I've been into metal for a while now and I have noticed Finland's contribution from the beginning. I first heard Demigod when I was a young teenager, at the time I was addicted to Floridan death metal. Once I heard Demigod I started to question the genre. The creative tremolo riffs and excellent songwriting made me wonder, what else is there in death metal? I then extended my interest to Scandinavian BM and European DM and BM.
Anyways, ten years or so later I am still looking back to see how Finland helped to create artistic works in metal. I mean, bands with traditional sounds that add a little bit of Finnish flavor into them, like Abhorrence, Demilich, Beherit, Demigod, Amorphis, Sentenced, Funebre etc…
Anyways, this is the official Finland thread.
