    BURNING EFFIGY. Local band a good friend of mine is in. They don't get a whole lot of credit because our local scene revolves a lot around old school death and thrash and they're trying to break that mold just a little, but their sound is great. They're in studio right now, but here's the first song my friend/their lead guitarist wrote for them.

    https://youtu.be/gWIQoHIyCUQ

    SCYTHIA is also a pretty sweet local band. More on the power/folk side of things, but prime stuff.

    In Houston we have Helstar...say no more.


    Jessikill is a young band out of San Antonio who are trying to keep classic metal alive. Love these kids. They put on a great live show and also have a side band that does Dio and Priest covers. The singer is powerful and the guitarist is incredible. I support them every chance I get.

    Cool idea for a thread! Here's a couple of my local favorites.

    Profaner - Melodic Death/Thrash Metal from Hamilton, Ontario. These guys just represented Canada and finished as runners up in the Wacken Metal Battle this year. Been a big fan of these guys for a few years, it's great to see them getting a little bit of recognition now. Here is one of their songs from the Canadian Wacken Metal Battle Finals show.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paXRuaZJ70U

    Vesperia - Epic Folk/Death Metal from Toronto, Ontario. This band represented Canada last year at Wacken and won the whole thing. Great live band. Here is one of my favorite songs of their last full length.

    Oh man, this is brilliant! I second the Scythia rec, they're excellent.

    Some of my other faves are:

    Skymir: Blackened folk metal that slays live:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3_rwiDreBY

    Every Hour Kills: I'm having a hard time picking a genre for these guys. It's kind of like what would happen if latter-day Kamelot and Born of Osiris had a very melodic baby? A little?
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOnwNzw8q70

    Viathyn: These guys do (*did, I guess they're on indefinite hiatus now) some really sweet prog metal.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDL26Jl-Vt4

    Shotgunner: Kinda death metal with a "apocalyptic Wild West as seen through the eyes of a MASSIVE alcoholic" theme. I'm not making that up- they're pretty hilarious. A couple of them are also 70k survivors, though I don't think any of them are on the forums.

    Fuck yeah dude! Those guys rule!

    I'll add 2 other bands from the Toronto area I dig:

    Crimson Shadows. Melodic Death Metal they have a fantasy swords and sorcery type of theme to them. They battle hard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJh7fSr0cRc

    Panzerfaust. Its Black metal done how it should be. Hell of a stage show too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kti6soyL3w4

    Blackguard : Now a international band, with a crazy attitude - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEuPbDOFxow

    The Agonist : Old band of Alissa White-Gluz, they have found a new gem in Vicky, but I loved them even more with Alissa :( - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jud_SnKTlY

    Distoriam : Less know band that dable in Folk Historic Metal, pretty good :) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk1MSW2QNAg

    Sanguine Glacialis : Discovery of 2013 as far as home metal goes, these guys blew me away at a 3IOB concert, didn't know them before that and I had to learn more about them. Amazing melody - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMU9Sai-CjY

    Montreal has so many great local bands, I could go on like this for a while.

    A few good bands from what I call home now (Moldova) and it's neighbor sharing the same language (Romania):


    Moldovan bands:
    Harmasar (folk metal)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDs0ohXVoTg

    Busola (stoner metal)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix63bqc ... anIJZ2waFM

    Romanian bands:
    Dirty Shirt ("crossover folkcore metal" is how they put it on their FB page)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db-ho-Bael8

    Bucovina (folk metal)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXylM5G_h60

    E-an-na (folk metal)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtPe7NZkIKU

    Yes folk metal is a thing here and I must say like that mix of local folk music and metal !
    If you have to try just one of these bands make it "Dirty Shirt" they're my personnal favorites from that list :)
