Speaking of the Chicago metal scene, I'm tired of having to go all the way out to some far flung suburb to see shows. I had to go all the way to the Pearl Room (all the way out in Mokena!!!) to see Gamma Ray and Helloween, as well as Iced Earth. Couldn't hit Savatage (Jon Oliva's Pain) when they swung by Schaumburg, so I drove to Waukesha, WI to see them. Would much prefer to get more of these acts to come to the Metro, House of Blues, etc. But at least if a band is going to tour the states you can pretty much be assured there will be a Chicago stop somewhere in the tour.

While I do think that California probally has the best Metal Scene (especially down state), Chicago does have some good bands to offer, some around the Chicago land area and in Chicago, my list is as follows of local Metal bands that I have heard or seen. Dead for Days, Wounds of Ruin, Kataplexy, Cardiac Arrest, Necrogression, Crucified Deformity, Mordrid, They Die Screaming, Everscathed, Malas, Nekropsy, Degradation, Diamond Plate, Relic, Brutalized, Whorrid. These are some local bands that I could remmember off the top of my head, Right now it's kind of hard to see any all ages shows the have really good bands but sometimes ya get lucky, it's crappy to see bands as well because the usually play around Chicago not In chicago lol even the bigger bands come around chicago most of the time which sucks because ya have to travel a good distance to see 'em, tough from what I see there are some places that are startin to emerge like Reggies Rock Place or Metal up your tap for shows.

I might also add Ronny's to a list of venues that play metal (occasionally) in the city. There hasn't been death metal there recently, but I've seen a couple of doom/sludge bands come through.

One thing that's annoying about the scene in the city is that a lot of hipsters now think it's ironically cool to be into metal, so they crash shows wearing iron maiden hats and mustaches, and snap photos of themselves being "brutal" for their facebook pages. The last melvins show I saw nearly sucked because of them.
