In that case I'd also recommendNot necessarily metal either.
STONE!!!!!
Yay, you're right, listening to them for weeks, but didn't come to my mind, to mention them...

Just in case, if there's a person on this forum, who doesn't know this version.
Saw them live a couple ov years ago and they had constant doublebass going on with a darkish folkmelody, they really did good work with the blasting thing, they work live but not on CD. Oh and saw them in 2004 back when they still did memorable music.
Just found these guys, Whispered. Maybe some of you guys have heard them?
One of the best Finnish songs, from 1976. Pretty sure there's a better version but I can't fucking find it.
Here's a metal version with dedicated vocal melody.
Hey guys, was wondering if y'all could recommend some other great bands from Finland. Not necessarily metal either.
I have these Finnish bands on heavy rotation:
COB
Kalmah
Mors Principium Est
Sonata Arctica
HIM
Ensiferum
Moonsorrow
Norther
Wintersun
Skyfire
Imperanon
just to name a few.
ALSO... if anyone knows the phase effect/keyboard Kalmah uses on songs like Human Fates, that would be a huge bonus. i fucking love that sound
The 69 Eyes, check albums Blessed Be and Devils.
Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukaus, check album Rajaportti, best heavy rock there exists.
To/Die/For, check album Epilogue, it's the first CD I ever bought and it's probably my all time top 2 favourite after Follow the Reaper. Fucking weird, isn't it, as FTR was the 2nd CD I ever bought.
I must've had supernatural instinct. Then again, how depressing is it, had I known I will NEVER find CD's I like more, despite listening to thousands upon thousands of CD's. Those are nostalgia albums for sure (as is HIM's Razorblade Romance which is the 3rd album I ever bought and probably my all time 3rd favourite) but I don't explain that with nostalgia, they just are bloody good.
In case someone missed it, Lost Society released a new album today, titled Braindead.
Having the first listen now and it's might be their best one yet, certainly their most grown up. Great vocals, great riffs, epic solos.
