I shall now post some more obscure, foreign metal bands to melt your face.

Rage, Germany, power metal.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y25snz83ms[/youtube]
Amaranthe, Swedish/Danish, power/melodic death metal. 3 vocalists; female, male clean, male harsh. the woman is extremely hot in the video, if anyone is interested in that sort of thing.

Ensiferum, Finnish, Viking/folk metal.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6mP1w2T5-4[/youtube]
Mnemic, from Denmark. They've dubbed themselves 'future fusion metal,' one of the most eclectic bands I've heard. Wikipedia says Industrial metalcore, Groove/Progressive/Melodic death/Experimental metal.

Blind Guardian. Germany, Power/speed metal.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEN3mQ0ql30[/youtube]
Volbeat, Denmark. REALLY unique style; rockabilly + metal... metalbilly.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqGoCa22DfU[/youtube]
Betzefer, Israel. That's right, Israel, they can have heavy metal bands, why shouldn't they? Pretty badass groove/thrash. I wanted a video for either Under, or Black Inside, but there's only live videos of them, poorer quality.

Persefone, from Andorra (tiny country, less than 100k people, you probably haven't even heard of it). Progressive death/black metal, really harsh. This is the longest metal song I've ever heard (Octavarium doesn't count), and holy fuck it's a doozy. According to Wikipedia, this is the only Andorran musical group there is.

Sabaton, Sweden. A song about how awesome heavy metal is.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP0_MNj8f1Q[/youtube]
Rammstein...ok, not actually obscure at all, but this is an awesome song with a pretty sweet video. German, vaguely they're industrial metal, more specifically they're called Neue Deutsche Härte, meaning 'New German Hardness.'
