Until this question has been properly investigated in another 3-4 pages of this thread I suggest we leave the Macedonia/FYROM issue. Any forum policies regarding this issue are totally unnecessary. Let Greeks call the country "FYROM" if they want, but please don't force your self-invented "rules" upon others. Had this thread been moderated by a guy from Skopje we all know what he would call his country of origin...
Let's now return to the issue of Albanian Metal.
Metalpeiklo,
Macedonia was part of Ancient Greece and their people were speaking Greek.
Nowadays ,geographically the area of Macedonia lies in Northern Greece and another part is in the so called FYROM.
The difference is that in the area of FYROM ,the people living there are Slavs that came much later in these areas and have nothing to do with ancient Macedonians and so on.
They can themselves as they want ,unless they don't usurp the history of another nation.
By the way, all these new countries were made with the obvious support of USA and in the World War I by Italy (like Albania) ,just to serve their interests in these areas.
Finally, u can check what their Prime Minister Gligorov were telling about their new country back in early 90's.
Topic closed for me cause i hate to involve politics with music.
But some people seems to be total hostile and ignorant and it's such a pity.
Cheers
