Metal Bands in Different Countries! 

I would love to see this become a series!

As an Irish person, i can confirm that everyone walks around the streets of Dublin/Galway/Cork city screaming metal lyrics. Just completely normal, everyday things we Irish do and see.

I love the hu and their native throat singing, its so incredible to hear

Tengger Cavalry’s singer, Nature G, who did the incredible, brutal vocals, passed away in 2018, very soon after the split of the band. Rest in peace to an insanely talented singer and overall musician. :(

I heard 'The Hu' in German radio once and was hella confused at the language and checked out other songs from Mongolia, and Mongolian throat singing, it's actually really cool.

Been listening to Bloodywood pretty much non-stop since your last vid, great idea for a 'mini-series'! Keep up the great work, Steve

Make more contents like this, Steve. This is a huge help to lesser-known bands around the world to get a little more exposure.

Yes! Feature all of them in a series. So many unique voices and instruments coming together to make metal is just beautiful.

For those who (again) love making life too easy: 0:30 Mexico 2:37 Mongolia 5:04 Australia 6:17 Madagascar 7:52 Ireland 10:35 China

Absolutely Steve, I can see it now: Let's learn the countries of the world, through METAL.

I was particularly interested in this video and happy I got this recommended. I actually came to Japan to do music about 15 years ago, I've played with lots of bands from around the world that have visited Japan. I'm privileged to now be playing in a Japanese metalcore band comprised of Japanese, Brazilian and English members. I personally am from Australia but spent my life living in America and Germany as well. We just got signed and are doing well, so all has come together nicely. It's just awesome how music brings people together from all over the world! Looking forward to more of these videos! Keep it up!

The Hu actually did a version of their song "Wolf Totem" with Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach, which is played on our local rock station. It's not bad, but it's not the same

These bands are so authentic. The costumes and makeup are incredible, and the locations make me want to travel the world. Great scenery. I really enjoyed the journey you took us on Steve. Maybe you can do more videos like this with different genres of music. It is very entertaining plus gives these bands some well deserved exposure. Great job Steve. Love ya.

Bruh, Mexico’s band takes corpse paint to another level.

Steve NEEDS to react to some of Japan’s best rock and metal bands, particularly those listed under the Visual Kei genre like Malice Mizer, the GazettE, Versailles, Jupiter, Buck Tick, X Japan, a bit more of Dir En Grey (more than just the infamous Obscure video), Nightmare, MUCC, DADAROMA, Lareine, Paradeis, Moi Dix Mois, L’arc-en-ciel, Sid, DazzlingBAD and more

this needs to b a series. we need to discover metal bands from every country. *there are insanely talented people in 99.99999% of these bands*

As a diverse metalhead, here is my humblest of suggestions: Austria: Russkaja - Energia (Full octane Russian-sounding folk metal) Brazil: Sepultura - Ratamahatta (Brazilian thrashy folk metal) Denmark: Mnemic - Deathbox (A danish take on industrial metal that'll make you want more) Faroese Islands: Tyr - By The Sword In My Hand (A mixture between heavy metal and folk, with a twist of viking) Finland: Amorphis - Bad Blood (Finland has so many good choices, really, but these guys writes most of their songs in a finish poetry scheme called Kalevela) France: Igorrr - ieuD (I have no words, check it out yourself) Germany: We Butter The Bread With Butter - Alles Was Ich Will (German lyrics, very heavy, and delightful for the ears) Greece: Septicflesh - Portrait of a Headless Man (Somewhere in between black and death metal) Inner Mongolia (not mongolia): Nine Treasures - Bodhicitta (If you like Bloodywood, you'll like this. Native instruments mixed with metal) Italy: NanowaR of Steel - Heavy Metal Kibbles (Though this band makes its music with humor in mind, it still really slaps) Japan: Maximum The Hormone - Zetsobou Billy (A progressive masterpiece of a band. If you've seen Deathnote, they might sound familiar) Netherlands: Heidevolk - A Wolf In My Heart (An iconic folk metal band from the Netherlands) Norway: DImmu Borgir - Counsil of Wolves and Snakes (A very symphonic black metal band, and an icon of their genre in the north) Poland: Decapitated - Kill The Cult (If you like groove metal, these are your guys. This slaps hard) Russia: Stardown - Pray For Nothing (Russian take on a mix between thrash and death metal) Scotland: Alestorm - Keelhauled (You like pirates? You like metal? These are the guys for you) South Africa: Seether (Not the hardest band around, but they are like a harder version of the Foo Fighters) Sweden: Opeth - Ghost of Perdition (When progressive metal hits just right. This song is iconic in the northern metal scene) Switzerland: Irony of Fate - Six Feet Deep (This is the land of the female vocalists, and this is no exception. Both growls and screams) Ukraine: Jinjer - Pisces Live Version (Another female vocalist, and her voice is as beautiful as her face. And the growls, oh lawd) Wales: Skindred - Nobody (If you think raggae and metal sounds like an odd mix, you have not tried these guys) I hope this list finds its' way to you, and you find something you fancy on it.

I saw The Hu open for Megadeth a few months ago. Such an incredible experience to see live

Luv it! Always open to new music and performers. Been a fan of the Hu, for years, but will have to check the Chinese and Madagascan groups out. So exciting!

Glad to see The Hu in there! Still think Eluveitie would be a fun one to look at if this continues as a series or as the Swiss entry for the metal band from every country :)

I would love to see this as a series. Probably wouldn’t have found Bloodywood if it weren’t for part one of this.

still waiting for this to be a series, super fun to watch and discover all this new music :)

The Hu live are insane im not even their fan but i was more impressed by them than i was with megadeth(the Hu opened for Megadeth a few months ago)

These all hit different. Definitely looking in to a few of them. Maybe too big at this point but Eluveitie from Switzerland. Especially earlier albums when they had like 10 members gaulish lyrics, hurdy gurdys, flutes, storytelling they're one of my favorites.

The HU are dope. Saw them live in 2019. It was amazing.

the scream at 9:04 😶 stevie that was amazing, you should definitely include this type of vocals in your songs, I didn’t know you could do that

This series would be awesome. Please do! I love metal from other countries, been listening to the Hu for years now-but definitely gonna check out these others here. Perfect video, Stevie T. 👏🤘 Love that you’re appreciative of other cultures & their abilities to rock. True musician, my man!

Sir Terryberry I really feel you should give West-Africa a shot. Arka'n Asrafokor - Tears of the Dead

As a Chinese metalhead I'm really glad that Stevie mentioned Tengger Cavalry. It's actually the project from Zhang TianRan aka Nature as the front man in this band. He started it 12 years ago in China then he went to US and had new members from other countries. Sadly, Nature was found dead in his car last year due to undisclosed causes.He was only 29 years old. If you are into Inner Mongolian folk metal, Tengger Cavalry definitely worth a try. Nine Treasure is another band with similar style from China. Highly recommend.

That Irish Band was so great. The riffing, the vocals, everything sounded so goood 😀 Did not expect that. Was expecting Whistles and Bodhran metal ;-)

Im down for more of these videos adding them to my Playlists was well needed.

Stevie is opening our ears to the many possibilities of metal...and we love it.

I'm taiwanese and I'm so proud of that we have "CHTHONIC" this metal band. The singer of CHTHONIC is also a well known legislator in Taiwan. He is actually work in taiwan's parliament now .....and he has been survived from the thousands of parliament fights in Taiwan

thank you for introducing me to new bands

Yooooo these are so awesome!!!

Definitely do a global metal speed run! I suggest Wagakki from Japan. They combine metal with traditional Japanese instruments and music

YES!! You included The Hu! I was very excited when I saw that 😀 The band from Ireland was amazing...but those poor people just walking around must have been so lost seeing some dude walking around screaming 🤣 It was super entertaining to watch. I'm so happy you did a part 2. There is some amazing talent out there. Today I'm on session #3 of my tattoo sleeve. Wish me luck! I hope you have an amazing weekend! Thank you for being awesome 💛😊

This is 1,000,000% SICK! all this talent and exquisite music from around the world. DO MORE!!!

10:24 Haha. Lone Woof.

The best concept ever Stevie! this is to showcase every metal band in different countries... I'm sure you'll hit 3M subscribers or more. 🤘

2:11 “their music slammed so hard their mosh pit died” killed me🤣

This is so much fun. In the early 2000s when I was a noob on the internet I spent so much time looking for gothic rock and metal from different countries. I'm still so happy to find new bands from all over the world. Cheers.

Love your Channel

Please check Tunisian band Myrath and their song Merciless Times. The band slaps so hard and that's my favorite song of theirs!

If Steve ever makes a part 3, I'd recommend Inchaos from China, they also have no business slamming hard and the vocalist's high voice simply blends in well.(vocalist has a history of Chinese opera) 10/10 they need more recognition for being so good.

Amazing video. Thank you. You should check "mawang - kasih sayang kepada orang tua" - too metal.

Love the idea

it's cool to see how other cultures use the template of heavy metal and infuse their own take on it and how amazing it sounds. really enjoyed these two videos.

I think this series is a great idea, and you should totally check out bands from every country. (If you can) I love hearing metal that's so different from what is considered "metal" here.

been listening to The Hu for several years now, they are so good! I really love it when they a collab with Jacoby Shaddix.

I don't know if you will continue this series but I guess I'll recommend you some bands from places that I don't believe have been touched. I'll try to go for more folk metal style bands since you get a taste of the culture and/or history/mythology with it. You have been trying to avoid European bands sure, since at least Western Europe and Russia have pretty big scenes, but there's definitely gonna be alot of bands from there. Brazil: Sepultura is pretty big, mainly a thrash metal band, they had the folk metal and nu metal clash around the time of Roots. Ratamahatta is a pretty good example of this as they also speak Portuguese in that one. Japan: Wagakki Band is probably the signature folk metal band there, though ironically enough I've yet to hear a metal Vtuber sing anything from these guys, just Bae and Kronii. They're part of the Angurra Kei scene of visual kei, which usually denotes more traditional clothes and sounds....or WWII clothes apparently, but lets not talk about that. Tunisia: Myrath is a progressive metal band with Arabic influences in their music as well, guessing North Africa is full of this. South Africa: Vulvodynia is a deathcore band with lots of slam influences and lyrics generally being typical gross-out stuff you used to see in deathcore, think Waking The Cadaver. Well there was also Mob Justice where they talked about the bad parts of South Africa. There's also Xalveg, which was more of a meme project. Russia: While Slaughter to Prevail is probably the country's biggest metal band, Epidemia is power metal, Abominable Putridity is big for slam metal, and Radio Tapok got personally endorsed by Sabaton, Arkona is the folk metal band here so they're gonna be the main one here, though StP did talk about Baba Yaga once and frequently sings in Russian if that counts for anything. Arkona sings in Russian and continuously talks about Russian or Slavic folk lore, they're apparently more popular outside of Russia for those reasons. Israel: Orphaned Land is pretty similar to Myrath mentioned earlier but they tend to talk more about Jewish folklore instead. Switzerland: Eluveitie combines Celtic folk metal with more Swedish influenced melo-death. And from there, they tend to talk about Celtic folklore, usually of the Gaulish, a Celtic tribe that I think comes from what we now know as France. Special mention goes to Cellar Darling which does the same thing as it's formed by former members of Eluveitie, but with progressive metal instead of melo-death. Spain: Mägo de Oz, or The Wizard of Oz in English, is another Celtic folk band with more of a power metal edge to it this time around. Unlike the Swiss bands they basically only sing in their native Spanish though. Norway: Enslaved is probably one of the few black metal bands I actually like. They're pioneers of Viking Metal, as it's known, as they focus most of their lyrics on vikings and Norse mythology. They got more straight up progressive metal as time went on though and mostly sing in English now as opposed to Norwegian, Old Norse or any other Scandinavian language really. Not a metal band but special mention goes to Wardruna, a dark viking folk project from some ex members of Gorgoroth. Argentina: Rata Blanca, or white rat in English, is a heavy/power metal band who much like Mägo de Oz, also sing in Spanish. Finland: Though Nightwish is one of my favorite metal bands and they've adopted a more folk metal sound once Floor Jansen became the singer, Amorphis fits better here due to basing much of their lyrics on the Kalevala, basically the national epic poem. Aside from that, they're more of a progressive death metal band kinda like Opeth used to be but with more folk and melo-death elements added in as well. Portugal: Moonspell is basically what happens when you take folk metal and mix it with gothic metal. Indonesia: Well for starters they seem to have quite an extensive death metal scene down there seemingly caused by some social disruption in the 90s. Though regardless, Purgatory is one such band. They were initially part of the death metal scene, but later moved on to more of a nu metal/prog band like Mudvayne.

The HU is amazing to see live. They sound like they do on RU-vid but more energy. I recommend you see them.

Love this series! The Hu is one of the biggest bands from Mongolia and probably the most popular amongst the throat music genre. They were on tour pre-pandemic. Check out their website for their latest.

Just saw The Hu live, as they opened up for Megadeth & Five Finger Death Punch, and they blew me away. If you want to revisit this topic sometime, you should listen to Orphaned Land, from Israel.

If you ever decide to go back to places. Some of my favorite artists are from Australia. Really think you should check out ocean grove (rhapsody tapes specifically) thornhill, or northlane

That speedrun would be epic. Acouple of suggestions: for Poland check out "Batushka", for Israel check out "Orphand Land". Both incredible bands and should definetly get more worldwide recognision. Thanks Stevie!!

I suggest to check out these bands too: - Padra (From Iran) - Forestionist (From Iran) - Pointed Mutation (From Iran) - District Unknown (From Afghanistan) - Kabul Dreams (From Afghanistan) Thanks a lot Steve 😘🤘🏽🙏🌹

Really cool video. Thx for mentionning madagascar. Thx a lot for sharing.

Such an amazing idea man..Yeah, we do dig such video's. BTW, try Bangladeshi metal as well, I hope you'll like it 🤘

The HU is actually one of my favorite bands, they're really cool guys they covered Sad But True and Through The Never actually! I love 'em, man. Got me interested in Mongolian culture. (also Stevie, that "two stringed djent machine" is called a morin khuur or horse-head fiddle, and the other one is a tovshuur.)

Wow another presentation of bands that are just amazing. Bringing their own cultures and instruments to the music is just epic. I will definitely have to check these bands out and add new songs to my playlist. I think a speed metal run would be amazing! Awesome video as always. Love you so much!😍

More of this Steve!!! Costa Rica please, Fractal Sun.

Im happy to see that everyone loves metal and is contributing whether they need to be or not. Good call on the guy in the crowd to just go out and start screaming lol i could watch that all day.

As an Irish person I'm dying with how people reacted on the street😂 Although I'm slightly not surprised not the usual around here to see people make music vids on the street nevermind it be metal but the music was pretty damn good 🤘

A bunch of people have already suggested bands for Japan, but, I'd recommend a different one: MergingMoon. They're heavy af, but also melodic. And Maximum The Hormone is also super unique with their genre-combining

Thanks to my awesome wife for introducing me to your channel man. Immediately subscribed after watching the Nickelback video. Is it just me or does that Australian band remind you of Killswitch Engage when Howard was lead singer?

Need another episode of this! I recommend Madmans Esprit from South Korea :)

The thing I like the most of some of these bands is when they also include their traditional instruments or sounds.

Hey Stevie, you should check out "Villagers of Ioannina City". They are from Greece and their music is heavily influenced by traditional Greek songs.

Hello and greetings from Finland 🇫🇮. First of all, I want to thank you for these videos where you present metal music from different countries. through this I found something new to listen to 🥳🤟🤟. I myself want to suggest you some good bands and from here in my home country. I guess you like a slightly heavier mood? try Nightwish - tribal, Nightwish - you are the empty hope, Sonata Artica- black diamond, Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars. Swedes also have insanely good metal bands, eg Sabaton - christmas truce, Sabaton -Bismarch, Nocturnal Rites - still alive. The best known of German metal is Rammstein. Their hits include Mother, Du Hast, Angel. Let me know, if you try any of these bands. btw, I subscribed to your channel, you have some interesting videos here😉🤟

This was a very interesting video. Great to see other countries interpretation of metal. I enjoyed them all.

I love how a lot of these bands embrace their traditional instruments into their songs.

I loved to see Cemican representing Mexico! If you continue with this series of metal from all over the world I recommend you Rata Blanca - "La Leyenda del Hada y el Mago" from Argentina, it's an old song from 1990 but it still rocks.

Hey man. Cool video! I'd love to watch a series out of these videos. It's totally sick!!! I would like if you could make a review on Spain. Specifically the band "Warcry" on their music video "Huelo El Miedo". Their songs are pretty dope and I just love em. I'm not even Spaniard, but they're my favorites. Peace!

Yo Stevie. We were totally amazed about the different metal styles from all those countries. We love your idea of making a serie about it. And my stephdaughter and I know you like Djent a lot. Then you have to checkout TEXTURES from the Netherlands 🇳🇱. This band has everything. One of the best drummers there is, sick vocals, very djentie guitar riffs but all in their own style. You really need to checkt it out. 🤘🏻

The Hu's 2 string instrument is a Mongolian instrument called the Morin Khuur used by a bow.

The "two string djent machine" in The Hu and Tengger Cavalry is a horse head cello, or Mongolian cello. The Chinese name is Matouqin 马头琴, Mongolian name is Morin Khuur.

Is there's any part 3 of this ? Really love this kind of metal when the song had traditional sound instrument blended together.

For Taiwan there is Chthonic. Great band. Great series Stevie, love finding bands from places you wouldn't expect to have a big metal scene.

Few great countries and bands you are missing: 1. Japan: Babymetal - Megitsune 2. Bangladesh: Severe Dementia - Credence of Fort William 3. Ukraine: Jinjer - Pisces 4. Russia: Kartikeya - Sarva Mangalam 5. Singapore: Rudra - Hymns from the Blazing Chariot 6. India: Syphilectomy - Sadomasochistic Haemophilia India on repeat? Just that the band mentioned is awesome 😆

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone already mentioned this, but in case they didn’t, The Hu made a version of the song you listened to with extra vocals from Danny Case of From Ashes to New. I highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it yet!

One of the Southeast Desert Metal band members looked to have on a Led Zeppelin shirt. I never noticed that until now. -Connor Hernandez from Specctrumn

Dude, some of your commentary is comedic genius. I'm cracking up. But also being introduced to some crazy metal. 🤘🤘

One band that is amazing that not many people know about is a band from Taiwan called Chthonic. They are described as the Taiwanese black sabbath, and a lot of their songs deal with current political issues going on in Taiwan. Plus their lead vocalist is also a politician and a really cool guy as well

I suggest you listen to the band called Pentagram/Mezarkabul from Turkey. Personally, my advice to you might be "Fly forever" or "Lions in a cage". Fly forever has some seriously impressive guitar percussions and a solo. However, on the other hand, Lions in a cage is sung by a vocalist that I am quite sure you will like very much, and it also harbors timbres unique to Turkish music.

Please do more of these fucking gold.

So many you could check out... Switzerland: Eluveitie - Inis Mona, Germany: Varg - Achtung, Samoa: Shepherd's Reign - Le Manu, Brazil: Semblant - Incinerate... Check them out. 🤘

Dude, please please please keep doing this. I absolutely love your commentary, it is genuinely hillarious. Most of all though some of these bands you've introduced me to are amazing and I've found a ton of new music from these videos! DO ANOTHER ONE PLEASE!

This is a GREAT idea. Loved it since the first one. I agree with Matthew, this needs to become a series. More please! 🤘🎸😃

Check out the following bands I also enjoy: Cradle of Fillth:England Lacuna Coil: Italy (Listen to Swamped and Our truth) Ghost: Sweden (you probably already know about them but they're currently one of my favorite bands) BABYMETAL: Japan (listen to Karate, PA PA YA, and Kingslayer with Bring me the Horizon I need to check out the Hu's cover of Sad but True and I've listened to Wolf Totem with Jacoby from Papa Roach (it's pretty good. ) Slaughter to Prevail : Russia (listen to Baba Yaga) Rammstein(Germany) Thanks Steve, great video, you should do more like this. Have a good night and thanks for sharing. Yeah this needs to be a series! I'd be interested in knowing what other global metal bands are out there that aren't Metallica, Linkin Park Korn and disturbed (though those are some of my all time favorites!)

Dude that first one reminds me of tuletalgud by the estonian band metastoll, even tho everything else is playing full volume the woodwind still comes through and it just nails it!🤘

Hell yeah Stevie. Hearing all those bands from around the world is so refreshing. Would love to see even more of them. Great idea with turning this into a mini series

This was great, both times! I would really dig having a series like this to look forward too. These bands were all different, awesome sounding, and had their own unique voices and ideas. Much love to all those bands. Thanks, Stevie! Great vid!

Stevie! If you plan on making another list, add Skyforger (from Latvia)

Hey, would really be curious to see you reacting to Smash Hit Combo, a French metal band !! Love your content, just keep going !

Stevie, id actually love to see you dedicate an episode featuring multiple videos per country. Just one episode for an entire country. You can do it alphabetically or bounce around. But a lot of countries have more than one good metal band.

I have a suggestion: White Ward, a band from the Ukraine with a really cool blend of genres. Not that many metal bands have a saxophone player :) First song of them I heard was Love Exchange Failure, highly recommend!

Love these vids! Suggestions: Mortal Kombat from Serbia, Pale Origins from Croatia

Make some more of these!

A couple of more tips: Jinjer from Donetsk, Ukraine; I saw them live in Sweden this summer, apparently they have received a permission from the ministry of culture to go on tour as cultural ambassadors. AlNamrood from Saudi Arabia; the most badass black metal band out there, as they literally risk their lives by playing their music.
