These I either knew of or was given the demo cd's when I came out of a concert in T.O. or Vancouver.
BW BK is a great magazine to get the latest in metal. Martin Popoff is a editor and a cool guy, send him a note and he will help you out..He also has a couple of excelent books out that you can find at Chapters.

Haha awesome band name.Wild Bill said:
Don't forget sHEAVY from the Rock. Well, more 70's rock than metal most of the time - based on what's called metal these days.
And you can check out the band that spawned them - After Forever. Much more old Metallica/Testament kind of stuff. They only released one album , "Death of One", in the mid 90's. Good luck finding it. I understand they were huge in Quebec for some reason. I dig most the bands Dan Moore (their guitarist) has been involved in actually.

Canuck Metal
Anybody else ever heard of INTO ETERNITY? Great prog Metal from....of all places Saskatchewan...(I mean that with the utmost respect)
As for Metal in general its had its glorydays a couple of decades ago and it is still going strong. It wont ever die and if you look hard enough there are some really, really good ones from Canada as well......as is the case with Into Eternity.

I've seen Beyond Within as I live in Sudbury myself, I'm not a fan of the cookie monster vocals and although the riffs and rhythms are great.........the leads arezao_89 said:

Protest The Hero........I know some people call it punk but it's metal enough for me.

My opinion (not that it is worth anything) is that Metal peaked in the mid '80's. It was then divided (and later sub-divided) into smaller genres like Thrash Metal, Speed Metal and Glam.
Metal, through the '70's up until the mid to late '80's, was like a sub culture. There is a entire generation of Metal Fans that would now be in their 30's and 40's that are not all that interested in the direction that metal has taken since the late 80's (black metal, death metal etc) as it all seems to be written for a target audience of adolecent males.
Metal today seems to be very negative, and violent. It is hard for me to diferentiate it from other extreame styles of music (like gangster rap and so on) because it doesn't comunicate to me at any level. There are of course exceptions to this rule.
A good example of this would be "Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the name of". Which is pretty much just like "Stop, listen, what's that sound" with a a massive dose of adrenaline. I'm not sure how to classify this track, other than to say that I like it - alot. This track is actually getting pretty old itself.
For anyone that hasn't heard, or doesn't know what metal is, and you can't get past the negativity thing that has pushed it out of the main stream here are my pre '90's recomended listening list:
Black Sabbath
Judas Priest - up to and including Defenders of the Faith
The Scorpions
Iron Maiden - up to and including Powerslave
Metallica
These are all pretty obvious, but with the exception of Metallica, none of them are from North America. The majority of Metal that was produced in North America came out of Los Angeles, and it was a wattered down commercial variety that was more top 40/pop than anything.
I have recently seen a VH-1 series on Metal on the TV, which was pretty good watching and it covered most of the bases.

Being one of the 40 something metal heads I would agree with this completely.Hamm Guitars said:
Anvil was a pretty good canadian metal band.
Saxon is another metal band to be remembered and so was Tank.
Those two aren't canadian but they are good.
Hawkwind and Motorhead can't be forgotten either.
