Non-English-speaking metal bands

There are so many out there, and the good thing about "foreign" metal is that you can enjoy it without having a clue what they're singing about. The aggression, the power, the fun - it's all there. Who cares about the lyrics, really?

Someone turned me on to these guys and I was impressed. I mean, how could you not like this?

Finntroll (Finnish, duh) - "Trollhammeren" (translate that!)

Saratoga (Spain) - "Maldito Corozon" (Bad heart? **** knows. I know the second word is heart)

Trust (France) - "Repression"

Why bother doing that? All you have to do is grab some Death Metal.

Not a huge fan of Death Metal. I prefer something I can get into, like this:

Tierra Santa - "Pecado de Angel"

Rammstein was the first non-English band I heard, and I'm sure it's the same for many people.

They will always hold a special place in my heart.

But the first 'Engrish' I heard was probably Moonspell. I went straight from Tony Hawk/ video game metal to gothic doom.

I'm not too big on Rammstein anymore but the debut still rules.
