More Scandinavian music, please.

[Ingvina Freyr]

I need to expand my music library with more Scandinavian music. So I thought, with all the Scandies on this forum, that this might be a good place to start asking for suggestions. What I want, primarily, are names of Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic and Finnish artists, preferably singing in their respective language. Please also tell me if there is any special song or album I should look for, and perhaps some other information that might be worth knowing.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Hitti-Litti]

YUP and Hassisen Kone. IMO worth of listening. Search YouTube to hear some at the start.

...And Oceans's early albums are in Finnish. You won't understand a word though, even if you spoke Finnish.

Gehenna's albums are in ... some language which I'm unsure of. I guess Swedish? This is their best album that I like: "Seen Through the Veils of Darkness". Their song Vinterrikket is awesome.

Satyricon is from Norway but they sing in English. I recommend "Volcano" from them.

Entombed is from Sweden, but they sing in English. Their album Clandestine I consider to be the best death metal album ever. Everything they did after Clandestine sucks though.

What type of music do you want? Metal? Humourous singer/songwriters? Something else?

 

[Ingvina Freyr]

All kinds of music I guess. I'm not to fond of hiphop or hard core jazz though.

 

[Yoda Power]

The most famous Danish band that actually sings in Danish at this moment is Nephew.

Pop rock with hints of electronica.

edit: Seems you can even listen to their album in the right corner.

 

[Inhalaattori]

These are all from Finland. Metal/Rock. Amorphis and Babylon Whores are some of my favourite bands.

I guess you're not referring to metal, since I consider European metal bands to be on average slightly better than American ones.

Never heard about him.

 

[storealex]

Never heard about him.

Of course. He sings in Danish. Im sure people in Timbuktu never heard of him either.

OK, redefine "everybody".

 

[storealex]

OK, redefine "everybody".

What? It's a figure of speech...

 

[ArneHD]

OK, redefine "everybody".

I think it is implied that when a music lover says "Everyone loves him!" he means everyone that matters i.e. everyone who loves him.

All others are misguided or havn't heard him.
