Why Chicago? Well... Master, War Cry, Death Strike, Cianide... They seem to have a monopoly on some of the most crushing and heavy bands!! Are there any bands I'm missing?!

Yeah, War Cry is quite good. I'm also rather fond of Damien Thorne.

There were loads of great bands, most of the ones I'm familiar with have been mentioned. Slauter Xstroyes deserve to be mentioned even more though. For me, one of the top ten metal bands ever. Hm, or at least in the top 20.

Shok Paris are from Cleveland... They appeared on the Cleveland Metal comp. among other things.
To this list I want to add Winterkill for their first album. Superb stuff.

Scepter's debut is my favorite metal album to come from Chicago.
The Metal Haven farewell show in May was a great night of Chicago metal:
Enforcer
High Spirits
The Chasm
Slauter Xstroyes
Kommandant
Diamond Plate
Empyreus
