I would definitely consider LoG a southern band, especially on Sacrament. The riffs are extremely bluesy and the lyrics have always seemed to have a southern edge to it. (particularly on Sacrament and As the Palaces Burn)
"This guy gets it"
Mark was actually the dude who got me to play guitar and I remember picking it up DURING my watching of the Killadelphia DVD. I already owned Ashes of the Wake and As The Palace Burns, and it seems like all his solos have a real bluesy feel to them as do the songs he writes; and blues was a genre my dad raised me on so it was a natural inspiration for someone who PLAYS metal but combines blues into it - to inspire me
I totally forgot about Weedeater. Not sure if Bongzilla are also southerners or not, they have a sludgey-groove to them but may not qualify.
