Hello from Finland

Oh well metal is probably one of those music styles, that I'm not up to so much... anyway for example Stratovarius and Apocalyptica have some great songs.
Is there any Finnish metal bands, that you really like?

[SteveO]

Lots of them ...all metal and folk metal..

Amorphis, Nightwish, Turisas, Tenhi, Korpiklaani, Nest,Tarja Turunen, Moonsorrow, Skepticism, Wintersun....that's it I think !

I like all genres and I listen to metal from time to time..can't say I'm a fanatic.

Oh well Finns are famous about metal music. May be it's tha cultural thing that Finns make good metal music.

I mean we're a little bit melancholic people. Then we have a long dark winter as you know. We don't talk much and even during the difficulties we go on without complaining that much at least openly. Especially Finns aren't that emotional as people for example in Southern Europe. So then we have to let everything out by music... and it usually ends up to be bit heavier stuff.

Sounds like Canada !!!!...lol, thanks for your interesting insight,Tero ! This would make a great thread for music discussion ! What do you think ?

True... I think that the cultural differencies surely might have some effect on music. For example Americans like country, but country isn't that popular in other parts of the world.

Yes geography and culture play a big part ! Good topic for a new thread !
