Funny how things got to nightwish just when i was abouty to recommend one of the greatest finnish band ever. Tarot. Marco Hietala who is their singer is also Nightwish's bassist nowadays. He was also considered in iron maiden after bruce. it is being said that he made to the top 3
Wings of darkness
Also from finland comes the highly touted Insomnium. I don't like that kind of music where the singer just growls something. But since one of my friends cousin plays drums in that band i have to mention that.
ANd of course there is Children of bodom, HIM, apocalyptica and so on but i assume you know all those bands from Finland.
And if tyou want to learn finnish, here is a comical Manowar clone:
Teräsbetoni - taivas lyö tulta
A hard rock band from my home town, one of the biggest bands in Finland:
The video is actually fimed in my home town and it describes the usual way we spend our weekends, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WATCHING THIS....
Kotiteollisuus - Rakastaa, ei rakasta
And one more, the best finnish band in my opinion, also in finnish, also from Lappeenranta:
This is heavy....
