So whether the music is better from here or not, it seems like it's more popular in the US, imo. Not saying that is true but it just seems like metal is more appreciated in the US than it is over here.
I imagine it's just moron Americans with shallow metal tastes who think that cause Killswitch Engage or whatever is popular in America that their corny metal band will be more popular in Europe. Idiots probably.
