Hence I come from the little scandinavian country named Denmark, I shall bring forth a few Danish bands, that follow the scandinavian tradition of brutal black- and death metal.

1: Illdisposed.
2: Mercenary
3: Granhammer
4: Illnath
5: Kloak

Illdisposed and Mercenary is some of the most known bands in the underground metal society, but Illnath is one of my personal favorites. Also can be mentioned Ofring, that has stopped producing, but made a few good tracks.

I just purchased Old Mans Child "The defiance of Existence"..... only thing I can think of to describe it is "excelent"!!!!

One word:

ANTHRAX
