I know I just talked about them a short time ago, but Amorphis is truly amazing. As Kelly said, for a band to change their sound that drastically and still be putting out classic albums time after time is virtually unheard of. Amorphis is truly an original band. I eagerly await every new album from the band because I know I will not be disappointed by them. Hell, I am trying to come up with a way to get them played at our wedding this summer. NOTABLE SCENES: Finland has a very underrated melodeath scene, some filthy black metal, bizarre death metal, folk metal, and of course the Children of Bodom clones.
HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Archgoat
Azaghal
Behexen
Children of Bodom
Convulse
Demilich
Ensiferum
Finntroll
Horna
Impaled Nazarene
Insomnium
Kalmah
Nightwish
Omnium Gatherum
Reverend Bizarre
Sonata Arctica
Swallow the Sun
Wintersun
Finland is probably one of the three hardest countries for me, behind only Sweden and about even with the United States. In the end I'd probably have to go with Moonsorrow, but there are just so many great bands to pick from. Amorphis would definitely be up there.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Germany, Sweden, and of course the U.S. will be pretty hard for me to decide.
