I had created another topic similar to this on the old forum "What Canadian Death Metal Band is best?" but now I have decided I want to create a new thread but more broad. Canada is home to many great metal bands especially in the genre of death metal. What Canadian Metal Band do you think is best and why? What is your favorite album by the band? What do you think of the other Canadian bands? Please refrain from picking other if your choice is Rush because I don't want them included in this pole because I don't consider them metal.

I couldn't chose between two bands so my favorite Canadian Metal bands are Quo Vadis and Devin Townsend. Devin Townsend because they put on a great live show and all of their albums are amazing. My favorite Devin Townsend album is Infinity because it has my favorite song by them "Bad Devil". Quo Vadis because they are the best Technical Death Metal band in my opinion. All of their albums are great but my favorite is Defiant Imagination. Their riffs are amazing and Yanic Berciers drumming is untouchable IMO.

Other Canadian bands that I like are Cryptopsy, Into Eternity, Kataklysm, Strapping Young Lad, and Annihilator.

FabricationError Account deleted	Permalink 27.01.2007 - 22:07 FabricationError Account deleted My vote went to Quo Vadis cuz they're my fav. band.The Drummer is a drumgod and the guitarists are both perfect.also in 2004 Steve DiGorgio joined them to make the album Defiant Imagination so the bass sound is fantastic (with the solos).They're my pick cuz they're best Loading...
Bloody Rain I Am The Night Posts: 1192	Permalink 01.02.2007 - 00:20 Bloody Rain I Am The Night Posts: 1192 My vote goes to Cryptopsy, however I have to give credit where credit is due. Into Eternity is a really good band (especially Buried in Oblivion), and I also really enjoy SYL and Gorguts. Another good (but very unknown) band worth mentioning is Unexpect. It's really hard to describe their music.... it's like avantgarde I guess. I can't wait to see them live in April (apparently they put on a killer live show). Loading...

Opium Magnet Account deleted	Permalink 06.02.2007 - 04:51 Opium Magnet Account deleted I chose Quo Vadis, I think I gave my reason why I like them the most in the other thread... if not, it is because I find that it's very rare to come across Technical Death Metal of their kind, pure speed and aggression with meldoy to boot! Quite extraordinary drumming too! Loading...

Ended up voting for Quo Vadis as their Melodic/Technical/Speed combination was pretty much the first I had heard of the kind. Others came after that but these guys were the first at that time.. ---- To be Draped by the Shadow of your Morbid Palace. Ohh, Hate Living...The only heat is warm blood So Pure...
