I'm surprised no one has mentioned October Falls

I didn't know they were from Finland. I got The Streams Of The End and it officially owns!

M. Lehto - the dude behind OF - sometimes posts on the Royal Carnage board. Infrequently, though.

 

[Trows]

Speaking of folk/instrumental: Tenhi are pretty good.

Pretty good is an understatement!

 

[TheCrab]

Pretty good is an understatement!

Seconding that! Tenhi are a GREAT band.

 

[Vex Loser]

I personally enjoy Moonsorrow, Skepticism, Insomnium, Amorphis and Onmium Gatherum but my favorite is probably Shape of Despair - some of the best doom ever.

If you want to hear something truly original and exotic (to my ears at least):

STAM1NA

Like bright, alternative, prog-thrash and excellent vocals, all in Finnish!!!

We're now getting pretty far from atmospheric/doom, but check out Ruoska:



It does sound a bit like Rammstein, but it fucking rocks -- especially when you're getting wasted with your buddies!

 

[phantomfreak]

^^^^ That was awesome, I have to check out more from them.

 

[zkeleton]

Groovy!

You might wanna check out Verjnuarmu too:
