Hjälp mig! > Scandinavian Metal Fests ??

[Suicide Machine]

i'm a French female metalhead, and i'm looking for metal fests, especially in Norway and Sweden.(i've never been in Scandinavia, but i'd really love to!)
>i'm also looking for s.o. to give me practical advice concerning the places (not) to go to, the things (not) to do there..
(i'm learning to speak Swedish, so, if s.o. could be a kind of "e-penfriend" to me, that would really be cool)
"tack"
(ps: favourite Northern bands> Meshuggah, Freak Kitchen, Opeth, Satyricon, Emperor)

> Sorg: petit salaud! passe de bonnes vacances et file-moi tes bons tuyaux dès que tu reviens de suède!

> Mia Culpa: i've seen your photos: some of them are really amazing!
where did you make them ? (esp. the medieval castle ?)
it's funny, cuz i have a masterdegree in philosophy of arts, and i'm interested in metal, photography, Middle Age, and viking culture just like you (my family lives in Normandy where there's a lot of medieval and ancient viking places..)
