This is my reaction to Top 10 Finnish Metal Bands Ever
In this video I react to 10 Finnish metal rock music bands to learn more about the many bands in the scene after my introduction with Nightwish
#finland #music #reaction
Original Video - • Top 10 FINNISH METAL B...
"Hevisaurus" is metal/ heavyband for kids here in Finland. Check out song "100". There is many visitors in video.
Ei saatana, kuuntelin tota joskus 5 vuotiaana. Kiitos muistutuksesta.
Missing alot of top bands such as Mokoma and Stam1na, both sing in finnish. From older bands Sentenced should have been on the list as well. It's still playing in radios and it's also inspiration to many metal band that came after.
not only Mokoma and Stam1na, this list misses the like of Turmion Kätilöt aswell. really feel Mert needs to do a reaction to Finnish metal sung in finnish.
Sentenced is a legend.
myös wintersunin pitäs ollla
Trio Niskalaukaus
Sentenced pitäisi kyllä ehdottomasti olla listalla. Kymmenen joukkoon ei ikävä kyllä mahdu kaikkien kommentoijien lempibändit, kyllä mäkin rankkaisin Sotajumalan tohon top-10:een, tyyliin Finntroll, Sonata Arctica & Nightwish pois, ja Sentenced, Stone & Sotajumala tilalle. Stam1nakin on todella kova, samoin Mokoma, mutta kyllä listan bändit on mun mielestä kovempia.
Lisäksi mä uskallan väittää, että folk metalin puolella tunnetuin suomalainen bändi lienee Turisas, ei Finntroll/Ensiferum, vaikka nekin molemmat on kovia, Ensiferum kylläkin paljon kovempi omaan makuuni. Luulisin, että jopa Moonsorrow on finntrollia tunnetumpi maailmalla? Sen lisäksi lista suosii liikaa pelkästään folk-&Power metal -bändejä, meillä on paljon kovaa heviä about joka genreen.. Missä kunnon bläkkis tai dödis? Thrashiakin meiltä toki löytyisi, ja deathrasia yms.. :)
Miten kukaan ei muista esimerkiksi STONE:a? Suomen historian kovimpia thrash metal -bändejä (tai ainakin 2 ekaa levyä.. :D ). Ehdottomasti ois top 10 -kamaa, mun mielestä tasoltaan ihan isoimpien jenkki-thrashmetalbändien veroinen. Ei nyt ehkä ihan big 4 -tasoa, mutta aika pitkälti samalla levelillä kuin vaikkapa Testament, Exodus, Pantera etc.. Stone oli nerokas. Ne vaan oli vähän myöhässä liikkeellä.. Sotajumala puolestaan on mun mielestä ehdottomasti kovimpia, ellei kovin dödisbändi, mut nää on sit just niitä makuasioita. :D Ja mun mielestä kyllä myös esim deathchain on kovempi, kuin moni listan tilulilu-/kiljumishevibändeistä. :D
Some great bands in this video. Alexi Laiho (lead guitarist/vocalist) from Children of Bodom unfortunately died in 2020.
Yeah, we lost guitar hero legend that time. Good band to react for Mert 🙏
Onorable bands mention : SENTENCED, POISONBLACK, H.I.M., LORDI, CHARON, TO DIE FOR, TAROT, CATAMENIA, KALMAH, LULLACRY, NORTHER, SINERGY, THE 69 EYES, THE BLACK LEAGUE, STONE, TURISAS, TIMO TOLKKI`S PROJECTS and mannnnnyyyyyy more. Hail to Finland from Romania!!!!
Oh god, not To Die For! 😂 Saw them a few times as a teen, my bestie liked them. TDF was really lame, but in an adorable way, I guess 😂 They were never popular here, so it's awesome that someone in Romania remembers them! 😂
Actually not having Wintersun is a crime.
Should be number 2. Right after Ensiferum.
It was btw Tarja Turunen singing (referring to Nightwish), not Floor Jansen 😊 Worth checking out more of Tarja’s performances.
Also worth checking out is Battle Beast! They are great fun (in my opinion). Their lead vocalist Noora Louhimo has a great voice.
Those short clips really didn't do justice to any band. Insomnium is one of my all time favorites and I like to call it "atmospheric metal", a lot of nice instrument melodies and most their songs have no distortion -parts. Another great finnish band for similar vibes is Ghost Brigade. One of the more known all time greats missing from here is Sentenced.
Short clips and metal doesn't really work.
This list was OK, EXEPT the grave mistake not even mentioning Wintersun!? I mean cmon, They are my clear runner up to Nightwish.
Yep...Jari is every bit the genius that Tuomas is. If only he had the same work ethic lol.
Wintersun Time is my favorite from them
czcams.com/video/4UMwLxFNKS0/video.htmlsi=hg3bIhAOHoiTJ1_n
Agree🤘
I concur
And not even Tarot.
The clips selected on the video made the bands seem less diverse than they actually are. The bands on the list have been around for decades and done different kind of songs during that time so also their own music can be quite diverse and difficult to sum up in just one 15 sec sample. The best genre is of course the symphonic, post-apocalyptic, reindeer-grinding, Christ-abusing, extreme, war, pagan, Fennoscandic metal (From a comedy movie 'Heavy Trip').
lol "Heavy Trip 2" is coming out soon, yay!
Yes! It's already in post-production and will be titled as "Heavier trip"@@mennawaris144
@@harrihakala3884 Great! Can’t wait!
Yep. The clips really are very similar and does not show their differences.
There are many bands that also deserved to be in this video, for example Wintersun, Battle Beast, Sentenced and my favorite Turmion Kätilöt
One up vote for sentenced 🤘
Thanks for entertaining me & also promoting Finnish metal. Finland is the metal kingdom of the world with little over 700 metal bands per 1M citizens. No other country comes even close- e.g. the US has about 70/1M.
Wintersun, Ensiferum, and Mors Principium Est need to be mentioned in this conversation. \m/ Two current members of Nightwish, Kai and Jukka, are also (maybe, still hahaha if Wintersun still exists) in Wintersun.
Wintersun was nro 1 for me.
Also Wolfheart, Brymir and Omnium Gatherum
Yes! There are so many great bands: Belzebubs, Moonsorrow, Turmion Kätilöt, Mokoma, Warmen, Stam1na, Kalmah, Brymir, Turisas... just to mention some 😄
Mors Principium, Insominium, Nightwish..Wintersun, Bodom, Amorphis, Strato....so fekking good!
2:38 Ensiferum
If you are also interested in the so-called "battle metal" and "viking metal" style in addition to folk metal, I recommend checking out the Turisas band. 😉
Moonsorrow should definitely be here. One of the best bands ever out of any country full stop.
😂😂😂🎉! Its so funny, how you have so strong scottish accent!! 🎉🎉😂! So cool, i love it! ❤🎉
I'm okay with the list, though I think Battle Beast should have been on it.
I recommend that you check out the Nightwish song that was on this list. It's really good. It's called Wismaster and the live performance is from a concert called End of an Era. It also includes Nightwish's original singer, Tarja Turunen😊
Mokoma would be also great band to check. They are singing in Finnish. But also they have been here a long time.
Sentenced belongs there for sure.
Basically a list of "hey which songs and live performances could we pick to make these bands seems as sh***y as possible"
Seems like a list from a death metal fan, where those bands and which songs were picked seem a bit over represented at the bottom considering that, after black metal, that is the second most niche/divise metal genre.
But unlike in most lists like these thr top 6 seems to be super accurate, even if the video made them sound like garbage. The 10 to 7 are a bit arguable, but at least all of these bands are very popular, good and at the very top of the scene.
Notably missing from the list that could/should be there depending on how the list was made: Mokoma, Turisas, Wintersun, HIM, Lordi, Stamina, Turmion Kätilöt and Moonsorrow
Even Rasmus and Apulanta could be included with some of their songs and collabs even if they are mosly rock/pop bands and Hanoi Rocks as well for being rock band with a metal twist
Since you enjoy Nightwish i think you would also really like Battle Beast!!
The artists name is Noora Louhimo and she"s just incredible with her vocals!
Here"s a official music video and a LIVE RAW version of them:
RAW: czcams.com/video/ZQiTyBc2JKc/video.html
Official music video: czcams.com/video/SZzhUPe-Bck/video.html
Definately, Battle Beast gets my vote!
I concur
I heard Noora had surgery,i hope she is doing well and wish her all the best.✊🤘
I concur
Also Beast in Black, whose composer used to be part of Battle Beast.
I would love to see you check out The 69 Eyes (gothic metal). Song Brandon Lee for example. They are my favorite Finnish band, but I like more of their older stuff.
As a metalhead and kind of specialized into Finnish Metal (because they are easiest to see live here in Finland) this is a surprisingly good list. Of course there are no wrong answers in musical opinions. Insomnium (solid),Finntroll (fun),Korpiklaani (my favourite band in the world),Ensiferum (solid),Sonata Arctica (excellent example of finnish power metal),Amorphis (solid,heh thats kinda funny since Amorphis is originally misspelled amorphous which is opposite of solid),Apocalyptica(fun),Stratovarius (the band that got me into metal over 20 years ago),Children of Bodom (were a great band,I think they were the closest band to make it big in america of all finnish bands in history),Nightwish (literally the best selling finnish artist or band of all time of any genre). I obviously got like 100 bands I could mention here but let's say you might want to check out some of the following : pioneers of finnish metal from the 80s (Tarot and Stone probably the best ones), Sarcofagus released 2 first finnish metal albums in 1980 but I think they are more like a curiosity than great,good for their time, some say finnish black metal is top ones if not the best in the world (Horna,Sargeist,Barathrum,Azaghal,Enochian Crescent,Impaled Nazarene,Satanic Warmaster,Ajattara,Baptism,Goatmoon,Behexen,Alghazanth),Moonsorrow (most epic band of finland),Waltari (easily switches genre midsong and back),Turmion Kätilöt (popular industrial metal,not sure if you like it if you dont know finnish),Rotten Sound (best grindgore band I have heard), solid ones if not great so basically honourable mentions of bands that i have listened over 100 songs of : (Sotajumala,Lordi,Mokoma,Swallow the Sun,Bloodred Hourglass,Deathchain,Kotiteollisuus,Urn,The Crescent,Total Devastation,Wolfheart,Zero Nine,Turisas,Hellbox,Nicole and Rytmihäiriö). edit : now that i looked at other comments then obviously I missed Stam1na,Sentenced,Wintersun,Battle Beast,Mors Principium Est,Ghost Brigade,Beast in Black,Tarja,Amberian Dawn,KALMAH (how the hell i missed them??)
Melodic Death Metal from nordic countries is top quality stuff
If you liked Sonata Arctica, Battle Beast, Beast in Black, Amberian Dawn and The Dark Element should have been on your list. Even if some bands have only partly Finnish members.
I recommend Children of Bodom. Aleksi Laiho was one of the best guitar player in the whole world and he died few years ago in his forties. Try Are you dead yet.
Great thing in Finnish metal is that we have something for everybody. I am not a metal head, but I appreciate many of them a lot. My favourites are probably Sonata Arctica and Mokoma. Also Nightwish. (My mum (in her 60s) likes metal Christmas concerts and goes to Nightwish gigs. She is even less metal head than I am. But she has found her thing.) As a teenager, I listened much more metal music as it helped me to calm down. Nowadays, I don't need it for that purpose as I can regulate my emotions more easily also without music...but still some metal music I listen every now and then.
Fun fact, Stam1na has helped me to remember how to spot if somebody is having a stroke. 🤘😍 In their song 'Aivohalvaus' (Stroke) they say (in Finnish) "Smile/ Rise your arms / Say short, clear sentence / If you don't obay, you are drunk / Or there is stroke in your head." = "Hymyile / Nosta kädet ilmaan / Sano lyhyt selkeä lause /Jos et tottele olet päissäsi / Tai on päässäsi aivohalvaus." I appreciated this so much that I even told about this song in first aid class I was participating. The instruction is correct and makes it easy to remember. If you are having stroke, there might be one half of face/ body having paralysis symptoms (hard to smile with both sides of mouth and/or rise both arms fully. Also you might have hard time speaking clearly. Mumbling is common.
Beast In Black ⁉️⁉️ Good video!!
From this list my favorites are: Nightwish, Amorphis and Apocalyptica. Amorphis and Apocalyptica i saw in concerts, were amazing.
Hello from Alaska! I love Finnish Heavy Metal!
All ten bands presented are great! Having said that i find the list lacking. The biggest mistake is leaving out some bands singing in Finnish like Stam1na and Mokoma - that makes this top 10 not that representative of the scene in Finland. Well, every list is based on someone's preferences, isn't it? So, to each his/her own.
loved that a super lot. gold tier level of quality. 🔥🔥🔥Btw would love to see you react on Dark by October Ends
Nightwish is "symphonic metal", if you like this style you should check out :
"Epica" and "Within Temptation" (dutch)
"Ad Infinitum" (swiss)
"Beyond the Black" and "Xandria" (german)
"Visions of Atlantis" (austrian)
Also an absolute fantastic metal band, that does mostly power metal but also some more symphonic stuff is "Lovebites" from japan
Epica is the best in the game right now and by far the one with the most cohesive discography
I also highly recommend checking out the band called Beast in Black. The band's music is such a fascinating mix of electronic music and metal.
Pretty good cutout from the bands that are active and very known also abroad. If you look at foreign metal festivals and their line-ups, you see many of these names there :D Battle Beast and Beast in Black are not mentioned here though that should really get a shoutout.
I am not a metalhead, but even I have heard of all of them except number 10. So probably a pretty accurate list.
Haha good list, not one single fan of metal can really like all these songs but they are all pretty great in their own way.
The land of Metal- Finland. Go a head, Lisen at this bands from list- Apocalytica, Children of Bodom, Finntroll, Korpiklaani, Sonata Artica, Nightwish and countine whit more from list..
And you then know Finnish metal in all their form..Deep dark lyrics, powerful energy and lovely voices 🖤
There are so many good bands. I would insist adding Blind Channel, Arion (check this is in english, there´s apparently another band just appeared by the same name), Diablo and 69eyes to this list
The clip from Insomnium was nothing compared to their newer stuff. It is sooooo melodic and makes you drift away ❤.
Always brings my mind Trainspotting when i hear you talking lol. 👍
This is a nice introduction list, and I have been counting, I've seen the half of these bands live at least once (actually going to see Amorphis again in two days 🤘), Apocalyptica I've seen like three times and would do so again, they are my favourite band. I love both power metal and symphonic metal, but melodic death metal can also be amazing - Insomnium has some beautiful songs, for example. The band I think is missing and should be there is definitely Tarot. But there are so many good bands in Finland, I bet it was hard to choose the top ten 😂
Why wasn't Wintersun among the 10?
Definitely need to check out Battlelore. Male and female vocals. The entire band are excellent musicians. The just released their first album after a 10 year break, The Return of the Shadow. Tolkien Folk Metal! Love them!
Asking to choose is like picking a favorite from my children. I lean more towards syphonic metal but they are all good including bands from abroad. Very nice you listen to them👍🤘
Children of bodom/ Alex Laiho
Laiho received a Metal Hammer Golden Gods prize in the category of Dimebag Darrell Shredder Award in 2008.[23]
Laiho received widespread acclaim for his guitar work and according to AllMusic, he is "widely celebrated as one of the genre's most accomplished players". In 2004 he was ranked No. 96 out of 100 Greatest Heavy Metal Guitarists of All Time by Guitar World. Guitar World magazine has also ranked him as one of the 50 fastest guitarists in the world. In addition, Roadrunner Records ranked Laiho at No. 41 out of 50 of the greatest metal frontmen. Furthermore, Total Guitar conducted a public voting poll to determine the greatest metal guitarist of all time; Laiho was voted No. 1 out of 20 metal guitarists, with over 20% of the vote.
I thinkbig part of music in finland is that you can start a school you have an option to join a class that nurtures young musicans and has alot more music classes i was in one from grade 1 to 6 there is option for grades 7-9 too
You missed; Children Of Bodom, Archgoat, Ajattara, Horna, Behexen, Rotten Sound, Torture Killer, Deatchain, Wintersun and Turmion Kätilöt.
Surpringly Ajattara has not appeared on these comments more, for me it's one of THE bands :)
Amorphis is my number one band, though Insomnium and Ensiferum are my favorites too. I've never cared much of the categorization of music, but I guess that makes me fan of melodic death metal and maybe folk metal too.
I really enjoy Korpiklaani's music, especially the newer stuff. My favorite song of theirs is probably "Leväluhta" and I highly recommend checking it out. That song leans heavily to the folk music side and at times almost sounds like reggae.
Also if you liked the power metal stuff then you might want to listen to Teräsbetoni - Taivas lyö tulta. That song went super viral in the early 2000's and is just fun.
Great Bands, but Sentenced and Battle Beast should be in there... Kalmah is also a big favorite of mine... It's really crazy to think about the size of this country with all those bands in mind...
Best finnish metal bands not listed on the video: Sentenced, Skepticism, Beherit, Cryhavoc, Viikate and Kotiteollisuus.
Because christmas is coming you should check out Raskasta joulua (finnish christmas songs in metal versions). 🥰
I'm missing Wintersun, Mors Principium Est and Moonsorrow!!
Thanks. Takatalvi by Mokoma is my favorite after CHB. Rip Aleksi.
You really need to watch Nightwish - Greatest show on Earth live from Tampere. Shortest very long song I know.
First time I heard Apocalyptica was with their debut album 'plays Metallica on 4 cellos'. Blew me away. Later albums they added drums, with Dave fucking Lombardo appearing on some songs
Also Turmion Kätilöt and Altough Battle Beast is multinational and Mokoma and Stamina is worth checking.
I bet this list is an old one? Insomnium should be way up, BloodRed HourClass, Battle Beast, Wintersun, Beast in Black, Stam1na, Lost Society, Dark Sarah.... List goes on 😂
Hail from finland!
We have very long dark an cold winter, and especially in rural area youth has nothing better to do, than form a band, drink beer and have fun ;)
Not necessarily in that order
All in the top 6 are my favorites
Leaving Sentenced out of the list is criminal.
100% true.
Best finnish metal band of all time.
Power metal and folk metal are my favorites, I like Beast in Black, Apocalyptica, Nigthwish och Battle Beast most when it comes to Finnish metal.
Please React Amorphis The Bee, that was epic. It gives little bit Slipknot vibes, singer was so great to switch his vocals🤘
You definitely need to react to Apocalyptica songs! Nightwish and Apocalyptica are pretty much the only Finnish metal I can stand.
You have to check out Korpiklaani and some of their songs. ☺️👍👍
A lot of really good bands have already been mentioned here. I'll add a few more great bands to the list. Timo Rautiainen & trio niskalaukaus, Indica, the Rasmus and Apulanta
Surprisingly good list; could argue about the order of them, but glad they didn't include Lordi.
this was the "what you an hear in the finnish commercial radio -metal"
Brhg and swallow the sun should be on the list! They need more than one🤘 like cob❤️
My man Alexi (RIP legend) was done dirty here
Apocalyptica is amazing! I do like all of the bands mentioned on this list
I would say a pretty good list to start from, but there are hundreds of good bands out there, depending on your preferences. I lean towards symphonic and power metal, and I also like some folk tunes with traditional instruments mixed in. Nightwish has always been my favourite, but for example 20 years ago I listened a lot to Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica and Apocalyptica. Nowadays my goto bands are usually Nightwish and Wintersun. Interesting that Wintersun was not on the list, that is some epic music.
Vittu mua hävettää lukea tätä keskustelua. Jengi kuuntelee jotain naisten ja lasten metallia tai iskelmää särökitaralla. :D Oikeasti kovia suomalaisia bändejä ois esim. Impaled Nazarene ja Reverend Bizarre, joilla on iso kulttisuosio maailmalla. Ja sitten old school Death Metal scene 80-90-luvun taitteesta.
Just one opinion. I would rate 3 or 4 of these to my top 10 list of Finnish metal.
Wintersun and Amorphis ❤🎉
Nightwish, finntroll, korpiklaani, sonata arctica, stratovarius, Children of bodom, and one group that aint on this list HIM ❤❤ Love Metal.
I guess many people already said it but I would throw Battle Beast, Beast in Black and Blind Channel in the Mix. Also in my opinion not only finnish metal is good. I also like all kinds of other finnish music. Like Moon Shot (i guess rock), Chisu (Pop (?)), Tuure Kilpeläinen (no idea of the genre, my favorite is Autiosaari which i guess is Reagge). Oh, and i am not a finn ;)
I feel like bands 10-2 were from a corner of the metal scene that I never got fully into. I had at least heard of all of them, and even listened to songs of some. But there is plenty to choose from.
You can definitely see what kind of metal the person making this list like 😂 My list would be quite different. Even for folk metal Moonsorrow and Turisas are so much better than Ensiferum and Korpiklaani.
I was surprised HIM wasn't on this list, since it's a popular bands list.
Hello from Australia. An interviewer asked prog keyboard wizard Rick Wakeman why so many great prog bands came from the UK and so few from the US. He said it was because bands in the UK were not over-managed and had more freedom. I wonder if it is the same for Finland?
COB was basically the soundtrack of my teenage years, RIP Alexi Laiho.
RIP Alexi Laiho (singer/guitarist of Children of Bodom)
That list was makers opinion for sure, there was missing huge names like him, sentenced and many others.
Children of Bodom and Nightwish, but with Tarja
korpiklaani is one of my favorited!
FINNISH METAL BRUTALITY! BRING IT ON. SABATOOOOON!
Jeff Walker from Carcass made a grindcore country album with Finnish musicians, it's an absolutely weird and amazing piece of work! (Jeff Walker & the fluffers : Welcome to Carcass C*ntry), also Impaled Nazarene should ve on the list
I think my favourite genres of metal are the original heavy metal, symphonic/melodic, folk, power, and to a lesser extent progressive and doom/stoner. But that doesn't mean I restrict myself to those, or like everything in them! I've seen four Finnish metal bands live (listed favourite-first): Nightwish, Beast in Black, Lordi, and Turmion Kätilöt. That's more than I've seen from any other country. Finland has the greatest density of metal bands per head of population in the world, and is pretty close to the top with folk bands too!
I like Stratovarius, they have a Christmas album Heavy Christmas (Raskasta joulua), i am 66 yr old
This list highlights some good bands, but the Amorphis teaser was not the best song choice. Wintersun, Battle Beast, Dark Sarah, Turmion Kätilöt and of course the mighty Tarot are great representations of the diversity of Finnish rock and metal.
Not sure why Finland has such an amazing range of awesome bands. Although many of the artists are in more than one band, or do collaborations, so it seems to me they push their own boundaries more that way. However, I do wish I'd got to this party sooner. Only fell down this rabbit hole during the pandemic, but loving how much there is to explore.
Would also recommend checking out Bjørkø, one of the guitarists from Amorphis, Tomi Koivusaari's solo project. Silver Lake by Esa Holopainen is the other one and that's bloody good too.
Theres so many opinions as there are people who listens metal!
Looked like the best in early 2000´s. Would also add Before The Dawn, Wolfheart, Swallow the Sun, Mors Principium Est..
Finnish Melo Death
You have to watch "Raskasta joulua" on CZcams..so you can understand finnish heavy metal.
my personal favourite is amorphis
It is impossible to satisfy everyone, all these 10 bands in list are great, and bands like, Stam1na, mokoma, battle beast, tarot, diablo, wolfheart, beast in black, wintersun, turmion kätilöt for example rules.
Nightwish and sonata artica is the 2 from Finland i listen most to
Not having Wintersun as the number one is wrong but not even mentioning them is an absolutely crime.
Jari became a lazy and a douche,.true, but nonetheless the man is a musical genius. Self titled and Time are some of the best albums I've ever heard in my life
Since when has Jari become a douche? He's always been very nice.
And what makes you think he's lazy?
Metal is not my bread and butter, but proud to be Finn. Small country with many talents. IMHO Turmion kätilöt (loose translation midwives of ruination) could be interesting band to listen.
❤
It's Stam1na and Mokoma you should listen to. And older Stam1na as well! Do kadonneet kolme sanaa rather than valtiaan uudet vaatteet or panzerfaust or any of the newer stuff. I promise you it'll blow your mind
