[QUOTE="BestialOnslaught:166155"]Sorry, but that last bit is just entirely ignorant. They have very active underground scenes in many countries in South America. I trade with labels/distros in S. America, and get mailorder from there. Their titles are usually from S. American bands, but not always - labels down there put out releases by bands from anywhere from Japan to Portugal - as well as the plentiful native S. American bands. They send me show fliers, which are often really pro-looking, occasionally for bands I've heard of, more frequently for others I have not, as there are many active bands in some cities down there. They lack exposure in the press in the US and Europe for the large part, and don't have the funds to tour here in most cases. You accuse me of exaggerating the amount of metalcore on the bill of the fest in hand, yet you have the nerve to totally marginalize an entire continent's contribution to music by comparing it to our smallest state. I'm not gonna go so far as to say it's racist, but to assume that some how the culture of South America is so foreign and out of touch with the rest of the world that there couldn't possibly be an energetic, fresh, and active metal scene there is extremely US/Eurocentric. Yeah, the economy's don't allow for as much activity in some areas, but many of these countries are very much a part of the modern, "civilized" world. Just a small list of Metal bands from South America who have put stuff out on US and/or Euro labels, off the top of my head... I'm sure others could contribute a number of bands: SEPULTURA SARCOFAGO RATOS DE PORAO MYSTIFIER MASACRE HADEZ ROT MORTEM KRISIUN REBAELLION APOCALPTIC RAIDS/APOKALYPTIC RAIDS INQUISITION FARSCAPE AMMIT GOAT SEMEN Blah, that's just the slightest sample... Point is, you couldn't be further from the truth about metal in South America.[/QUOTE]
