Birmingham has got a big, bad metal scene. My local music studio/practise rooms sounds like a medieval torture chamber, screams and clanking music coming from behind every closed door. There are loads of bands around, although they don't generally communicate with each other - bands turn up just in time for showcase slots, play and go home without listening to the other bands, that kinds of thing.
Birmingham's got a history of metal and other heavy music and you can see it's still going strong in the local musicians! I think that tattoo artists make a mint here too.
