Well, my folks live in Cornwall in the UK and frankly there has never been much of a metal scene at all down here.

My friend plays in a atmospheric black metal band and back in the day a few nu-metal worship bands and metalcore bands were doing the rounds, but due to the isolation from the rest of the UK there is exactly zero gigs down here except for the odd local band. there was a big pop punk and ska scene about 10 years ago but I think that's dead now.

Where I live up in Scotland there is a fairly decent scene, Glasgow is on most bands European tour lists and there's a lot of bands doing the rounds in Scotland.
