National Anthems/ or bands

[Stab West]

I was playing around with this idea about having a National Anthem for each nation or at least a national band and here's what I've come up with so far:

As far as Anthems go I only found one that really fits it's an obvious one for R'lyeh is The Thing That Should Not Be by Metallica.

For national bands I came up with these:

Ermor - Megadeth
Jotunheim - They Might Be Giants
Atlantis - God Lives Underwater
Pangaea - Deep Forest

Let's see what else we can come up with!

Cute thread if we can keep people from just putting their Favorites. Something where the band name fits, and they arent TOO unknown. Hmmmm....

Something "heavy metal" for Ulm?
Armored Saint? Metallica? Armor of God?

Cthulhu Dawn by Cradle of Filth suits R'lyeh far better.

In The Raven-Haunted Forests Of Darkenhold, Where Shadows Reign And The Hues Of Sunlight Never Dance by Bal-Sagoth is perfect for Carrion Woods Pangaea.

Blind Guardian's Another Holy War for Marignon.

Or "Veteran of the Psychic Wars", from Blue Oyster Cults "Fires of Unknown Origin" album.

Fukai Mori by Do As Infinity would be a perfect anthem for the regular Pangaea or even Man.

For Caelum, Nirvana's Polly
For Hoburgdorf, Rastaman Vibration
For R'lyeh, Fish Heads
For C'tis, anything by Jesus Lizard
For Abysia, Prodigy's Fire
For Man, She. Damn, that's lame of me
For Machaka, Witchdoctor
For T'ien C'hi, Kung Fu Fighting
For Mictlan, Harry Belafonte, for no reason

Ulm - Metallica One

That's a hard task to find something matching particularly well. In most cases either theme or music or lyrics don't match. So far I've found only the following:

Pangaea - Korpiklaani (korpiklaani=woods clan), whole album Spirit of the Forest fits well, if one song,probably With Trees

Marignon - Agalloch - Kneel to The Cross

Vanheim - Bathory - Blood On Ice - "The Revenge Of Blood On Ice"

Ulm should probably be something heavy, but nothing seems to suit in particular, the best I can think of is Warlock's "True as Steel".

Somebody suggested Megadeth for Ermor which seems fitting, though many black/doom metal bands would fit too. I've thought about Pentitent's "Into the Great Inferno" and "Entering the Gate" which have very different sound, but probably suit better.

For other nations I don't even have a clue what would fit really well...

Jotunheim and Ulm should have something with Britney Spears... because I REALLY hate them
