Mägo de Oz are spanish(from Spain), only latin american element is their actual vocalist.

Thay are from USA , doesn metter if thay take name from those streams near Chilian cost

Indeed, but they've often been dubbed 'latin metal' (yeah, I know it's stupid), and they're all Hispanic as far as I can tell

Does Puya count?

Yeah, their salsa metal is quite interesting and well executed. They reformed last year and are releasing album Areytos this year.

I am listening on Myspace right now. I always kinda liked em. Remind me a bit of 311 (another nestalgia band for me)

There are many latin american heavy metal bands......but as large as I can observe in my country there is a strong underground scene that remains unknow for most people..
When people hear heavy metal they often say: this is good......Thefore Reggaeton is still the most popular musical genre.. and metal bands remain undereground and unsigned.

There is such thing as Salsa metal? lol

There is a brutal death band from USA as i remember "Through The Eyes Of The Dead" i think they are latins, plus i love this band

Here are some great bands from Argentina

Tren Loco, Heavy Metal in the style of the NWOBHM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pSVyRKTiRw

Mastifal: Started as a Thrash band, moved to Death on their second album, Melodeath on their third, and the fourth album is a mix of Death Metal, Groove Metal, Metalcore and even Rock. Amazing and creative band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_jMFDssrMs This song also has a Tango intro and outro.

Tungsteno: Old School Thrash band with goofy lyrics about alcohol and moshing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YymDqumKqus

Avernal: Death'n Roll http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyFQXFpUQ6s

Serpentor: Thrash band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfphwyoosl8

Angra incorporate a lot of latin american music into their sound. Sepultura also have done this, which was very unique at the time for an extreme band to be doing. xD

Overall Centeral and South america have been pretty big sized metal grounds so give it more time and they should all be flying high too. I just got my hands on a few bands recently and they're all damn decant.

I also gotta say inquisition is one of the best things to come out of that part of the world!!!!

Brazilian Bands like Sarcofago, Vulcano, and the almighty Sepultura were important in the development of black metal. Mortem, from Peru, has to be THE most underrated Dm band of all time. So many great albums that go unnoticed...

I believe that these bands are good

Rata Blanca is one of the best from here Argentina, then you have Hermetica for example, very good metal.

Please, no. They are ladris
Nah, I don't hate them as many others do, but I don't think they deserve all the attention they get. And they really lost quality over the years.

Maybe, but form here Argentina they're good.

Brazil has one of my favorite thrash scenes \m/
I can honestly say that I have only heard maybe one thrash band from there that I didn't like..
I also enjoy some heavy metal from Argentina like V8 or Rata Blanca. As for the rest of South America I am not too familiar with the bands.

Well the metal scene here in mexico is pretty good, although they arent to popular so thats why most bands are never heard of, anyways i've been to acouple of black metal concerts here and its not bad, not bad at all, and its not just black metal, there are a couple of good thrash bands among others, if you guys wanna you can search for,
Yaotl Mictlan
Helvete
Agony Lords
Tortura
Nahual Tli
Facebreaker
Agonica
El Cuervo De Poe

Some great music comes from Latin America. I love the different latin sound.

Nostra Morte from Mexico is a quite good female fronted gothic band, singing in spanish.
