Full support to “bouncy” and all synonymous adjectives - great to see some more love for Finndeath
I watch everything you do. So pleased to hear the shoutout on Banger because your work is great and deserves the recommendation.
Do a *Corrupted Cover Art* on *HOODED MENACE.*
Blayne and Sarah are the 2 BangerTV hosts I trust the most. Yet another impeccable selection and deep dive.
They really know their shit.
I also have Brad in there :D
I know this one was mostly focused on the death/doom side with some shoutouts to the osdm and experimental death scenes but Finland also knows how to do melodeath better than most of the world: Omnium Gatherum, Insomnium, Mors Principium Est, Kalmah, Wolfheart, Wintersun, Whispered, and Children of Bodom. The melodeath/doom microgenre also has some stalwarts here from Swallow The Sun, Hanging Garden, Ghost Brigade, and Barren Earth.
Well put! When I think of finnish death metal the first thing that come to mind is melodeath.
Agreed, great Melodeath scene there. We could do a few more episodes on the great metal scenes in Finland.
Those are some great bands, but I don't think they can top Dark Tranquillity...or EARLY In Flames, or "Wages of Sin"-era Arch Enemy. Just my opinion.
@@RockerNate81 I said better than MOST of the world lol, early In Flames still reigns for me personally
@@GundamZeroDevil Haha good point! Apparently, I can't read :P I thought it said Finland knows how to do melodeath better than the rest of the world. You're absolutely right, though...they are better than MOST!
(ROTTING WAYS TO MISERY: THE HISTORY OF FINNISH DEATH METAL by Markus Makkonen (who appears in this video) and Kim Strömsholm, the only complete book on this subject is still available from Decibel (USA) and Cult Never Dies (Europe), as well as Hell's Headbangers, Nuclear Blast, Season of Mist, Levykauppa etc.)
I would watch you guys talk about Finnish Death Metal for hours!🤘 Keep it up!
Every band discussed sounded awesome! Love the amount of effort and nerdery Sarah puts into things. And that finnish intro was just heartwarming. Definitely gonna give all these bands a good listen. Thanks Banger! Love you, Sarah!
Sentenced, Demigod, Purtenance, Krypts, Corpsessed, Depravity... There are a lot of amazing Death Metal bands in Finland
New Concrete Winds release announced
Old Amorphis...
DEMONIC DEATH JUDGE!
I was also thinking about Sentenced
Krypts is amazing
For the more casual fan, DEFINITELY check out early work from the bands Sarah glossed over, like Sentenced and Amorphis. There's a reason they got all the attention back in the early 90s.
Gorephilia, Torture Killer, Galvanizer, Mörbid Vomit, Kasvoton, Cadaveric Incubator - Not found from previous comments nor on the video but worth checking out! Thank you for making banger content!
Last gorephilia album was so good
Convulse, Hooded Menace, and a Temple of Void reference? Awesome, super cool video as always Sarah!
Findeath is currently having a second wave of punishing and promising Death metal fresh bands like Cryptic Hatred, Azatoth, Disguised malignance, Malformed and many more are brutaly blooming
So much great stuff from this scene! Thanks for the awesome video, I learned about a few more bands 🤘🤘
Awesome to see Sarah helm the Finnish episode! Ei muuta kuin kippis ja sarvet pystyyn! \m/,
PS: Sarah, milloin Smoulder julkaisee lisää musiikkia? :D
Love the fact that I had to translate everything in this comment but the devil horns 🖤🤘
She just moved there, so Im sure she was so excited about this!
A+ content, Sarah! All of these albums sound and look (ugh the album art) fantastic. This was just the kind of primer I needed to start digging past the surface of the scene.
An interesting thing about Finnish DM is that it seems like the most influential bands from the 80s / 90s either dropped a few demos and EPs and like 1 album (Rippikoulu, Abhorrence, Funebre), or they had long careers where they eventually changed their style completely (Convulse, Amorphis, Sentenced). Almost nothing in between. Except for bands like Xysma, who had a short career but went weird and experimental right off the bat.
I love this episode, and the fact that Finnish death metal is finally getting the recognition Swedish death metal has had for years.
Amorphis chose the perfect name for their band. They were constantly changing.
It's nice to see Sarah and thanks for this short and comprehensive list of bands from Finland. As always Banger is kicking it out of the park.
Great video as always, and reminded me to listen to Convulse and Swallowed.
What an awesome video - so cool to see an underrated but essential and booming pocket of the metal scene getting some attention! I really feel that Finnish death metal is very unique and intriguing. Keep it up! Would you ever consider doing a video on DC/Maryland trad doom? Iron Man, Pentagram, The Obsessed, Internal Void, etc.
Thank you for posting this video! Finnish death metal needs to be recognized!
I’m so happy you guys mentioned Xysma. They’re easily one of the most interesting bands around and I can’t wait to hear what their new album sounds like.
This is awesome, I love the extreme metal dive-ins specially when isolating a country! Keep them coming!
Just found this channel. Awesome video, thanks for posting it.
Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!
Finland's #1 export is metal.
8:52 *Of course!*
By the title alone, it's pretty obvious that Blayne's all time favorite band will be very much included here. ❤
By the way.
*Rippikoulu* sounds like a clean & meaty version of *Archgoat.* And also, *Swallowed* literally kicks ass!
Excellent video as always Sarah, make more content for Banger! You are an invaluable resource for them I’m sure 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thank you for making this episode! Lantern is great! And hail Rippikoulu!
Finnish metal is too OP at this point, their black, doom and power metal bands are top-tier. No surprise that even their death metal bands are up there too, Hails to Finnish Metal. 🤘🏽
DEMONIC DEATH JUDGE!!!!!!!
Finnish Doom is awesome! Reverend Bizarre, Lord Vicar, Spiritus Mortis, Church of Void are awesome!
@@roshangupta1403 alright!!!
I'm glad that they mentioned Demilich.
Cool awesome brutal music.
I was wondering if Krypts, another fantastic Finnish band on Dark Descent, would make the list. Their 2019 album Cadaver Circulation is fucking awesome! Far as Lantern's Dimensions goes, I really wanted to like it but couldn't get on with the shouty vocals. The band's logo is amazing though
I was lucky enough to see lots of bands in this list in the UK at a helpfully named Finnfest last year. Getting to see Convulse, Demilich, Rippikoulu, Lantern and more in one weekend was truly something to behold.
Ahh Rippikoulu, real trailblazers, the first death metal band to feature cymbals and only cymbals on their albums.
Deathchain ~ Deadmeat Disciples is one of the best albums of all time,probably the most neckbreaking album ever made,
Paljon kiitoksia! That was cool! Even though I'm Finnish, I didn't know about half of the bands mentioned. That's probably because I'm not the biggest fan of death metal bands, and most of the bands I really enjoy only use elements of black/death metal. Oranssi Pazuzu is probably my favourite Finnish band. Their album Mestarin kynsi was my 2020 aoty.
Oranssi Pazuzu are fantastic and that album ruled!
Swallowed rips! So stoked to see them get some love here.
Damn Cemetery Fog are SIIIICK. Thanks for putting them in the shoutouts!
Interesting video! I'm way more familiar with Finnish Black Metal. One release that came out this year that is one of my favorites is from the Finnish Death Metal band Revulsion. That album is a great slab of pure Death Metal. Highly recommended!
Rippikoulu are badass,love that band
Also love Demilich
Great video Sarah! I kinda like Festerday which is brutal death metal from members of ...And Oceans :)
I saw Rippikoulu live and it was like being murdered and then having my corpse re-animated.
Awesome ! I will check out these albums!
Cool... now looking forward to watch the forthcoming Finnish Black Metal episode
I can't wait to move there! \m/ This video helping me dive into some awesome Finnish music.
Great show! Bought 3 Unholy release’s, 1 LP and 2 CDs. Waiting for my Lp releases.
Great episode!
Even though my fav. Finnish band (besides Eläkeläiset) is Rotten Sound (HM-2-grind with some Death elements) I really enjoyed the picks & will dig deeper.
THE LEGEND GONILOC GETTING A SHOUTOUT LET'S GOOOOOOOOO
From newer releases I would shout out Only Ashes Remain by Sepulchral Curse. Some classic finish Death Metal with some Black Meal and melodic touches. Other than that I think Demilich is just classic. Till this day one of the craziest Death Metal albums I've heard. Obviously because of these absolutely disgusting vocals which I just cant fathom.
Great episode as usual. Glad you brought back this show
Sepulchral curse are excellent, good shout out dude🤘🏻.
Once again great stuff!
Nice reviews! Cheers from Brazil
I'm heading to Helsinki for work and was wondering if there are any local metal clubs or record stores to check out
Just want to say: Demigod reigns supreme!!!!!!..... crushes all Finnish death metal even to today ... and with all the better technology now existing.
They were just kids...the sound was perfect too.
These new bands have much worse audio than the original bands....The labels aren't investing nearly as much into achieving quality recordings anymore. Original Demigod, Sentenced, Mordicus still are the best sounding releases from Finland.
Also fwiw, Funebre out-riff pretty much anyone else in this video, even Demilich (count the riffs!)
Concrete Winds(ex-Vorum) is easily the best Finnish DM band atm and one of the few bands that actually have balls to break boundaries.
Fucking best disco beat recorded in this century too
Finland is without a doubt home to THE BEST Death Doom bands and where the genre started, but their death metal bands often are underrated and overlooked. My favs: Demilich, Abhorrence, Demigod, Convulse, Purtenance, Desolate Shrine, and Vorum. Also don't sleep on Lantern, fantastic Black/Death.
Finnish Death Metal is definitely one of my favourite veins of the genre. A huge diversity in sound with an overall gloomy feel often present! Rotting Ways To Misery is essential reading for any Finnish Death lovers! Finnfest (in the UK) was also one of the best shows I have ever been to.
My favorites are early (Abhorrence)Amorphis, early Sentenced, Demigod, Demilich and Adramelech. Also Depravity and Purtanance are very great. Love almost all of these bands, the New Hooded Menace is also a recommended album!
Cryptic Hatred, Azatoth, Malformed, Disguised Malignance, Morbific, Sadistic Drive, Galvanizer, Whisper, EOUI, Devil’s Vomit… There’s some newer Finnish death metal from 2010s and 2020s. All of ’em rule, I’ve seen everyone of them live
Thank you so much appreciating finnish Death Metal. 🇫🇮 🤘😎
thanks for watching!
At least Amorphis got a by mention
Not death metal really (anymore), hardly need a boost.
Love the focus on Finnish Death Metal, my favorite sub genre…..correct me if I’m wrong….I don’t ever remember hearing Insomnium mentioned on any Banger video….I thought it would get a mention here :(
Maybe if they do a melodic death metal episode they will. I believe they were brought up on Lock Horns back in the day when they were updating the mdm list of bands.
@@passionateintrovert I believe you are right, I vaguely remember that episode. I’m majorly biased….Insomnium is in my all time top 5…..so naturally I just wish they got more love :)
Slumber of Sullen Eyes is fucking sick.
Uffff.... Amazing record... Stay True
Flowers or not, you're always beautiful. Do you like the band Sotajumala? The album Death metal Finland are great!!
For Finnish DM that leans toward the doom side then look no further than the mighty Solothus. Their 2020 album Realm Of Ash And Blood was an absolute crushing beast.
Demigod and Demilich are one of my favourite Finnish death metal bands. Their music is very unique.
World Without God deserves 5/5 so hard. Nice job. Sarah got me into this album from her recommendation of it in her review of Tomb Mold's Planetary Clairvoyance. Both are excellent records.
My first deep dive into Finnish metal was Kaunis Koulematon's Vapaus.
It's good.
That Vacant Coffin album is great. Probably my favorite of the scene. 16 songs in 33 dirty, grimy minutes. Thanks for the video, Sarah! North America will miss you.
Very cool video Sarah! Just a bit surprised that after you language course you still seem to mispronounce many words like Kalevala, Makkonen and Rippikoulu, not to mention Joensuu, my hometown for a while! 😉
this was filmed way back in April.
@@BangerTV Aaah, gotcha! Best of luck in the greatest country on earth!
@@BangerTV Speaking a foreign language is an act of courage, and in true Finnish fashion someone always has to say that you made a mistake here or there :D Please don't let that discourage you, you're awesome!
Sarah's big eyes constantly focusing on cue cards throughout lol. Great bands mentioned. Thank you Banger!!
holy shit! i love the intro song!
Every time I see Rippikoulu I hear their name in Goniloc's voice..
*_HØØDĒD MÊNĀCË MĒNTĪØNĘD_*
Easily the best death metal scene
Slugathor and Adramelech are sick finnish death metal bands.
I have this book... my bestie gave it to my for my birthday!
Markus Makonnen's death metal band Sadistik Forest is one of my favorites
I'm quite sure it is due to all the great metal, Finland is the happiest country in the world.
Xysma debut is Yeah from 1991. A cool death'nroll album that came out 2 years before Entombed exploded with Wolverine Blues.
Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I want to be
Pony trekking or camping or just watch tv
Finland, Finland, Finland
It's the country for me
You're so near to Russia
So far away from Japan
Quite a long way from Cairo
Lots of miles from Vietnam
really want one of these on occult metal bands like the devils blood and in solitude
I’m checking them out
Noo! The first album by Xysma was "yeah" booo-ho-ho-ho now I don't want to marry that lady ;_;
On a more serious tone, solid video. Finnish Death Metal is the best. Thanks for the recommendations, suggesting Krypts second album
Fun fact: Finland produces more metal bands per capita than any other country in the world.
interesting fact!
She looks like a very friendly librarian
I agree. I'm Finnish and a librarian, and she looks like one of my co-workers😎🤟
@@mattieskola7910 She even suggests awesome reading material !
Ive always loved Finnish death metal. I love the gloomy death sound. Its one of my favorite area for death metal.
Awesome bands, Convulse, Demilich and Demigod are favorites from list. But question about Winter War... If Finnish army crushed USSR's army, why Finland has lost 11% of territory....
Yes. Sarah is the best!
Thank you.
Lantern! Nice. Would have went with Below as it's their best, but still.
9:05 Instant Love
Best newcomer BURDEN CALLED GOD. Best death metal in years
Most part of runes for Kalevala were gathered on territory of Russian Karelia btw
More Sarah!
Winter war wasn't a war between Finland and Russia. It was a war between Finland and USSR. USSR included far more than just Russia. The decisions were made in Moscow, yes, but the soldiers in USSR armies weren't just russians.
Finnish Death Metal has some of the heaviest and grooviest riffs. Very doomy.
I need to watch this again with a notepad

As a mexican, i know nothing about Finnish culture, i need to read more, thank you Sarah!
Lots of great bands in Finland! Also nice to mention Xysma, Sarah, but you made a mistake. 'First and Magical' was not their first album. Their first was 'Yeah'. An awesome album, very original and much better than the album you mentioned (in my opinion).
My favorite Finnish DM album has to be 'Pimps of the Living Dead' by Lithuria 🤘
Sotajumala is hands down the epitome of Finnish death metal
