Insomnium

If you like Finnish metal like Taneli Jarva era Sentenced or Amorphis, you should definitely embrace what these guys are doing. They're quite amazing.

  i dig it

used to listen to this band a good bit. I kinda got tired of the whole melodic thing though

now I only listen to a few classics here and there

I like some of their songs, even though I'm not really into melodic anymore.
Used to like playing one of their songs on guitar, and in fact their guitarist taught me a bit while back   

Since you're from Finland, you're allowed to get tired of Finnish music. Also: Welcome!

Thanks!

what are some of your favorite finnish bands, harm o knee?

A lot of the metal bands like Wintersun, Kalmah and stuff. Some gothrock like HIM, too.

But I still like rock bands like Kingston Wall and Hidria Spacefolk the most.

What do you like? I'd like to hear what other people think.

kalmah rules   

I don't really get into too many finish bands, not a big fan of that wintersun sound, I cant describe it


but I do like some amorphis, sentenced, and swallow the sun

oh, and the best band in finland

I've listened to some Insomnium lately for old times sake.

Some of the best finnish music currently for me are:

Lordi uhm, I mean..

Beastmilk
Jess and the Ancient Ones (they have some good occult stuff)
early Amorphis
early Apocalyptica
Swallow the Sun (New Moon was good)
Kalmah
Barathrum (a few classic black metal takes)
Hexvessel (they've made some nice simple, relaxing stuff)
some Tenhi and Wolfheart

There's alot more of course that I enjoy, like older finnish bands and folk music, but it's too much to get into.

In Scandinavia generally I like the current retro rock movement with the likes of Witchcraft, Blues Pills etc. popping up. And of course the desert stuff (Truckfighters  )

Back when I was a little kid, I used to listen to Children Of Bodom, Omnium Gatherum and the likes, but not much into that type of melodic metal stuff anymore.

Also I always get a kick out of some Ajattara.
