Finland Is The Boss

The more I have listened to Finnish musicians talk, the more I think there are some similarities between Canada and Finland. Canada also has harshly cold winters with limited daylight, high swamp and forest areas, remote towns, universal healthcare, wild berries to pick, and nature to check out.

But one of the most intriguing aspects of the Finland, and the reason I think they are the boss (in gaming terms) is the large amount of metal bands that have come from this area and the love for this style of music. This country understands heavy music!

Whether it is bands that seem to reach the deepest parts of me, or bands that have spoken to others around the world, Finland is worth mentioning. Here are some bands that are Fins!
