these guys are from what we call Hillbilly Country (Kentucky, USA) and they are pretty awesome!! An unlikely place to find a band of this quality.

I never listened to Albanian thrash metal bands. I just wanted to show that quality of music does not depend on the geographical location of a band. Statement that European metal is better is nonsensical. Music does not depend on geography. It's utterly absurd.
