is there much support for local metal from Belgian fans? if the bands can attract the crowds, getting a chance to play bigger venues usually follows from that...
Our bands try to tour Holland,France and Germany,to create a bigger following,but people there aren't exactly waiting for Belgian bands.Naturally,record companies are not intrested in bands with few fans,so the scene is doomed to stay small.Which isn't bad,IMO,but if you're trying to make a living of your music,it sucks.
Originally posted by SirLoseALotAustralian bands have a similar problem. we have 20 million people, but it is a long long way before you get to another country interested in rock (except for NZ, but they only have about 3 million, most of whom live in Sydney anyway😉 )

Originally posted by dfm65I will say out of all the bands i have heard only two were from Australia. Then again, it seems awfully hard to break in to the metal scene with Europe and the UK being so strongly represented.

Originally posted by Feivelhmmm, you may be right there feivel. could you explain the difference to me? like dfm, my metal tastes are pretty speific and don't reach very far. I was into it pretty heavy about 6 or 7 years ago but that all faded with time.
You have doom confused with black metal and power metal.

Is doom comparable to stuff like Type O Negative and whatnot? And what's the difference between black metal and power metal?
