Yeah. I agree it's fairly confusing. Seems to be the most listened to band from each country according to Spotify.
Oooooh, that explains why System of a Down didn’t show up in Armenia.
I edited the title

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

Also wtf South Africa.
Yeah, can someone help me out with a pronunciation guide on that one?
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.

It's pronounced just like it's spelled.
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.

South Africa wins best bandname.
I don't know, Bloodywood is a pretty fucking good name for an Indian metal band.

Genuinely surprised to see that Eluveitie beats out Celtic Frost.
Edit: Just looked at the stats, and wow, it's not even close: 872,935 to 120,157. That's a real wtf. Insert Principal Skinner "...it's the children who are wrong."jpg

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."
Light novel titles got nothing on South Africa's favourite band.

Of course The Hu are the mongolian one. Theyre awesome.
Their cover of enter sandman cracks me up. Super great band!

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

Visions Of Atlantis in a land locked country.
That's how they're sure it wasn't actually there, just a vision.
All this proves to me is that the global takeover by Metal is nearly finished, soon the whole world will be metal!

Anyone have a playlist with a song from each?
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
I'm surprised by the lack of Iron Maiden
It's the most popular bands from each country, not the most popular bands in each country. So Maiden could have only been in the UK and Sabbath beat them out.

Yeah, but Black Sabbath literally created (Heavy) Metal due to Tony Iommi's accident.
