South Africa looks like a cat walked across the keyboard
Full name: Acidic Vaginal Liquid Explosion Generated by Mass Amounts of Filthy Fecal Fisting and Sadistic Septic Syphilic Sodomy Inside the Infected Maggot Infested Womb of a Molested Nun Dying Under the Roof of a Burning Church While a Priest Watches and Ejaculates in Immense Perverse Pleasure Over His First Fresh Fetus.
We get it, band. You’re edgy.
Yuck
Of course Japan has Baby Metal as their top Metal band.
And I’m a huge fan of Within Temptation. If I could only recommend one song for this entire graphic, its A Demons Fate by Within Temptation
Wormrot is the best on the list, hands down.
I was not disappointed when I zoomed in on France.
France and Ukraine rocking that home field advantage here.
Ignea too young to get that top 1 in Ukraine
I think you misspelled White Ward.
None of that fake shit, WWE cuz you know we keep it real like the UFC…
UUHHH…
Do you have a higher resolution picture?
Click the HD button in the top right but even that won’t help you spell South Africa’s favourite metal band.
Here we go "“XavlegbmaofffassssitimiwoamndutroabcwapwaeiippohfffX (abbreviated as Xavleg, aka Acidic Vaginal Liquid Explosion Generated By Mass Amounts Of Filthy Fecal Fisting And Sadistic Septic Syphilic Sodomy Inside The Infected Maggot Infested Womb Of A Molested Nun Dying Under The Roof Of A Burning Church While A Priest Watches And Ejaculates In Immense Perverse Pleasure Over His First Fresh Fetus) is a South African deathcore/ Christian music/ deathgrind/ death metal band. Its members rarely consider themselves Christians.”
Fucking THANK YOU! I’ve been wondering what the abbreviation was for since some dude offhandedly mentioned it in a comment above. I didn’t want to have to figure out how to google all that lol.
Side note, however:
Sadistic Septic Syphilic Sodomy Inside The Infected Maggot Infested Womb Of A Molested Nun Dying Under The Roof Of A Burning Church While A Priest Watches And Ejaculates In Immense Perverse Pleasure Over His First Fresh Fetus
Christian music
Its members rarely consider themselves Christians
I am now even more confused.

That’s what the priest said.

I am almost surprised that that’s actually the band’s name. Almost.
Switched to HD and downloaded. It’s clear.
Surprised to see New Zealand on the map.
Surprised their band isn’t ulcerate
Why? Alien Weaponry is a solid band. Check them out.
It’s a reference to the phenomenon where map makers tend to ommit including New Zealand.
Anyone have a playlist with a song from each?

here you go
Thank you!
Somehow genuinely had no idea Gojira were French so, TIL!
Also wtf South Africa.
I’ve checked them out on Spotify and that is some dirty, filthy grindcore
So in other words, nothing you’d be able to find on Encyclopaedia Metallum (unless they also got classified as some genre without “core” in it)
Edit: just joking. Mostly. I am still pretty salty about the fact that their gatekeeping is denying Every Time I Die their rightful place among the metal greats
They’re also declining Lorna Shore from being added as well.
Looked up the site and it seems like they also don’t have Between the Buried and Me or Protest the Hero so it seems like it’s one of those “exclusionary to be pretentious and no other reason” kind of sites
They’re great at finding new bands as long as the bands are properly “metal,” but they arbitrarily exclude any genre that includes the term “core” which seems like a miss to me.
They have a pretty narrow definition of metal I don’t always agree with (like cocktail and ball torture missing), but I’m sure glad it’s not flooded with -core bands.
That’s so stupid who the fuck can even begin to claim they’re not metal
Also wtf South Africa.
Yeah, can someone help me out with a pronunciation guide on that one?
It’s pronounced just like it’s spelled.
Xavleg (zav-leg) is the accepted “short” name for when you need to say it out loud or write it and can’t be bothered to put the whole thing
The whole thing is an abbreviation for a bunch of gross shit with X’s on the front and end.
Good thing that it’s an abbreviation. It wouldn’t have fit on the record sleeve otherwise.
Oh it fits just fine:

English speakers most often use a Z sound for an X at the start of the word, like xenon and xylophone. I’m ignorant of how it would be pronounced by speakers of other languages, but all my conversations about the band (all three of them, lol) have been in English
But in Afrikaans it’d be a ks
In German x is pronounced ks or kz

For anyone curious
Check out Alcest. I’m obsessed with them
Actually will, cheers for the recommendation!
Check out Benighted! The new-ish guitarist is my old high school friend.
Benighted has always been my favorite franchement band, above Gojira. Living in Lyon, I see Julien (the leader & singer) at nearly every gig that happens in that city.
Super, moi je parlais de Manu le gratteux. Le mec était déjà un génie dans notre petit groupe de pre-ados/ados, tu lui mettais une track il l’écoutait une fois et ensuite on la remettait et il jouais pratiquement nickel avec le morceau, un monstre.
N’étant pas musicien, j’ai jamais compris comment c’était possible ce genre de choses. Mais c’est sûr que ce ne sont pas des manchots, leur batteur est excellent aussi par exemple. Et nouvel album dans 2 semaines !!!
Je suis musicien mais moi non plus je ne comprends pas, je te rassure ^-^’
Je n’écoute plus trop de métal mais j’irai regarder ça.
Speaking as a South African, never heard of them.
You have, it’s just that that name fits in nobody’s memory. /s
There are a few surprises here, tbf. I had no idea that Pentagram was Turkish (although, maybe it’s a different Pentagram). I kinda remembered that Sepultra that was Brazilian, but I’m not really a fan, so I had mostly forgotten.
I was somehow thinking of Phantogram and wondering “huh, never knew they did heavy stuff.”
You’re probably thinking of the Pentagram from Virginia.
considered one of the “big four of doom metal,” alongside Candlemass, Saint Vitus and Trouble
Yep, I was thinking of the VA Pentagram.
Scandanavia and India are the only continents with taste.

Visions Of Atlantis in a land locked country.
That’s how they’re sure it wasn’t actually there, just a vision.
My friends are metalheads but I’m not. Popped this over to our discord to see what comes up.
First response: “Greenland is a country. What the fuck?”
They are a vassal state of denmark
No one there has spotify though
And u thought the scorpions were more popular in Germany. At least it’s more in the direction of metal than Rammstein. In case of doubt: Kreator or Halloween
Kinda surprised sabaton beats amon amarth
And in flames… Opeth…
deleted by creator
Yeah good point, I’ve been into metal since I’m 14 and sabaton was never a band I cared about for some reason haha, always amazed by their popularity
It’s very palatable metal for people who migrated from Arctic Monkeys and like European history.
I’m not. They fucking rock.
They aren’t very worshipped over here in western canada like the other mentioned bands here
Let’s fucking go, so happy to see Spiritbox get the attention they deserve!
One day as a Canadian, Unleash The Archers will get their love too!
Weird that both spiritbox and unleash the archers come from the same little city
UTA are awesome. I had never heard of them until their YouTube music put their version of Northwest Passage into my playlist, but I got hooked fast!
I’ll never not share my favourite song of them. Dreamcrusher is amazing.
I think I’m going to listen to them during my run today!
Devin Townsend is the true Canadian metal hero tho
