sgtmajjohnson (01/09/2016) [-] Why is metal such a huge thing in the Scandinavian countries? They seem like the least "metal" countries on earth, except for Finland. Finland is pretty brutal, but you need to be when Russia invades you every 3 days.

eplejuice (01/09/2016) [-] I would recommend reseaching the Norwegian black metal scene, where black metal stems from.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Norwegian_black_metal_scene
know it facts and myths, its quite entertaining

whimsicalmagnus (01/10/2016) [-] not a reliable source fag
joking aside that was kind of interesting but I personally prefer Folk Metal from the Scandinavian countries, like Korpiklaani and Finntroll, none the less pretty intresting, might check out the bands when get the itch for something different

subspacessparta (01/10/2016) [-] The story about Per Ohlin, the vocalist in the band Mayhem is really interesting imo.
Here's a imgur album about him which describes his life pretty well.
pic related, Per Ohlin.

eplejuice (01/10/2016) [-] ye he is definitely an interesting guy. I feel sorry for him tho, his depression and suicide was exploited by euronymous
quote from wikipedia
Necrobutcher recalls how Euronymous told him of the suicide:
Øystein called me up the next day ... and says, "Dead has done something really cool! He killed himself". I thought, have you lost it? What do you mean cool? He says, "Relax, I have photos of everything". I was in shock and grief. He was just thinking how to exploit it. So I told him, "OK. Don't even ******* call me before you destroy those pictures".

metalexplain (01/09/2016) [-] (I asumme that you're from Norway). Actually, there were several Proto-Black Metal acts much earlier than in Norway. UK (Venom), Sweden (Bathory), Japan (Sabbat, White Hell...)

It's also worth to note that Nordic people that live up north in isolation are the equivalent of American rednecks. So yeah, they're about as badass as a fat American rancher with a gun collection. They themselves think they're cool and badass, but everyone else just looks down on them.

internetexplain (01/09/2016) [-] did I say black metal is bad?
something being autistic doesn't render it bad.
how about you stop making assumptions for a second and think about why one could possibly have a different opinion than you.

tkfourtwoone ONLINE (01/09/2016) [-] Because metal music in general stands for rebellion/non-comformity/against the system type of mindset, which coupled with the Scandinavians' interest for their Norse culture and a stand against the imposed Christian church, well, that's what you get.
Of course, that's only part of the roots of black metal, a lot of the rest of the approach stems from nihilistic and/or misanthropic mentalities.

metalexplain (01/09/2016) [-] But even earlier before Scandinavian Black Metal, there was a big wave of Scandinavian Heavy Metal bands.

tkfourtwoone ONLINE (01/09/2016) [-] Not that prominent, however. Most Scandinavian acts took the torch, sort of speak, from Brit bands that started the "extreme metal" trend, like Venom
Let's face it, except for Denmark, the rest of the Scandinavian (and Finland) countries are known for bands such as Celtic Frost, Mayhem, Daktrthrone, Emperor, etc.

metalexplain (01/09/2016) [-] Well, it depends from which view you see it. Of course Scandinavian Countries are mostly know because of Black Metal bands, but if you want to talk about European Heavy Metal, Thrash, Speed, you have bands such as Heavy Load, Artillery, Europe, Torch, Hexenhaus, mighty Mercyful Fate & King Diamond (which was labeled in the early 80s as Black Metal. First concept of Black Metal was just about Satanism.), Oz, Mindless Sinner, Gotham City, Pretty Maids, Agony... and the list goes on and on...
P.S. Aren't Celtic Frost from Switzerland?

tkfourtwoone ONLINE (01/09/2016) [-] I was talking about Scandinavian metal, mostly. Of course there's a ******** of European metal (which, personally, I find more attractive than US metal bands, especially after the 2000s) like Kreator, Testament and whatnot
However, I don't think anyone can't deny that early black/death metal bands from Northern Europe were heavily influenced by Brit (and some American) bands. That's what I was trying to get across.
From my point of view, they took some of the core concepts and turned it up to 120%, while distilling some elements.

tkfourtwoone ONLINE (01/09/2016) [-] >Implying Dimmu Borgir were relevant
Don't get me wrong, I love the **** out of Dimmu up until Abrahadabra - but let's face it, their only impact was making pseudo-black metal commercial and/or accessible

hfw ONLINE (01/09/2016) [-] I'd say it's because of how important scandinavian countries have been to black and death metal.
Norway is renowned to be the birthplace of black metal, and alot of influential figures to the black metal scene came from Norway. We've also got some pretty big death metal bands, and the same goes for Sweden and Finland.
Sweden (along with the UK), were the fathers of melodic death metal, and along with Finland, are the biggest in the subgenre.

holmborn (01/09/2016) [-]
thats a very narrow view. We have a lot more bands that produce rock and metal. They are just not as widely known.
Volbeat, like you mentioned is danish, Metallica's drummer is danish just to name a few.
making music is a tough job, and its even tougher to make money from it. the toughest part is getting noticed.

To be fair Volbeat is also one of, if not the biggest metal band in Scandinavia atm. But we have a lot of very good metal here. Mnemic, Svartsot, Huldre, Artillery, Mercyful Fate only to name a few.

doitlater (01/09/2016) [-] all I was saying was that because there are no park rangers the work done by park rangers is 0. But if 75% of the work is looking for black metal bands that would mean 75% of 0, what is still 0. that´s why the statement that 75% of scandinavian park ranger,s work is rescuing metal bands is correct because of the absence of rangers.
