Euro-Rock has a different sensibility than either North American or British rock. Most Euro-Rock sounds as if Chuck Berry didn't exist and that the Beatles never registered before Sgt. Pepper. It is arty, moody, fantastical, and symphonic, drawing more from classical and European folk than the blues. That is part of the reason why Euro-Rock was ...

- Rammstein (Germany) There's no shortage of great rock bands from Germany. From power metal (Blind Guardian) to thrash (Kreator) to hardcore punk (Beatsteaks) to straight-out rock (Scorpions), they're perhaps the only country with a roster of bands that could hang tough with the torrent of UK/American output.
- Volbeat (Denmark) Although metal's Great Dane – Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich – will take some catching in the rock superstardom stakes, his countrymen in Volbeat are doing a remarkable job of giving him a little competition.
- Primordial (Ireland) Ireland might be a relatively small nation, but from Thin Lizzy and Rory Gallagher to Kerbdog and Gama Bomb it has always punched well above its weight with rock'n'roll.
- Brutus (Belgium) When most people think of Belgium, they picture beer and chocolate, waffles, and fries with mayonnaise. The country is also a hotbed for experimental music, with hardcore punks like Ghent’s Rise And Fall rubbing shoulders with Wevelgem grungecore lot Stake (previously, Steak Number Eight).
