AHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Any moment you will hear air raid sirens.

And then your parents will be eating your limbs.

Enjoy.

Posting some Canadian metal, because frankly I don't think it gets enough publicity.

Annihilator:Canadian heavy metal band formed in 1984 by the leader and only permanent member, vocalist, guitarist and bassist Jeff Waters. The genres they play are Thrash metal, progressive metal, speed metal, heavy metal and

groove metal.

Anvil: A speed metal band that started in 1973, by high school friends Steve "Lips" Kudlow and Robb Reiner started playing together. After Hard 'N' Heavy, Lemmy Kilmister asked Lips to play guitar for Motörhead to replace "Fast" Eddie

Clarke, but Lips declined. They also released a documentary film called Anvil! The Story of Anvil.

Rush: While more well known for there prog and hard rock, they did dip into heavy metal occasionally. Although the heavy metal sounded more like the traditional metal made famous by bands such as Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin,

instead of "New Wave" metal like Iron Maiden and Saxon

Voivod: Starting out as a speed metal band, Voivod have added a mix of progressive metal and thrash metal to create their own unique metal style. The band found mainstream success in the late 1980s with its most successful album

Now go forth my creation and poison the internet.

You forgot Prog Metal and Melodeath.

PLEASE don't say they are fusion Genres....

Anyways. I just thought I'd steal the spot light of this thread for a moment.

Bathory, a Swedish metal act basically one manned by a man named Quorthon. He basically was one of the first black metal musicians and started Folk Metal.

Sadly a few years ago he died. And I feel his work is very VERY unappreciated.

Here is one of his Folk and Black Metal songs.

Well Progressive metal is a cross between Progressive rock and Heavy Metal so technically it is a fusion genre whether you like it or not, but Melodeath is just another genre of Death metal.

Austrian Death Machine is also a one guy show.

No worries about taking the spot light, in fact feel free to post more metal-related stuff if you want, I would appreciate as I'm always willing to see and try new things (plus it keeps the thread alive). I also encourage others to do so as

well, as long as you're comfortable with it and it's related to heavy metal (in otherwords on-topic).

So you want some metal in you? Then I suggest buying some Amon Amarth cds, they are just bliss for the ears.

Its funny.. Growing up my older sibs were into Barry Manalow or Styx/Rush, plus lots of top 40 crap.

I took a left turn and found Punk, Wendy O, Ramones, Buzzcocks.... Didn't learn to apprieciate Metal til after High school. Warlock was a revelation.
Now.. I listen to almost any thing in the hard rock/metal catagories.

Heres a new band, been around for maybe a year...
Devils Gift.

Excuse me Sir, what are you doing? How you dare to speak about Canadian metal without speaking of STRAPPING YOUNG LAD and DEVIN TOWNSEND??!?!!?! He's a fething genious!!

What about the Metal Queen herself (though retired)?

She was Canadian wasn't she?

Yeah Lee Aaron is indeed Canadian.... and she isnt retired, she sings Jazz now.

I thought the Metal Queen was Doro Pesch :S

She's german IIRC

There is a difference between the Queen of metal and the Metal Queen.
Lee AArons first 'hit' and probably best known song is "Metal Queen".. it kind of falls into the same catagory as Ace of Spades for Motorhead, its the only song many people know.

I didn't know who Lee Aaron is since today :\

Live and learn young padawan.

I picked folk/pirate metal. Alestorm FTW!

Readin up there, is Fast Eddie the one who formed Fastway?

Also, who wrote 'she won't rock'?

I've seen versions by Di'Anno, Fastway and Steffanie. But who actually wrote it and when was it released?

Did you know, Chris from Alestorm (formerly Battleheart) was also in a band called Splen?

Well due to popular demand I'll post some more Canadian metal (also it's kind of embarassing how some Spanish guy knows more about it than me ).

Strapping Young Lad: Was a Canadian extreme metal band formed by Devin Townsend in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1994. The band started as a one-man studio project; Townsend played most of the instruments on the 1995

debut album, Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing. By 1997, he had recruited permanent members; this line-up, which consisted of Townsend on vocals and guitar, Jed Simon on guitar, Byron Stroud on bass, and Gene Hoglan on drums,

lasted until the band's dissolution. Containing elements of death metal, thrash metal, black metal, progressive metal and industrial metal, Strapping Young Lad's music was characterized by the use of complex time signatures,

polyrhythmic guitar riffing and drumming, blast beats and Wall of Sound production.

Lee Aaron: A Canadian rock and jazz singer. She had several hits in the 1980s and early 1990s with titles such as "Metal Queen", "Whatcha Do to My Body", and "Sex with Love".

(Warning: This video didn't age well)

Personally im stuck between alt/numetal.
I listen to mostly Mushroomhead, Deftones and Mudvayne but there's some other stuff too like Black Dahlia Murder and Meshuggah.
Since that is what i predominatly listen to, numetal ftw.

Well currently heavy metal is in first place, with thrash in a distant second, both black and folk metal are tied for third. Glam and Speed metal prove to be an unpopular choice and Doom still hasn't received any votes!
