[zaphodbeeblebrox]

The Finns are the Kings Of Metal!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Greetings from Germany
🤘😎

[kievitz]

Heavy Metal???, ok. You shoudve put just Metal on the description and title. And theres propably dozens of at least as good as these 20 bands in Finland in the front of metal music in general.
These are propably the most known ones based on the list.

[obscuretranquillite]

1. No "Eternal Tears of Sorrow " in a top 100 ? How to miss one of the most beautiful melodic death bands...
2. Seriously, you couldn't find a better sample for Finntroll ?
3. Thanks, I'm glad that there are people who like Finnish bands. Too many people only know American metal.

[SirEvige]

Sadly I have to disagree on a lot of options with this list. Firstly Sentenced was the first main metal band in Finland, which influenced a lot of other bands, so it has to be higher. Lordi won Eurovision and it is great, but does it make it bigger than Finntroll or Kalmah? And Turisas is inactive, so it is shouldnt be above Finntroll nor Moonsorrow nor Lordi. But the top 3 are the same as I am thinking :D

[HellFross]

Stratovarius and nothing else matters 🤘🎶

[clivematthews]

That was a very early Tarot as Marko looks so different now.

[dartanjaa]

Zero Nine would have been nice in honorary mentions,

[normarangel]

Hasta que al fin veo a Hanoi Rocks en bandas finlandesas

[Winnegan]

Thanks, so many cool groups to check out. Question: Is Nepali metal particularly close with Finnish metal, I hear similarities and notice Ugra-Karma is both name of Nepali metal and name of an album by Finnish metal band from 1980s. Just curious.

[tinajensen]

i just miss omnium gatherum, Cains offering, Brymir but my top 3 are there...NW, Sonata and amorphis.

[jjniemela]

Where is Omnium Gatherum if not in top 20 or not even mentioned? Wolfheart, Before the Dawn, Mors Subita, Mokoma, Brother Firetribe?

[TheEsapirnes]

I have only one question, Where is HIM???

[toinenosoite]

En sano mitään pahaa yhdestäkään bändistä listalla, kaikki on hyviä tai loistavia, mutta on mulla kuitenkin joitakin pointteja:
Saatana, että Nightwish on taas ykkösenä! En suoraan sanottuna ymmärrä teitä listojen tekijöitä. Loistava bändi, muttei se niin erikoinen ole. Vaikuttaako tässä jotenkin kv-menestys?
Missä on Stam1na ja Mokoma - helvetin hyviä bändejä molemmat. Ja nuo kaksi on vain esimerkkejä puuttuvista bändeistä, etenkin suomeksi laulavista.

[elliottpaine]

As far as Lordi is concerned, does anyone else think its GWAR reborn? lol

[simolaurila]

Blod Red Hourglas, Amberian Dawn and whay arent Hanoi Rocks be top 20..

[Pix]

No kyllä oli henkilökohtainen lista...
