Where the heavy metal bands are

[PRlady]

I thought this was funny, Sweden and Finland are Heavy Metal Central: http://www.theatlanticcities.com/art...ands-are/1714/. This is a world map of the prevalence of heavy metal....

I like Nightwish (and Tina Dico, but she's Danish) myself.

So, I have a reason to be a proud Finn...
I like Apocalyptica very much, and liked Nightwish in the times of Tarja Turunen.
I have even seen many of those bands, thanks to younger boy Finnice, who has needed a chauffeur to the concerts. Opeth is very good, too!

Finland's metal supergroup Northern Kings have some faaaantastic covers.

I love Apocalyptica and Sonata Arctica. And HIM. But they aren't always metal.

Nightwish and Apocalyptica.
As for the rest of the world: Gamma Ray, Edguy, Avantasia, Helloween (with Kiske and Hansen), Megadeth, Slayer, Testament, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, After Forever, Ayreon, Anthrax, Malón...and I could on and on and on.
I LOVE METAL
