Thread: What was the first Rock/Metal band from Finland that you knew?

I first heard Children of Bodom back in like.. 1997 or 1998, except I never realized they were Finnish. Then, came cKy2k and HIM.. and from there I got to know Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, Tarot, Northern Kings, Sinergy, Finntroll, Rasmus, Satyricon...

i've discovered finland through nightwish:P

I think first finnish group i heard of was Him

Hanoi Rocks doing "Up around the Bend" with Axl Rose from GnR. It knocked my d*@k in the ground. This was in the late 80's early 90's. I don't remember, that whole decade was a bit of blur.

The Rasmus was the first one but I never liked a lot. Then I met HIM and I completely felt in love with Finland. After Ville Valo came Jonne Aaron from Negative, another finnish band I love and then Uniklubi, which made me want learn Finnish to sing their songs

Amorphis long time ago... and fell in love with it... But I must say Stam1na was, and still is my favorite Finnish band. Then Kotiteollisuus and Mokoma. And I recently find out about FM2000. Fun! I could bring up more but I won't

hymm HIM,Apocaliptyca,The Rasmus

For me it was HIM and then Nightwish, though I think Nightwish is a little overrated.
