90s were far from a dark age for metal. Extreme metal was actually in its prime back then.
Quoted for truth, again.

Of course I'm a little bit angry because it's impossible to deny that US and UK are countries which contributed the most to the heavy-metal genre.Nice introduction
This is 1977.That's even before the NWOBHM emerged.
Riot is just an example showing that heavy music existed in the USA long before 1980s. BTW, their album 'Thundersteel' is a true masterpiece.You are confusing music taste with education. Deep Purple predates Riot so does Judas Priest. Again England beat the US to the mainstream metal. I'm not a big fan of Riot, BTW.

I'm partial to Metal from across the pond. However, there are a bunch of bands from the good ole USA that would easily make it into my top-notch metal list.
Kamelot
Manowar
Iced Earth
Savatage
Virgin Steele
Hourglass & Dream Theater (for the more prog metal)
Kamelot did, in fact, start in Florida, though were hardly popular here in the U.S. But they became a different band when Roy Khan arrived and were more "European" after that
One of my all time favorite band though.
I saw this on facebook. The U.S. isn't included, but I can't imagine it even comes close to the lower end in Europe.
