Answers:
Ok, first of all, death metal WAS NOT CREATED IN EUROPE, can't you hear the pumeling rhythms, European metal bands concentrate on the melody!. Black metal was created there though!.

As for metal in general being more popular in Europe, I don't think most people have the general perception most Americans have!. From what I've seen, most Americans think heavy metal is just some dude screaming his lungs out, while having loud guitars, bass and drums in the background, with satanic themes!. Many more think heavy metal is dead, and it "died" with the advent of Nirvana, and grunge in general (then again, grunge is a fusion between 70s heavy metal (and some 80s to), and the brand "new" genre of alternative rock, before it was called such)!. Then came nu metal, and some think its just about a guy yelling **** on every song (which is true for many nu metal bands anyways, but not all)!. also, heavy metal is heavily censored (along with hip hop) in the US, while it seems to be pretty free flowing in Europe (again, this is based on my observations, from what I've asked to Europeans who have moved to the US)!. also, Europe seems to be very liberal and open-minded, while the US is not as much (case of point, many brutal death metal bands sounding like Cannibal Corpse and Immolation, and many deathcore bands sounding like Job for a Cowboy, All Shall Perish, and more recently, Waking the Cadaver)!. While the European bands try to do their own thing while not forgetting who inspired them!. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying US, Canadian, and Mexican bands aren't original, some of the most innovative stuff comes from these 3 countries, versus the 10+ countries in Europe constantly producing metal, but these 3 countries are also where some of the most repetitive stuff come from, sadly!. As for Europe, from what I've gathered, they mostly like melodic power metal bands, i!.e!., super soft metal bands like Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica and Nightwish (not bad by any means, but that doesn't take away the fact that they are soft)!. Besides, American audiences are a bit more listen-to-what I feel right now, while Europeans seem to enjoy listening to bands long term!.


I would like to state that I have lived between the US, Canada and Mexico for a great deal of my life (I spend most of my time in the US either way)!. The parts where I talk about Europe are based on conversations I've had with many Europeans, particularly Finns, Germans and British folks!. I would like to apologize if I've misinterpreted some, if not all, of the information regarding your place of residence!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

okey dokey, very simple question!.

the reason why it's so popular there, is because it heavy metal origionated in europe!.

the very first "metal" band, Black Sabbath was started in Birmingham, England!.

and my spelling might be a little off :DWww@Enter-QA@Com

i believe genres like death and black metal were invented in europe, so theyve had more time to popularize themselves there!. umm thats all i could think would make it more popular!. and what the sh!tt!est part about it is, is that all the good american bands DONT TOUR IN AMERICA!!! they go over to europe and australia and all these other places, NEVER AMERICA THOUGH!Www@Enter-QA@Com

because their not bombarded with the never ending stream of CRAP that we get here in the states!. american record labels here sign and promote the hell out of people with little or no talent and people are so obsessed with whats popular they buy it!. musically i think i would be much happier over there than here!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
