Great documentary! \m/

1:19 Thank you. Metallica stole that riff from Stone.

I was a 90's Green Day and Offspring kid, but 1996 Sentenced - Noose changed it all for me. My family grew more worried as I grew more into this culture, I witnessed the early Nightwish, Children of Bodom, Amorphis, HIM, Insomnium etc. gigs and have the early demos from Finnish metal bands like Moonsorrow and Fintroll. 1999 was a golden year. My mother wished it was a phase, but it wasn't. Metal is my lifestyle still in 2024 when I'm a middle-aged woman working my corporate career.

I can't really express what Finnish metal means to me and what it has become for me.....I do not really understand why i feel the way i do about Finnish music, but it calls to me and I must visit the country in 2026. Kiitos Suomi! \m/

First metal band in Finland we cannot speak without Sarcofacus 😮 Envoy of death 😮 Sarcofacus vocals was Hannu Leiden she play guitar/and vocal after Havana Black 😮

Even though Bomfunk mc's is not metal at all but they were hugely admired by many metal musicians. HIM, Nightwish, Apocalyptica as metal bands. Darude. They were one of those first finnish bands which became big abroad. It gave inspiration for finnish bands that you actually can get big and famous even if you come from a very small population european country. Music industry here got interested that you actually can get money out of this business. So we started to export music. I remember well that time era.

How did I just nkw find this? This is great!

J'aime la scène metal finlandaise ! I love finish metal scene ! Terveiset ranskata 🇨🇵

torilla tavataan!

Metal brought me and my Wife to Finland as well, from France, 6 years ago. Best decision of my life.

''Duska'' Haha!

For me is strange that almost nothing speak over Timo Tolkki importance and fundamental role in that scene

Brilliant documentary!!! This summer I'm going to Finland, Helsinki to explore the city and hope to find some great albums there, especially a Nightwish book I've been looking for.

Amazing documentary!

Heavy rock is the last castle off rock. When everything else collapses, they stand still. Amazing everyone from there comes new attack.

"and something like that"😉

When talking about Finnish Metal pioneers, nobody mentioned Kimmo Kuusniemi (Sarcofagus). Kimmo predicted that Finnish Heavy Metal will never be big thing in Finland, so certainly he must have been there before anyone had made any significant impact in the Finnish Metal scene. Also Kirka and his sister Muska loved Hard Rock and Metal and both actually sang in Kimmo's band. Both could sing Metal. Kimmo Kuusniemi Band's album "Moottorilinnut" (Motor Birds) (1982) was the first Metal album sang in Finnish. When speaking about Finnish Rock bands, which were noticed abroad, Hurriganes was left unmentioned. The story tells that Hurriganes' guitarist Ile Kallio was considered by Paul McCartney to be the guitarist for his band Wings. Also the 70s Finnish Progressive Rock scene was noticed abroad. As were the late 70s early 80s Punk/Hardcore scene, which probably has something to do with the Finnish Metal bands being popular in Latin America and also partly in Japan. E.g. Max Cavalera of Sepultura has cited the Finnish Punk bands Terveet Kädet and Kaaos as some of his all-time favourite bands.

Great Finland

MARKO HIETALA!!!!!!😆

I've enjoyed watching this. Finland has been punching above its weight in music for years. Marco's last comment says it all : Finland's musicians play what they want to play, which makes it authentic, not manufactured. When grunge came along in the '90s I gave up on music. I re-discovered music 10 years ago and most of what I've listened to ever since is from Finland. Kiitos Finland!!

I lived in Finland in 1999. It was an overdose of ABBA everywhere

What about finnish death metal? Finnish doom?

Why does Scott Ian have to be in every single documentary ever?

future? very bright - Stratovarius just hit it big again with Survive, a heavy contender for album of the year, then you have Excalion doing new CD next year... Beast In Black and Battle Beast doing awesome job at popularizing heavy metal everywhere... and of course, Nightwish might release another thing next year (I LOVED Human :II: Nature)... so yea :)

great documentary

Where is Kalmah, HIM, Norther, Ensiferum, Wintersun, Children of Bodom, Thy Serpent, Impaled Nazarene, Finntroll, Korpiklaani, Rotten Sound, Mors Principium EST? there's so much AMAZING music not listed. Finland is my favorite after discovering all this music upon Alexi Laiho passing. Please consider updating the title

Metalhead: we only wanna live by noise and being so noisy.

What is Kiko doing here? Wheres VV? Oh sure, HIM is not metal enough. This is what annoys me about these guys, they are só close minded. The hell with what kind of média you sell, the content is what matters. I agree with that guy though, heavy metal is getting boring. Its kinda ironic to think that a style of music that has ar least 50 subgenres just feels outdated no matter what. Thats what got me into HIM. All the clássical metal riffs with rock and pop love songs? Felt fresh at the time. Children of boddom very good as well. But they certainly need something new. Unfortunatly, Im guessing the USA Will have to come up with new vibes for the rest of the world to follow, as always. Anyway, good doc, thank you

HIM, Nightwish and Children of Bodom. These 3 bands made Finland world famous in metal scene.

Great documentary. I always say Scandinavian and Finnish musicians are top notch. 🤘🏻Cheers from the US

only one band matters from finland and that is ofc SENTENCED especially amok album!

Mika mentioning Henry as the Face of Finnish Metal. <3 (Maybe not only the best composer of Finnland but of the whole world) ...but yeah, Laiho.

I desperately want Charon to reform.

Stratovarius, one of the most underrated power metal bands of our time. They should be selling arenas just like Iron Maiden but sadly they are not.

Marco without that forked beard is freaking me out but what an awesome documentary, thank you for this!

Tämä oli hyvin mielenkiintoinen ja musiikkihistoriallisestikin tärkeä dokkari. Kiitos tekijöille.

Another thing about Finland (and Sweden, too) that isn't exactly well-known is that the early D-Beat / HC punk developed even more aggressive in the north. For example, Terveet Kädet made a huge impact around the world in the underground circles, which eventually spawned big bands like Sepultura, Metallica, Pantera etc. I read some old interviews where these guys actually mention the band as an influence. Terveet Kädet had such an aggressive and chaotic sound, which pretty much already had the rawness of early black metal and the speed and attitude of the slowly growing thrash scene around the world. Something people either don't know or have already forgot about.

Seeing my two favourite Finnish musicians (master Eicca Toppinen and king JP Leppäluoto) makes me happy. ❤️

About Finnish heavy metal.... Does anyone know if there's a chance to get Sarcofagus "Back from the valley of the kings" and the 79-82 anthology?

It's an interesting documentary ... I remember Sarcofagus "Cycle of life" and "Envoy of death" dating back in the 80s before Stone. Maybe not heavy metal as we do now know it but that should be the beginning in Suomi. Btw nothing to do with heavy metal but I do like Värttinä as well! 🤘

18:10 song?

Shared

makes this irish guitarist want to move to helsinki!

There are many excellent metal bands in Finland. And then there is Nightwish, the crown jewel.

TAROT!

Harmi jos tämä jää historiaan ainoana teoksena aiheesta Suomimetalli. Mahtoiko olla joku mediakurssin opinnäytetyö?

Sorry I forgot to leave a comment,thus was a very interesting documentary and now I'm gonna check out some Finnish metal starting with Tarot!

I had no idea Marko could sing like that wow great sound!

I‘m from Germany and the first finish bands I remember listening to were Nightwish and Lordi. And not from Gandprix, The monsterican dream was and is one of my favorite albums. My absolute favorite finish band is Ensiferum. Even went this year to Nummirock to see them. What an amazing festival. And I absolutely love Finland. I have already the ticket for next year.
