Somehow genuinely had no idea Gojira were French so, TIL!
Also wtf South Africa.
I’ve checked them out on Spotify and that is some dirty, filthy grindcore
So in other words, nothing you’d be able to find on Encyclopaedia Metallum (unless they also got classified as some genre without “core” in it)
Edit: just joking. Mostly. I am still pretty salty about the fact that their gatekeeping is denying Every Time I Die their rightful place among the metal greats
They’re also declining Lorna Shore from being added as well.
Looked up the site and it seems like they also don’t have Between the Buried and Me or Protest the Hero so it seems like it’s one of those “exclusionary to be pretentious and no other reason” kind of sites
They’re great at finding new bands as long as the bands are properly “metal,” but they arbitrarily exclude any genre that includes the term “core” which seems like a miss to me.
They have a pretty narrow definition of metal I don’t always agree with (like cocktail and ball torture missing), but I’m sure glad it’s not flooded with -core bands.
Also wtf South Africa.
Yeah, can someone help me out with a pronunciation guide on that one?
Xavleg (zav-leg) is the accepted “short” name for when you need to say it out loud or write it and can’t be bothered to put the whole thing
The whole thing is an abbreviation for a bunch of gross shit with X’s on the front and end.
It’s pronounced just like it’s spelled.
South Africa wins best bandname.
I don’t know, Bloodywood is a pretty fucking good name for an Indian metal band.
They go so fucking hard live too, absolute blast to watch
Until you find out what it stands for. Lol
ok well now i just have to know…
…oh my god
Genuinely surprised to see that Eluveitie beats out Celtic Frost.
Edit: Just looked at the stats, and wow, it’s not even close: 872,935 to 120,157. That’s a real wtf. Insert Principal Skinner "…it’s the children who are wrong."jpg
Do you have a higher resolution picture?
Click the HD button in the top right but even that won’t help you spell South Africa’s favourite metal band.
Here we go "“XavlegbmaofffassssitimiwoamndutroabcwapwaeiippohfffX (abbreviated as Xavleg, aka Acidic Vaginal Liquid Explosion Generated By Mass Amounts Of Filthy Fecal Fisting And Sadistic Septic Syphilic Sodomy Inside The Infected Maggot Infested Womb Of A Molested Nun Dying Under The Roof Of A Burning Church While A Priest Watches And Ejaculates In Immense Perverse Pleasure Over His First Fresh Fetus) is a South African deathcore/ Christian music/ deathgrind/ death metal band. Its members rarely consider themselves Christians.”
Of course The Hu are the mongolian one. Theyre awesome.
Their cover of enter sandman cracks me up. Super great band!
My friends are metalheads but I’m not. Popped this over to our discord to see what comes up.
First response: “Greenland is a country. What the fuck?”
They are a vassal state of denmark
Visions Of Atlantis in a land locked country.
That’s how they’re sure it wasn’t actually there, just a vision.
South Africa looks like a cat walked across the keyboard
Full name: Acidic Vaginal Liquid Explosion Generated by Mass Amounts of Filthy Fecal Fisting and Sadistic Septic Syphilic Sodomy Inside the Infected Maggot Infested Womb of a Molested Nun Dying Under the Roof of a Burning Church While a Priest Watches and Ejaculates in Immense Perverse Pleasure Over His First Fresh Fetus.
We get it, band. You’re edgy.
Just to be clear, these are the most popular metal bands from each country, according to worldwide listening stats, correct?
Oooooh, that explains why System of a Down didn’t show up in Armenia.
Yeah. I agree it’s fairly confusing. Seems to be the most listened to band from each country according to Spotify.
