Last night I went to see "Black Moor", a local metal band. I've never seen anything so awesome.

So basically, list some of the local bands you have, and tell us if they suck or not. You can list some of your bigger ones to brag, but the point of this is to show off some bands that we probably wouldn't of hear otherwise.

Nova Scotia "Big" local bands:
Sloan
Joel Plaskett
Matt Mays
The Trews (not so proud of this one)
Wintersleep
April Wine (Good, classic rock)

And our not-as famous ones that are awesome:
Black Moor (very Maiden-y)
In This Style

Hopefully you'll know more then two.

I live in CR, in Prague, and the local death metal/deathgrind/grindcore scene here is ridiculously strong. I've seen a shitton of good bands live, but I can't spell most of their names, lol.

One that I remember is BBYB, but so far as I can tell, everything up on youtube with their name attached to it sort of sucks, and they were only good in concert. Other than that a whole lot of death metal bands.

Back when I lived in Virginia there were some alright local bands,
Life After Hours
My friend is the lead singer, his clean singing is terribad, but I enjoyed his growling. Then there was another one, but I forgot their name, though it had something to do with trout.

I enjoy local bands though, they have lots of aggression and emotion, sometimes more so than bands that have been around for a long time. For example, Disturbed has no emotion in concert, and their stage show sucks, you might aswell listen to their CDs. Also, Dragonforce is the worst thing ever in concert, honestly it's terrible, worse than their CDs, and that's saying something. Of course, they don't compare to the bands I consider 'great', like Cannibal Corpse and Behemoth (Which have absolutely awesome concerts), but that's usually due to lack of experience.

Dungeon Master

Black Moor are good, Autumnstorm were sick back in the day, Terminator's good too.

If you're into the underground rap scene, Hollohan's tough as fuck. His freestyle is amazing.

Just Here For The Pie

Dissona

They keep getting heavier.

I was actually a friend of the guitarist for a while. I bought his old guitar and an amp off of him a few years back.

I think this is a band that went to my school 5 or 6 years ago. Xanthos Their music is good, but the voice sucks so much.

Are you kidding? That band is pretty sweet in just about every way. Don't diss on vocals if you don't know anything about different styles.

Anyway, I like it. It's like a symphonic or melodic blackish Metal.

EDIT: Actually after listening to it more, It's more like Folkish Power Metal with some Black Metal influence. I really want their EP.

The Tea Party and Neverending White Lights are from my town.

The former made the music for the Prince of Persia games.

And since you, for some reason, listed big ones from your whole province, I'll one up you some more.

Sum 41, Rush, Our Lady Peace, Bedouin Soundclash, Metric. Ontario, fuck ya.

Ultraviolet -- :wob:

Ultraviolet -- oh yeah probably. think I misinterpreted the original message. I thought he meant moving the flag revealed the base in the sense that it opened it up to being scouted, but what you're saying makes more sense

Sie_Sayoka -- dont those ladder maps have use map settings game type? i remember in a lot of them there was display text showing the maker and other credits at the beginning

fritfrat -- Good point.. maybe in Melee it sets off the hard-coded Capture the Flag logic when they pick up a p12 flag, revealing the SCV
[2025-5-14. : 4:34 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I forget how they do it, but they can preplace P12 units in melee / TvB maps. Maybe unit sprites
[2025-5-14. : 3:38 pm]
fritfrat -- Artosis and Tasteless were chatting on an ASL cast that 6 player maps will likely never happen for competitive SC, but Artosis mentioned how there was a concept of one where a worker had to pick up a flag to get out of their base, which resulted in their base being revealed. That's not possible with Melee / Top vs Bottom settings, is it? Thought I'd ask..

dumbducky -- I am so good at procrastinating
[2025-5-09. : 8:45 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Me too. The general concept is exciting and fun to play, or at least I enjoyed it in the previous Diplo Europe iteration.

Excalibur -- I have no idea if Clans will finish his map but I hope so.
