i came to the conclusion, reading your opinions, that certain scenes sometimes lack of "progression/heaviness/speed/catchiness etc,u name it" while other scenes have it...i tend to get agressive with US thrash more than german...but i prefer euro metal to raise my fist and drink my beer...hungarian scene is my fav eastern european scene, cause they try to combine everything from other scenes BUT IN THEIR LANGUAGE!
i like vectom, as well as jag panzer...i would never break the balance of the heavy metal force in the world

OK, so not only Fucking Åmål can stand Vectom it seems. That's surprising to me, but I am happy for you I guess... They are still probably the worst heavy metal band I ever heard on a record.

I find most of the modern groove metal or bands like filth or dimmu a lot worse than Vectom. To make it clear, I don't find the band anything special (average and generic band imo) but I just can't see why it is THAT bad.

Whilst I really like the French scene the most & a lot of German stuff (& bits of Eastern European), I find a lot of 'Euro Power (Thrash) Metal' very happy & gallopy sounding, especially the choruses.
& it's one thing that always turned me off a lot of those 'Fucking Amal' rave bands..
You very rarely get any US Metal sounding like that...
Yes the US had an over-kill of glam/psuedo-glam power/thrash bands, but the songs and sound was always waaaaaay tougher and more serious than the plethora of pre & post-Helloween/Gamma Gay bands!
...most of those Euro bands wore spandex and had shocking hair-do's anyway, that mixed with the happy/average vocal songs wasn't really very tough in my eyes/ears...
This is all my opinion!
BTW - Brainfever rule!

Anyone here like Mephisto? Their debut is great power/speed with some pretty thrashy moments.

Who says that they have to be black?
Look at some of the spandex Dickinson wore in the Maiden videos and he still makes it look "metal" as fuck.

Yes, check out BRESLAU, the first German metal band to sing in German.
I'd like to add CARRIE to the list of underrated German bands. Probably
the best female-fronted speed metal band.
