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

Mine was HIM, and is still my fav band. Then, I knew about The 69 Eyes, Hanoi Rocks, Children of Bodom, Apocalyptica, Entwine, Sonata Artica, Nightwish,Teräsbetoni, Negative, Eternal Tears of Sorrow and For My Pain. Ah, and recently I started listening to Turisas.
(I put only the ones I liked )


What was your first finnish band?

H.I.M. , INDICA (: , apocalyptica , nightwish , the rasmus (:

H.I.M,The Rasmus

I never liked those KISS type metal stuff though I am a Rock fan and Indian classical songs. I first came to know of Lordi, then Nighwish....

I like a couple of songs of Nighwish-Sleeping Sun and Phantom of the Opera

I'm not sure who the first Finnish band I heard was, because it was at least 10 years ago and my memory isn't that good It was possibly Nightwish playing Sleeping sun. The first band I really got into though and still love is Sentenced. There are many more I love too. I am always looking out for more and have recently discovered Tracedawn. They are brilliant and if you haven't heard them yet, do your self a favour.

Maybe something like Darude? He's Finnish, right? haha but that's not rock or metal..sorry! haha
Then it would be by The Rasmus (the huge In the shadows hit came to my ears too!) but I really started to ''fell in love with Finland'' because of H.I.M., I've always thought they are the best band on Earth-ever ! (but lets just forget Venus Doom who's just...not that good!)
Anyway, from there I started to listen to loooooooots and looooots of Finnish bands!
yay!!

The Rasmus... and the HIM and slowly almost all the bands that i know and listen to today

The Rasmus (when I was in primary school, haha!), Him... but I got really interested in Finnish music after hearing Ensiferum After came Norther, Korpiklaani, Teräsbetoni, Children Of Bodom, Apocalyptica, Uniklubi...

the first finnish band I heard was sentenced and the song was nepenthe, I think it was in 1995...I just realized how old I am

Anyway it was the beginning of magic!

The two first bands I heard were Children of Bodom and Amorphis. But unfortunately we don't hear much about finish bands down here...
