The infamous metal puzzle (part 2) [ENDED]

Hints

General hint Bands are from (in no particular order) Spain, Germany, Norway, UK, USA, Finland and Argentina

Q5 Check here
It's a matter of phonetics

Q8 Notice is the only Q with double quotes. I'll save you 30 secs: it's not Angra

Q9 For safety reasons you should take something to answer this Q

Q10 Pikachu has nothing to do with the answer. Look for the present I left on a certain theme related birthday

Q11 Apply the same reasoning you did for Q9

You forgot to say what has be the answer... I suppose it is the name of the band

EDIT 5/11 first round
8/11 (q5, q9, q11 left)
9/11 (q9, q11 left)

Missing 2, 5, 8 and 9 after the first round ... for some reason 2 is not easy for me, and I have good guesses for 8 and 9 that just don't work ... will return later :)

I think you made it too hard this time, so I'm going to make a guess here and let's see if I can take an extra hint from you :P
You use to rate puzzle questions as hard when you are talking about non-north american bands, right? When reading this question, don't forget I have Q9-11 left xD

Ummm ... returned for a short break when I saw there's a new hint, but ... if I reverse your hint and apply Q11 logic to Q9 ... I get exactly the wrong answers I had there before :P
Edit: Oh and btw, I get that Q5 hint but it didn't help me :/ so basically until now your hints didn't help me at all :D

Bump for solved.

Following Somar closely :)

Yay I got Q9 now, too ... still missing 2 and 5 though :)
Edit: oh and 8 of course.

Nice ITH, not too easy! Missing answers to Q5, Q8 & Q10. I think that I have some idea of Q5 but haven't pinned the band yet :o In the meantime, The Dancing Queen :)

EDIT: Argh, I should have known the Q5 :D Two to go! And more music for the background: To Holmgard and Beyond

Finally solved!
