We’re on the final leg of our wander through metal bands of the world. One band from every country. I attempt to find metal in even the darkest corners of earth.
Let’s start strong with Taiwanese deathcore band Beyond Cure, who are actually pretty good:
Dirt burger:
From Dushanbe, we have progressive metal with oriental influences from the immaculately dressed Red Planet:
Here’s a clip of them soundchecking:
FAIL. Oh well, first fail of the day…
I once had the pleasure of watching a death metal band in Bangkok. I was one of about four people watching them that weren’t working in the club or related to the band.
Because I was clapping and whooping like a nut job, after the gig, they all came over, shook my hand and bowed in turn. What a lovely bunch of fellas.
Here’s Carnivora from Bangkok:
FAIL
FAIL
A surprising non-FAIL here… it’s thrash metallers Krucifix from Chaguanas:
Here’s gothic metal dudes, Saracens, from Tunis:
Totes dramatic stuff:
Turkey is no stranger to the ways of metal, here’s Episode 13 from Eskişehir:
There wasn’t a butt load to choose from but here’s Relicts from Ashgabat:
There’s a Finnish band called Tuvalu but that’s no help to us. But then, this island nation is only made up of about 10 square miles, so there’s probably not that much rehearsal space.
Nope, not a FAIL!? Here’s Vale of Amonition from Kampala. They started out as a bluesy band but progressed to bashing out doom instead. Good choice fellas. Although, having had a bit of a listen, it’s not that great. Listen here. Keep it up though guys.
No problem here, lots to shout about. Here’s Daymare from the troubled Donetsk region:
Spectator from Sharjah in the UAE. They’ve split up now I’m afraid…
Of course, I have to include my own band – Anacondas…
Of course… here’s 19tilDawn from Michigan:
This is Cuerno Negro from Montevideo:
Iced Warm from Tashkent:
FAIL
FAIL… obvs. But here’s a bunch of Harley Davidson enthusiasts getting blessed by the pope earlier this year on the 110th birthday of the brand. Random:
Difuntos from Timotes:
Ngũ Cung from Hanoi who got into a bit of trouble over plagiarism apparently:
FAIL
FAIL
Dividing the Element:
We didn’t have too many fails this time did we? Good job everyone. Thanks for coming along…
Here are the rest:
