Finnish Metal Bands

[Mark]

What are the Finnish metal bands currently putting out music (apart from the obvious COB, Sinergy, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarious etc)?

List em all!

My band, Lost in Tears is just about to release our first album. A bit like older Paradise Lost and older Anathema...
Check out www.lostintears.com =)

And I really look forward to Insomniums new album "In the Halls of Awaiting". Great Melodic Death Metal!

Barathrum just released their 6th album (well ok a while back, but still).

Ensiferum is the best new metal band around in Finland. I don't know when they're gonna release their second album though.

 

[locutos]

except of the bands, mark mentioned, these good bands say something to me:

69 Eyes (since 1989! No Metal, but i love Gothic Rock )
Impaled Nazarene
Finntroll

but I'm looking for more Bands either, more more more

 

[Eddy]

Requiem's debut album should be out next month.

 

[ataraxia]

i like moonsorrow and finntroll

I checked out a few tracks on this suggestion and I damn near shit my pants! GREAT STUFF!!

On a personal note, the artwork on your site shows a lot of potential. Stick with it and that dream of illustrating for a living may well come true.

hi everyone!
just a question, maybe someone knows more about it:

what's happened to LOST IN TWILIGHT?
I know that they renamed (Divercia or so) but why?? too many new musicians, or new style (hope not) or just for fun? or a legal matter?
have they ever released a full-lengthalbum (Planeteer is only a MCD)?

 

[Thomas]

Divercia (former Lost inTwilight)will release a new album the 24 th of June, named Modus Operandi.The label is Hammerheart records.

cool! gotta have a copy, I'm curious!
thanks thomas!

 

[BadBlood]

Any any cool old school Death metal act (like Swedish Kaamos) willing to get in touch with a zine-editor/trader from Poland? Write me and I'll be masturbating myself to sleep while listening to your stuff. Seriously, in case you are interested please leave a line here at UltimateMetal, as I truly do need to contact some Finnish bastard.

 

[opacity]

does anyone have a clue where to get Decoryah's 2 other albums (except for fall-dark waters)?

Downfall has just released their first full lenght album My Last Prayer. Rock/Metal stuff...

 

[locutos]

Throne of Chaos and Kalmah ! =)

I'll start this with some of the more obvious stuff, and move onto more obscure bands later.

Sentenced: Finnish melodic death metal band of the early 90's with Taneli Jarva on vocals. Jarva left the band, and it slowly
started losing its metal aspects, and by now they're a goth rock band. Just released new album, "The Cold White Light"
Reccomended song: Desert by Night

...And Oceans: Finnish melodic black metal band that started in the mid-90's with a style akin to early Dimmu Borgir, but with much more originality and style than most bands of the style. ...And Oceans have a reputation as a bizarre band, with track names such as "Trollfan", "I wish I was Pregnant", "Odious and Devious" etc. Their third album, AM GOD, released a few years ago, saw the band moving away from melodic black metal, and into a fusion of black metal and techno/electro.
Reccomended song: Tears Have No Name

Thy Serpent: A one-man black metal project, the music of Thy Serpent is best described as atmospheric black metal. Using slow progression and intricate keyboard layers, Thy Serpent attempts to be dark, atmospheric and epic. Thy Serpent pulls this off suprisingly well, and keyboard use is very tasteful.
Reccomended track: Flowers of Witchery Abloom

Ajattara: Black metal side project of Pasi Koskinen from Amorphis, Ajattara is very grim finnish black metal. The pace is slow, and the music is heavy and crushing, with clear doom influences. Playing is very clean and professional throughout, and keyboards are used as a supportive instrument, never taking the main role.
Reccomended song: Yhdeksäs

Impaled Nazarene: Finnish players of hyper-fast black/death metal, Impaled are self-proclaimed players of nuclear metal. Surely one of the most punk metal acts in Finland, the band occasionally resembles hardcore punk more than underground metal. Though their original goal of playing music as loud and fast as possible has given away to more melodic aspirations, although they still can't be called soft.
Reccomended song: Total War, Winter War
