The Geography of METAL around the world (Geography Now)

[@GeographyNow]

What do Vikings, South African Sowetho tribesmen, and hijab-wearing school girls all have in common? They all love METAL! Oh and did you know KEITH is part Brazilian? YEAH! Today I wanted to discuss about the global Metal community and how it has developed on every inhabited continent. Plus, it's good to learn more about the GN crew you've grown to love on the show, and what better way than to put KEITH in his element with an episode on MUSIC and METAL?! Whoo hoo! Enjoy!

And I think the amount of time spent on every continent was more or less the same (at least in my opinion, I didn't try to see for myself xD).

[@Wischmoppkopp]

I was a liiittle bit disappointed that you showed pictures of the band Orphaned Land from Israel, but didn't mention their name and the amazing story that evolved around this band. They're all about dialogue, peace and unity between the different people and religions in the Middle East, incorporating various traditional instruments, different languages (English, Hebrew, Arabic, Turkish, Yemenite, ...) and fusing styles like progressive metal, (middle eastern) folk music or even hebrew prayer chants. Their music is quite unique, they're really good in terms of technique (without being too technical) and have a serious message. Not my overall favorite band or artist (might be Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson - Opeth, Rush and Pink Floyd are also strong contenders), but they easily make my top 20 (also live, had the chance of seeing them twice here in Germany).

[@Tedris4]

Mixing traditional instruments with metal is also done a ton in Europe as well as South East Asia. The genre is called Folk Metal. Examples include Eluvetie, Korpiklaani, Saor, Cruachan, Finntroll, Skyclad, Alestorm and way more.

Hey great video! I have bachelor’s degrees in international geography and soon music, and my geography capstone project in 2016 was on the geography of metal. So if you ever need data I collected from metal-archives in 2016 haha, I’ve got it for every country on number of bands, per capita, and breakdown by subgenre so you can really see some sonic and lyrical trends and disparity around the world. Plus crappy maps I made on ArcGIS. I’ve also got theories why like for example Sweden has produced so many metal bands possibly due to a strong social system and support for the arts, while Indonesia hasn’t produced the number of bands but has created so much brutal death metal maybe partially in reaction to past government instability. Anyways, I’m always so happy to see this subject covered so thank you very much!

Stas Hable thanks dude!

[@dickyardiansyah4017]

Jasad!

[@Iobiarg]

you should make your capstone project public

[@dajoey2198]

didn't expect you would research my president's favorite music genre 😂 nice one!

[@sourovdas5280]

This one was my all time favourite episode. And I've seen them all.

[@hide904]

I can't stop freaking out how excited I am that they're talking about metal.

[@ZaidPhyre]

I'm so happy that Keith is an Opeth fan. They're my favorite band.

[@Kid222]

Al Namrood are definitely the most metal, for being under constant threat of death, yet still playing and recording new albums \m/

[@DiMadHatter]

Really interesting subject. Inviting your friends to talk about one of their passion, both in their hearth and on earth, is a great idea! Hope to see other episodes like that soon! :) keep on rockin'!

[@Bush0r]

Bloodywood and The Hu are effing awesome

[@joeanderson6665]

Love seeing the real Keith and not just the act he plays in other videos! Awesome!

[@allpaths4836]

Kieth has an unbelievably good taste in music

[@guilhermecastro9893]

you didnt mention the most famous portuguese metal band GOD DAMN MOONSPELL

[@TheUnusualSuspect]

Great video guys! I'd love to see more like these; where you could expand into other genres and bring on an expert in that particular genre. The Geography of Rap would be really interesting to see.

[@岩の下駅]

Definitely interested in that! Greetings from a metalhead 🤘

[@presto569]

The Unusual Suspect metal is better

[@ornasraditya9444]

Thx for mentioning metal scenes from South East Asia, greetings from Indonesia!

[@Aryaitaly]

Greetings from a very depressed metal band from Italy!

[@crisistian_]

They cited Meshuggah and Skyharbor. DJENT OVERTAKES THE WORLD

[@LucaPasini]

@@crisistian_ As long as people will feel the need to rebel to their society there will be some kind of metal music alive!

[@peffify]

Fleshgod Apocalypse rules!

[@Aryaitaly]

@@peffify Probably the most famous Italian band worldwide is Lacuna Coil, but there are many bands here playing most kinds of metal music. The main issues of the Italian scene are that the audience is very small, and it's difficult for bands to play gigs in front of many people, and for venues to survive. Also most bands are still playing the same kind of music that used to be popular decades ago.

[@alessandrat7806]

What I like the most about metal music is that in many occasions bands take inspiration from literature (especially ancient one), folklore or pop culture for their lyrics. This takes music to a whole different level

[@Luke-qu2hv]

That song “Wolf Totem” by the Hu is awesome! Thanks for sharing. I found it on Apple Music

[@kyonkochan]

Oh man, you guys mentioned so many foreign metal bands I love. Curious if Keith found out about Maximum the Hormone through Death Note's second opening. Also shout out to fellow The Hu fans, they're such a tight act from Mongolia and I really hope they explode on the global metal scene.

[@31rafa]

I'm reading your comment: " I really hope they explode ..." whaat?! "...on the global metal scene." ah, ok.

[@joshuaamberson5266]

Dir En Grey is a sick Japanese Heavy Metal band, I would highly recommend listening to them. Kyo (Lead Singer) has an awesome vocal-range, check it out.

[@baddayoverdosed]

Top of my list! Got to see them tour with the Deftones about 10 yens ago and I was hooked!

[@ankushdas2980]

this was something new. off the beaten track.....need more videos like this

[@krisizcelja]

I don't listen to metal too often, but I find it really interesting that they mix the genre with their culture. Like the traditional Japanese instruments, or Mongolian throat singing. I LOVE THAT!!

[@australianmade86]

It's a common practice all over the world. One of my favourite aspects of metal is the diversity of sounds
