There are Finnish metal bands....then there is Wintersun
There used to be a Impaled Nazarene album that I used to like way back in the day being half Finnish I should revisit it. Obviously I would say Children of Bodom and Nightwish are the most popular bands to come out of Finland. The keys in COB can bug me at times though. Love this one. RIP Alexi.
Yeah COB would have been so much better without the keys. It can really take me out of what could be great music. Half of the time its just playing the same melody as the guitar anyways so whats the point of that? Alexi super talented he wrote all of that bands music.Laiho was a talented guitarist, but i get cavities from this sugary sweet keyboard laden music.
ABORYM
Italy
1999
Black Metal

Finnish music:
I really like the first Aborym LPI did buy this album upon release. It was heavily advertised on a black/death metal magazine I used to buy back in the days called Black Light. They included some songs on a promo CD (including this one) and got me pretty hyped. Not a big fan of their later industrial stuff.

BTW, the guy who did the vocals in this one (I think Attila Csihar joined the band in 2000), The Great Yorga, passed away earlier this year (June).
