 Topic: Favorite Prog Metal Country
Posted: June 22 2008 at 14:16 |
I tried to come up with countries that have prominent metal backgrounds and included them as the choices (at least the ones that I could think of off the top of my head  ). Afterwards I left the 'other' option available. Go nuts everyone! I'll hold on to my vote for now and see how things develop.

I'll try not to be biased, but since two of my favorite bands are from Sweden, Opeth and The Flower Kings. Yeah I know the Kings are'nt metal. But those that are, Meshuggah, Dark Tranquility, In Flames, PoS, Amon Amarth, Candlemass, Katatonia, well not all of those are prog metal but you get the idea. And I just happen to have some Swedish heritage in the family tree. I have no other choice but to vote for Sweden.

Another vote for Sweden, but never discount Britain, USA, Germany and Norway.

I went with the US for our great post metal output.
I cant blame the poll for being a bit lopsided though. Sweden, and all of Scandinavia know how to make some great metal.

I voted for Norway . There is no vote for Norway yet, and I have not found a weak band from Norway in the Archives.
Actually I would put the USA before Sweden. The only Swedish prog metal band that I put among my 10 prog metal favourites is Pain of Salvation.

Since the first name in Prog Metal is Opeth, I had to vote Sweden.........

Strange that Canada is not even mentioned. For Voivod, Heaven's Cry and Unexpect Canada would deserve a spot on the list at least.
I still don't get how can destroy Sweden have such a commanding lead, but so is the world.
