Episode 143 – Finnish Metal

Finland is a country where Metal is heavily appreciated, even in the mainstream. The country has spawned and continues to spawn quality in several genres, from Power Metal to Doom Metal. It was time to make a Finnish Special, but we never got around doing one. One of listeners, Chris Mortier, re-awakened the idea of such an episode back in October. Trying to avoid the big names as much as possible, we found several bands that would make the list more interesting. The range is wide: Power Metal, Black Metal, Doom Metal, Gothic Metal, Thrash Metal, … On top of that our beloved Polina managed to catch Stratovarius’s Jörg Michael for an interview. Sit back, learn and foremost enjoy!
