    Just to be clear, these are the most popular metal bands from each country, according to worldwide listening stats, correct?

    All this proves to me is that the global takeover by Metal is nearly finished, soon the whole world will be metal!

    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?”

        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.

      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.”

          Fucking THANK YOU! I’ve been wondering what the abbreviation was for since some dude offhandedly mentioned it in a comment above. I didn’t want to have to figure out how to google all that lol.

          Side note, however:

          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

          Christian music

          Its members rarely consider themselves Christians

          I am now even more confused.
