American BLACK metal is for nadlickers and wannabes; the genre originated in Norway, and the early albums are so coild, bleak, visual and empty that you can tell what these people could see through their kitchen windows every day. The US tried to copy that feel, and did a piss-poor job of it.
Death metal originated in the States, and we still do it best. Swedish death (old) has a large following, but I think the genre's pretty boring, Swedish death (new) is good and revolves around Hypocrisy and the now defunkt Abyss studios, melodic death (melodeath) has nothing to do with death and sounds more like watered-down black, is also from Sweden and is known as the Gothenburg sound, Polish death has recently become trendy and a bunch of great bands have gotten some well-deserved recognition, Brazilian death is pretty decent, Canadian death is mostly 2 bands and is known as Northern Hyperblast, grindcore is an even more extreme form of death which I hate, as is splattercore, gore, and gore/grind, black metal bands in the early 90s used to call themselves death metal until someone set them straight with their own genre, and Florida is probably still the big US death epicenter, although San Diego and Maryland are competing for the title. Then there's tens of thousands of little garage bands all over the world doing the same thing. Capisce?.
