The Whining and Bitching Thread

I'd agree in that I hear a lot of really shitty modern Finish stuff with a relatively consistent sound despite varying between power metal, melodic death, and kinda gothy stuff, all with shitty symphonic influences. And it's fucking horrid. I'm told they're produced an awful lot of awesome death metal over the years, and I'm sure there are some worthwhile bands from there currently, but overall I get the impression that Finland can go suck a bag of dicks.

I agree. Finnish people are way too obsessed with Japanese gothic lolitas and Ville Valo for much good to come out of it. I'd probably find that insufferable if I actually lived there. But I don't, and I like several of the big crapper bands from Finland, so I won't complain too much.

Shit, you elitist fucks need to take some time to check out that insistent butthurt of yours. You're complaining about a country that has put out so many good metal bands in the last two decades it's not even funny. I bet you look down on those of us with short hair as well.

Problem Yet to be Solved
Finland metal is becoming mainstream. Soon they will be autotuning their voices and using computerized beats. Just you wait. To deviate from the mood of this thread:

As if it wasn't mainstream already
Most (known) finnish metal sucks. Full of shitty and generic melodeath bands and cheap Nightwish-copies.As if it wasn't mainstream already
I have to disagree there. SHoot me if you want, but personally I find Children Of Bodom to be refreshing.

COB is one of the few spineshit-bands that are actually good/listenable, but the amout of copycats they have around here is ridiculous. 90% of starting young metal bands here try to copy COB, Ensiferum, Kalmah and stuff like that. Mostly COB.

For every one decent Finnish band, there are about 20 horrible folk/melodeath/Gothic metal bands.

There is a distinctive chord progression/melody that is found in 51koodia, Poets of the Fall, and Sonata Arctica songs - probably a bunch of other bands use it too. I wonder if they all swap spit while writing their music.
Finland is cool though, Nokia phones have excellent battery life and every country has its own mainstream-mediocre "metal" bands to contend with.
