The World Map of Metal?

A more literal map, illustrating the concentration of metal bands per capita. The source material is The Metal Archives, which is curated by a crack team of metalheads who ensure 'Bullet For My Valentine' never gets classified as heavy metal, ever. parse, dammit approved!

Unstartlingly, worldwide sales of white and black face paint look almost exactly the same.
