Best band from your home town/city

@Prowler: Maaaaaybe.... Hans Gerber sounds familiar, and I know I've had an old copy of the Torture mini which I traded. Not familiar with Hateful Rage tho'
...and the Acis 7" was pretty great now that you mention it.

@Peter: Poor man.. your local scene must have been awful if High Tension topped the list

High Tension is quite ok as far as I remember. Need to listen to them again I guess.

[Draggsoda]

Entombed (Boring but true)

If I had to choose from only the part (suburb) of Sthlm where I live, then...

Celestial Pain or Incursion

[Prowler]

First 2 High Tensions are listenable. Unfortunately they got softer with each album but shot the bird with the last one. The cover speaks for itself.

[Le fjump]

Arrow
Metal mercy

Probably the three most famous.

Never heard this phrase before. Is it German and traduced? To shoot the bird ... What does it mean?

My old home town was so small it didn't have a single rock or metal band.

From my current home town: Most will probably claim Ghost, but I will say Axe Witch.

Yes, Axe Witch is better

Just from the context i'm guessing he meant they went too far, like 'jumping the shark'.
Here in Scotland we have a similar saying 'shoot the crow', but here it means you're leaving or going home.
'It's 3am & i'm so drunk i can't see straight, i think it's time i shot the crow'.
There's also a similar sounding Scots phrase, 'taking the crow road', but that means someone is dying.
'You shouldn't have let him leave at 3am when he was so drunk. He was found lying in the snow this morning. He's taken the crow road'.
Don't know where either phrase originates from, but although 'old school' they're still used often.

I thought it's a common phrase everywhere.
"to shoot the bird" means you've done something really stupid, like dressing in women's clothes or anything that makes others doing that facepalm thing, because it's unbelievable (stupid).

And I/we (Germans) don't know that "jumping the shark" or "shoot the crow" stuff either.

LOL, shooting the bird to me is flipping someone the middle finger

Nothing wrong with that.

John lives a few streets over from me so I guess Arch/Matheos qualifies for Coventry, CT
