Axiochus,

Kinda interesting to see, since Russia does not have Spotify afaik.

JackFrostNCola,

I believe this is the band with the most spotify listeners who originated in each country (not who is listened to most in each country).

Axiochus,

Ah, I see. That makes more sense 😌

take a look at persefone, really good band from andorra

mediocre_magi,

“Who the hell is Black labbath?” - my blind ass

Evil_Shrubbery,

Well, that is the risk of having just one eye.

AFC1886VCC,

Parkway Drive are a fucking great band, Australia can do metal

PatFussy,

Yeah they are great if you are a 35 year old girl

I don’t understand your comment

PatFussy,

Parkway drive aka BMTH with an Aussie flavor. Music that white millennial girls bump too loud when they wanna look cool

boogetyboo,
@boogetyboo@aussie.zone avatar

Ohhhh you’re one of those guys. Have you ever considered that people, especially those who have made it into their mid-30s, especially women, make choices that have nothing to do with putting on a show for anyone else?

It’ll change your world if you realise that once you’re a certain age (the younger the better) you don’t actually care whether people think you’re ‘cool’ - an ever-changing something that’s only meaningful to people in highschool.

PatFussy,

🍆

To scale?

Yep, round and bulbous

Something seems sus here…

No two countries have the same favorites?

Herbstzeitlose,

That’s not what the map is showing.

m12421k,

the title was a little bit confusing. it’s the map of popular bands by the country of origin.

Ookami38,

Yo fuckin Elis, I haven’t listened to them since… Well, since their original singer’s brain went and popped (cerebral hemorrhage). They were pretty kick ass.

TeaHands,
@TeaHands@lemmy.world avatar

Somehow genuinely had no idea Gojira were French so, TIL!

Also wtf South Africa.

@Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

Check out Benighted! The new-ish guitarist is my old high school friend.

Bourff,

Benighted has always been my favorite franchement band, above Gojira. Living in Lyon, I see Julien (the leader & singer) at nearly every gig that happens in that city.

Obi,
@Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

Super, moi je parlais de Manu le gratteux. Le mec était déjà un génie dans notre petit groupe de pre-ados/ados, tu lui mettais une track il l’écoutait une fois et ensuite on la remettait et il jouais pratiquement nickel avec le morceau, un monstre.

Bourff,

N’étant pas musicien, j’ai jamais compris comment c’était possible ce genre de choses. Mais c’est sûr que ce ne sont pas des manchots, leur batteur est excellent aussi par exemple. Et nouvel album dans 2 semaines !!!

Obi, (edited )
@Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

Je suis musicien mais moi non plus je ne comprends pas, je te rassure ^-^’

Je n’écoute plus trop de métal mais j’irai regarder ça.

johsny,
@johsny@lemmy.world avatar

Speaking as a South African, never heard of them.

CanadaPlus,

You have, it’s just that that name fits in nobody’s memory. /s

watersnipje,

I’ve checked them out on Spotify and that is some dirty, filthy grindcore

NielsBohron, (edited )
@NielsBohron@lemmy.world avatar

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

Nythos,

They’re also declining Lorna Shore from being added as well.

voltaa,

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

NielsBohron,
@NielsBohron@lemmy.world avatar

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.

Bourff,

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.

Soulg,

That’s so stupid who the fuck can even begin to claim they’re not metal

NielsBohron,
@NielsBohron@lemmy.world avatar

There are a few surprises here, tbf. I had no idea that Pentagram was Turkish (although, maybe it’s a different Pentagram). I kinda remembered that Sepultra that was Brazilian, but I’m not really a fan, so I had mostly forgotten.

GiantRobotTRex,

You’re probably thinking of the Pentagram from Virginia.

NielsBohron,
@NielsBohron@lemmy.world avatar

considered one of the “big four of doom metal,” alongside Candlemass, Saint Vitus and Trouble

Yep, I was thinking of the VA Pentagram.

tetris11,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

I was somehow thinking of Phantogram and wondering “huh, never knew they did heavy stuff.”

Track_Shovel,

Check out Alcest. I’m obsessed with them

TeaHands,
@TeaHands@lemmy.world avatar

Actually will, cheers for the recommendation!

zalgotext,

Also wtf South Africa.

Yeah, can someone help me out with a pronunciation guide on that one?

synae,
@synae@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

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.

AnUnusualRelic,
@AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world avatar

Good thing that it’s an abbreviation. It wouldn’t have fit on the record sleeve otherwise.

synae,
@synae@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Oh it fits just fine:

a3752695562_65

TheEEEdiot,

It’s pronounced just like it’s spelled.

Tylerdurdon,

Since when is pop music considered metal? Oh, you mean Ride the Lightning and such…

ArcaneSlime,

Tbf they aren’t the poppy-est band on the list either.

(Btw I love this song.)

squirrel,
@squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

South Africa wins best bandname.

sangriaferret,

I don’t know, Bloodywood is a pretty fucking good name for an Indian metal band.

zalgotext,

They go so fucking hard live too, absolute blast to watch

Saint_of_Illusion,

Until you find out what it stands for. Lol

mraow_,

ok well now i just have to know…

…oh my god

CanadaPlus,

Best by character count.

It’s not even close.

aleph,
@aleph@lemm.ee avatar

Just to be clear, these are the most popular metal bands from each country, according to worldwide listening stats, correct?

dylanmorgan,

Oooooh, that explains why System of a Down didn’t show up in Armenia.

Tb0n3,

Yeah. I agree it’s fairly confusing. Seems to be the most listened to band from each country according to Spotify.

Blaze,
@Blaze@dormi.zone avatar

I edited the title

teft,
@teft@lemmy.world avatar

Of course The Hu are the mongolian one. Theyre awesome.

Chakravanti,

Not bad but Yat-Kha is my choice that brought metal to Mongolian music first.

iamanurd,

Their cover of enter sandman cracks me up. Super great band!

exocrinous,

Scandanavia and India are the only continents with taste.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

I’m surprised by the lack of Iron Maiden

aleph,
@aleph@lemm.ee avatar

Sabbath > Maiden any day of the week.

Sylvartas,

As someone who loves both, I have to agree.

pete_the_cat,

Yeah, but Black Sabbath literally created (Heavy) Metal due to Tony Iommi’s accident.

PapaStevesy,

It’s the most popular bands from each country, not the most popular bands in each country. So Maiden could have only been in the UK and Sabbath beat them out.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

For some reason I thought they were huge in Brazil and the rest of South America too.

PapaStevesy,

They very well might be, but they’re not from Brazil or the rest of South America, so it’s irrelevant.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

Oh shoot, I completely misread the title. I thought it was each country’s favorite metal band, not where they’re from. Whoops!

PapaStevesy,

No worries, looks like op changed the title at some point, so you may have just seen the old one.

iamanurd,

I was not disappointed when I zoomed in on France.

prettybunnys,

France and Ukraine rocking that home field advantage here.

Noodle07,

Ignea too young to get that top 1 in Ukraine

@loutr@sh.itjust.works avatar

I think you misspelled White Ward.

5714,

Do you have a higher resolution picture?

ROLLORDIE,

Click the HD button in the top right but even that won’t help you spell South Africa’s favourite metal band.

Blaze,
@Blaze@dormi.zone avatar

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.”

Passerby6497,

I am almost surprised that that’s actually the band’s name. Almost.

ArcaneSlime,

Fucking THANK YOU! I’ve been wondering what the abbreviation was for since some dude offhandedly mentioned it in a comment above. I didn’t want to have to figure out how to google all that lol.

Side note, however:

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

Christian music

Its members rarely consider themselves Christians

I am now even more confused.

MrFunnyMoustache,

Light novel titles got nothing on South Africa’s favourite band.

AMDIsOurLord,

… Ha?

CanadaPlus,

That’s what the priest said.
