French metal

France is often overlooked as a source of good metal bands... however it's struck me that a fair few of the bands I enjoy listening to on a regular basis are in fact French.
Most people know about bands like Gojira and Blut Aus Nord, but there are many more that are worth a mention.
I think the metal scene in France is becoming increasingly promising; thoughts anyone? Here are a few bands I'd recommend, feel free to add your own
