Ireland's best metal band?

lolivia

Have you heard about ROPER? They managed to get a metal band into the last five bands in the Whelans Brave New Stage competition in April '05 and are turning heads everywhere they play.
Latest news is that they are supporting Mudvayne in the Temple Bar Music Centre on June 1st. Check them out at http://www.roper-music.com where there are three tracks available to download for free!

bombidol

from what i heard of em before they were quite decent

moonboy

...primordial...

Pugsley

Sherman m4 from Galway, unbelievable band.

po0k

Well, from the wesht really.

Mael Mórdha impressed me alot on that Eurostar píss-ripper.
Pulled together a decent Abba cover in sfa time and stuck two fingers right up those bitches' noses.
They should have won, would've made me watch Eurovision for once.

Nothing is Sacred kick ass. Few members of ShermanM4 are in it. And a friend of mine. Already great (espeically for an Irish metal band) and are set to get even better. Keep an eye out.
Can't say I enjoyed that Roper stuff. That metalcore stuff is just monotonous now.

Frosty

Best metal irish band just split
There 2 albums are almost sold out!

Celtic-legacy.com if you wanna check them out.

Praetorian

Metalitia

Ph3n0m

Mass Extinction
Carnival Creation
Inhumane
Revile

Fobia

Nothing is Sacred arent bad, can't say I like their vocals though....

Tazz T

Yup Celtic Legacy by a large margin.

However, Mass Extinction are the future of thrash. They're supporting Nuclear Assault in July. Well worth checking out.

Clearly Xerosun, hands down.

Lawrence1895

I like Cruachan and Mourning Beloveth :cool:

thedevils

Recently pick up xerosuns album and it is absolutely.
Heading to the gig on the 5th, really looking forward to it,


Just heads up thats all really.

thedevils, please note that the post before yours is from 2005. In the intervening five and a half years I'm sure that there have been a few more Irish bands come on the scene and so a new thread is more appropriate.
