What are some good foreign artists?

My logic is that, between america and western europe, there are like 500-600 million people out of 7 BILLION, and yet this serves as the only source of music for me as an american.

So, I figure there has to be like a chinese version of Knife Party, Krewella, Avenged Sevenfold, Darren Styles, Tiesto, Basshunter (his old stuff was fantastic, new stuff is straight trash), Dubba Johnny, The XX, Late Night Alumni, etc. since there are twice as many of them. and that's just china.

In case you couldn't tell my favorite music is Progressive/"Big Room" House (think swedish house mafia and other really synthy happy stuff), Dubstep, Drum&Bass, UK Hardcore (also called Happy Hadcore), Eurodance, Trance, and "Chillout".

I also like Rock and althernative/indie, but it has to be top of the ******* line like Avenged Sevenfold or FFDP, and The XX

I don't like rap as a genre, but groups that rap (over trance, rock, dubstep, etc) are fine.

By The Way: I don't care about lyrics, hence the reason I am asking for foreign music. It's music, not poetry, I like the sounds not the words. if I want good words, I'll read a book.

The only foreign artist I know of are Rammstein (******* fantastic music from Germany), AKB48, and some other big name j-pop groups. point is, the artist can be from Germany, Russia (and other slavic states), India, Korea, South Asia, Japan, China, I don't care as long as I've never heard of the group.

Update:

@ Swaggy pinecone chicken

Thanks for insight dickfuckingwad.

and yes, unfortunately, for me ffdp is top of the line because I hate bands that inaudibly scream like emotional ******* pms-ing women. as a result all the good rock bands (musically) piss me off. A7X and FFDP don't scream (they yell) and they're pretty good.

Update 2:

@ Swaggy pinecone chicken

Ill be sure to check out gojira

And I hate A7X's first 2 albums. I have tried to listen to them, but I can't stand it.

City of Evil, Self-Titled and Nightmare are all in my top 10 favorite albums of all time. and I didn't like this newest one too much.
