I would love to see this become a series!

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.

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. :(

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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*

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.

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!

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

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 :)

thank you for introducing me to new bands

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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)

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.

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

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

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.

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

Yooooo these are so awesome!!!

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.

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!!

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

Love the idea

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.

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. 🤘

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.

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

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

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

Love your Channel

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

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.

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.

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

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

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 💛😊

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

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!🤘

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

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

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

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

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!😍

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 😘🤘🏽🙏🌹

Make some more of these!

I've seen The HU live and they sound like how they do in the studio. It's amazing. That's one of the songs they played too

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

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 🤘

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

I never thought Mongolian overtone would work so well for metal but it totally does omg

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

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

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.

that vibrato Steve puts on Rainmaker is impeccable

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.)

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.

Please do more of these fucking gold.

First one reminded me of Lamia by Lord Belial, the flute part

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! 🤘🎸😃

Yooooo that "Ilenkus" song goes haaaaarrrrd, hope those guys make it big.

Stevie please i need more music for my playlist

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

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!

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.

That video from Ireland was amazing.

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

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.

This has been one of my favorite video ideas so far. I'm amazed at how much I enjoy some of the foreign melodies. Definitely would love to see more!

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?

On the Hu, the 2 stringed instrument is a Morin Khuur. Its like a cello, but a box shape and has 2 strings, and has a horse’s head at the top.

Eluveitie is a Swiss folk metal band from Winterthur, Zürich. Their song Inis Mona has the coolest solo with the smoothest transition I've ever heard!

Making this a series would be a perfect way to discover a bunch of new music!

Dude you had me crying this whole video, legendary commentary. That loose yourself moment made me lose it lmao. Recommend Chthonic(pronounced Thonic) - Oceanquake epic song, their from Taiwan.

Holy shit! Ilenkus played with my band when we played Ireland, they were really good, kinda reminded us of Dillinger

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.

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.

Make this a series 😄

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

1:12 That entry for the flute is killer !!
