Help me out Finland

[nihilist]

I've liked bodom for a while but am just recently becoming aquainted with finnish metal. What are some other good metal bands from finland? I know Sonata Arctica is, and I've just heard of this new band HIM (his infernal majesty) are they good? I know almost every other european countrys' metal scene, but not finland, help me out?

 

[Warheart2]

Finnish bands that are worth checking out : Stratovarius, Sinergy, Kalmah, Norther, Throne Of Chaos, Impaled Nazarene...

 

[Lari]

I wouldn't call HIM metal, and neither would I suggest you to listen to it.

Here's a few finnish metal bands worth checking out :

- Sentenced
- Nightwish
- Ensiferum

.. and those that Warheart2 already listed.

 

[Dethroned]

Thunderstone, Afterworld, Eternal Tears Of Sorrow are good ones too.

 

[CadalMord]

I liked HIM's first album, Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666

The second album, Razorblade Romance, went a bit too pop.

And don't you even start about the newest album.... TOTAL SHIT!

 

[Crimson Babe]

I'd add Finntroll...

 

[Voice of God]

The Black League, Amorphis, Diablo, Insomnium, Moonsorrow

 

[arttum]

sinergy (almost finnish)
ensiferum (<-- rules)

 

[Iceheart]

Besides the already mentioned try these:
Thy Serpent, Cryhavoc, Charon, Entwine, To Die For, Gandalf, Thyrane, Babylon Whores, Lullacry, Catamenia, Horna, Throes of Dawn, Shape of Despair...
