React to Metsatöll - an Estonian folk metal band. Underrated out of their country, where they are the most popular in. Recommend albums Hiiekoda, Äio and Karjajuht. Won't dissapoint.
Yes! now we Are In right path! Listen wintersun first record To last and you cant live without😁 especially wintermadness solo🤘Children of Bodom's singerguitarist died not so Long ago
Definitely react to Warmen, if you loved Children of Bodom! Also, if you like "viking-y stuff" and growling vocals, please check out Ensiferum! (especially their Iron album)
Great bands all! The Amorphis song was a bit of an outlier, as they usually combine cleans with growls. A really good song of theirs, imo, is Death of a King with such interesting influences in the music. Now, you could, by the way, also go in for some bands singing in Finnish, e.g. Mokoma and Stam1na - both are just excellent.
Really liked Amorphis and I’ve heard Death of a King- love that song I think it really puts their sound on display and shows what they’re capable of! Oh yes I forgot to mention I’d love to hear some bands sing in their native language it doesn’t all have to be in English, thanks for your suggestions!
So jealous!! Apparently they’ve toured Australia before only wish I knew about them sooner, they blew me away. Thank you I’ll check out Enisferum I believe someone recommended them before I didn’t get around to them 🫶🏻
Kai Hahto play drums both bands, Wintersun and Nightwish. Wintersun bass player Jukka Koskinen plays today in Nightwish too. This Wintersun album guitar player Teemu Mäntysaari play band Megadeath.
Oh far out!! Major talent right there, I used to play drums (not amazingly) so I have a real ear for the drums and Kai is spectacular. Didn’t know the crossover between the bass player playing in nightwish and Wintersun that’s so cool and Jukka from Megadeath on wintersuns album too 🤯 very awesome 🙌
@@Spangelaa Witersun had quite long break live shows and Nightwish do not live this year (and maybe next either) so it goes well. Female singers you should check out Floor Jansen, if not do react video do it by yourself, Nightwish current singer. She is something else. "Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean" Buenos Aires live, Romanticide (Wacken live 2013) original drummer Jukka Nevalainen or "Yours are Empty Hope" Wembley live 2015. Nightwish is live band ... I played bass early '80, they took me to band because I was 18 and I had driving licence 😁.
Sweet love all these recs ! I realised that 90% of the music I listened to is with male singers so I’m currently exploring more female singers, definitely impressed with Finnish female singers-so amazing 🤩 That’s so cool!! I can play bass too definitely one of my fave instruments oh to be young again and sneak into concerts 😂
@@Spangelaa Nightwish is considered to be a Finnish band, but current vocalist Floor Jansen is Dutch and Troy Donockley (multi-instrumentalist) is English
A fun couple of videos! The Finnish bands I've seen live so far are Lordi, Turmion Kätilöt, Beast in Black, and Nightwish (who are my favourite band). If you like folk metal at all, do add Korpiklaani to your list - they are very fun, usually quite lighthearted though occasionally hitting you in the feels.
Hello fellow Aussie. I don't have a Finnish band for you, but I do have a band that is mixed in Finland by Mikko Karmila and Mika Jussila. The band I'm referring to is LOVEBITES, a Japanese all-female heavy metal band. I genuinely believe they are the most musically talented metal band to appear in the last two decades, and I'd comfortably put them alongside Dream Theater and Symphony-X as the top 3 metal bands today in terms of pure technical musicianship. They won the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award for Best New Band, and have only gotten better since then. Their style has been described as a love letter to 1980s and early 1990s metal, and so any fan of legendary bands such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament etc. will probably also like LOVEBITES. They are currently touring the US and they played ProgPower USA in Atlanta Georgia yesterday. My current favourite song from them is "Break the Wall", one of the best thrash songs I've heard. th-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/w-d-xo.html Another amazing track from them is "Holy War" th-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/w-d-xo.html
Hey there! Oh I love some all female Japanese metal bands! I was lucky enough to see Hannabie at good things last year they were amazing! I like Babymetal too 😄 I’ve heard of LOVEBITES so I’ll definitely give them a listen and let you know my thoughts they sounds right up my alley! Thank you so much! 🤘
@@Spangelaa Cool. I will warn you that their white princess dresses might throw you at first. Also, they sing in English, but the vocalist has a strong Japanese accent and imperfect English enunciation, so you will struggle to understand the lyrics. If lyrics are important to you, just google them before you listen, especially for songs that don't have closed caption lyrics. But their musicianship will blow your mind. Yes - I'm a fanboi.
Love from Finland 💕. If you like Wintersun, you might like the aussie band called "Ne Obliviscaris". A true metal gem from your country. There is a good live version on TH-cam called "And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope"
Yeah, another Aussie here. Ne Obliviscaris are absolutely a great band, another very good one that may or may not be on your radar are Karnivool who do prog metal. If you're looking to hear them at their best, I'd recommend listening to the album "Sound Awake". In terms of sounding like other well-known bands, I'd say they're probably closest to The Porcupine Tree. Parkway Drive are another Aussie metal band who are pretty popular here, but honestly I don't get that much out of their music - they're more commercially successful than NE and Karnivool (though songs off their first album *did* get airplay on Triple J a fair bit), but IMO musically PWD aren't as adventurous as the other two. YMMV, of course 😊.
I saw Children of Bodom at the Eaton's Hill Tavern in Brisbane as opening act for Megadeth some years ago now. The keyboard player got through a six pack during the duration of their set !! 😂
Oh wow I wish I knew about them sooner!! That would have been wicked, were you impressed by them? Haha love it when foreign bands play here, they seem to inherit our drinking culture all in one night lol especially funny when they’re egged on to do a shoey 😂
@@Spangelaa they were great,they probably played for about 40 minutes. Sadly one of their members died a couple of years ago. I don't think the Finns need to inherit our drinking culture. Watch Tuomas from Nightwish swigging from a bottle of red wine 🍷 he has stashed on the rear of his keyboard. There is great footage of them playing Buenos Airies and him sharing the bottle with Floor Jansen,their singer. !! 😆😆😆
@@Spangelaa I saw Jinjer live at The Zoo in Brisbane in March 2020,just as Covid 19 started shutting things own Worldwide. I have seen a lot of concerts in my time,but I rated that concert as in my top 5 ever. I have seen Metallica 3 times live.
Ohh I’ve heard of Jinjer, I’m loving all these recommendations I’ve found the most amazing bands from these comments! Also side note, feel free not to answer but do you happen to be the same Paul Hayward from the Young Docteurs? 😅 @paulhayward8459
Hello avian being; Kai Hahto the drummer for Wintersun is also the drummer for Nightwith. You picked THE most poppy Nightwish song... perils of using spotify again. Yes they are symphonic but they have many other brilliant songs.. some a lot more metal. Try Romanticide Live at Wacken (Nightwish live is always better)
HAHAHA you did your research 🐦 oh interesting didn’t know that one! Yep I feel like I should give them another go, a few people have said I should listen to more of their stuff to truly get a feel for them 😄 thank you!!
@@Spangelaa The thing with Nightwish is that they are the most successful Finnish band ever for a reason: they can appeal to a lot of different listeners. Think of their singles as gateway drugs to symphonic metal. People like you who are already hooked don't need them; you can start from their more serious stuff. A rule of thumb: although many of their shorter songs (like Romanticide) are heavy or otherwise non-poppish, every Nightwish song over 8 minutes long is at least ambitious if not your type of music. And live at Wacken 2013 is legendary. Unfortunately for you, the Nightwish songwriter Tuomas Holopainen dislikes growling for the most part. He only writes growling into his songs when he's feeling angry and wants to emphasize his message. But he does have a female vocalist who can sing pretty much anything he asks her to. Growling included.
Many people who don't know much about Finland can say with almost certainty that Finland produces a lot of high-quality metal music. It is one of the things that Finland is famous for in the world. It is said that there are 50 metal bands per 100,000 Finns in Finland - that means that Finland has the most metal bands in the world compared to the population. So it's no wonder that Finland has done well with its metal music.
Yes!! I knew that they were famous for producing great metal, it’s like the Finnish just embrace the culture for all that it is unapologetically it’s so awesome. If I didn’t have you guys I would have been stuck with Spotify’s horrendous suggestions 😂 thank you!
@@deewilson2 thank you so much! I haven’t checked any of those out yet, I have heard of Battlelore before I think someone recommended them to me. Anyway thanks I’ll give them all a listen 😄
PLEASE react to Turmion kätilöt if you have not already i would recommend the songs sikiö, teurastaja, tirehtööri, pirun nyrkki,faster than god. (In no particular order) They're all great songs
This was much more representative take into Finnish metal scene than your previous video. Keep going though the recommendations you already received and I'm sure you'll get new recommendations based on your preferences/comments. It's already clear that you prefer heavier music than many of the bands that I suggested in your first video. Finnish metal scene is pretty wide and most people prefer the lighter side but not you. If you want to give Nightwish (commercially the most successful metal band from Finland) another go, try "Master Passion Greed". If that song is not heavy enough, then whole Nightwish catalog is too light for your taste.
Thank you so much I appreciate your feedback! Yeah definitely into the heavier stuff still can appreciate the lighter too, the amount of recommendations was next level I do plan to get around to reviewing more Finnish bands in a future video :) it’s definitely been a wonderful exploration, I knew there had to be so much more than The Rasmus 😂 thanks for everything 🙌
Here is some great bands and songs from finland -ENOCHIAN CRESCENT-VÄKISINKASTETTU -Horna - Sinulle, mätänevä jehova -Impaled Nazarene - Nyrkillä Tapettava Huora -SENTENCED - Nepenthe -Black Swan - The Tavastian Parade -Deathchain - Serpent of the Deep -Barathrum - Last Day In Heaven -Diablo - Read my Scars -Thy Serpent - Wounds of Death -Swallow the Sun - Lost & Catatonic -To Die For - Farewell
More Amorphis and Battle Beast! You started Amorphis with their radio hit song, which doesn't represent them very well. Try some of their early stuff or later songs like The Bee or Dead Man's Dream. Btw Amorphis started year 1990 and HIM 1991, so Amorphis is year older - and still kicking strongly. Noora Louhimo from Battle Beast is absolutely my favorite female singer and I would have hard time to choose winner, if I needed to decide between Noora and Tomi Joutsen from Amorphis.
Though to be completely honest my favorite songs from Amorphis at this moment are Sampo, Golden Elk and Northwards. With Battle Beast I can't choose favorites. About 3/4 of their songs are my favorites. 😅
Ohh thank you for this!! Yeah I totally agree I didn’t give Amorphis a fair chance and did want to listen to more of their stuff and I did like it because it reminded me slightly of HIM (even though clearly Amorphis was first 😂) oh yeah Battle beast definitely impressed me! I wish I was even a little bit as talented as Noora . I’ll definitely dive deeper into Amorphis, thank you!
@@Spangelaa You're welcome! 👍 I must yet add that Children of Bodom has covered Amorphis and vice versa. I think that they are from the same hood. In book about Amorphis band members tell, that they got to know young talented guitarist Alexi Laiho when he trained in same building as them.
@@Spangelaa In my opinion, Amorphis and Children Of Bodom are the best Finnish melodic death metal bands, whereas Amorphis is progressive and COB is neoclassical.
1990 death metal (via my account, Angela) and voluntary fire department girl from germany since here ... Hehehehe. We share some love in music:) But who cares. Keep loving and head-banging. Have a good one .... to the other side of the world:)
Swedish eh? Ok, a fresh flashback from the 80's, Nestor. "Kids in a ghost town" and "On the run". Both from the 2022 album (called Kids in a ghost town). Then again, not really metal. More like 80's (hard) rock. And like someone said earlier, Nightwish has a ton of different styles, even though symphonic metal is their backbone. You'd maybe like "Master Passion Greed" at least. Most likely "Your's Is An Empty Hope" too (with their current singer). Cheers from Finland.
If you want to try Swedish metal I would suggest the following: Arch Enemy - melodic death metal Amon Amarth - Viking metal Candlemass - Doom metal Opeth - prog metal Sabaton - military history power metal Bathory - black viking metal Therion - symphonic metal (I know you said you are not a fan of this genre but thought I would toss them in) Cheers from Iowa USA
@@alancarter41 thanks so much!! I know Opeth and Amon Amarth, have heard of Bathory. I’ll definitely use your recs 🙌 I like some symphonic metal, maybe I’ll love therion 😆
@@Spangelaa No worries. Guess I should have added Hammerfall, after all they were one of the bands my son introduced me to 20 years ago that started my metal journey.
@@Spangelaa nice!! If you want to listen more Singer of Ensferum Petri Lindroos, check his old band Norther and song -Mirrow of madness- and new EP from band Warmen, where he plays toghether with Janne Wirman (ex-COB) 🖤
@@Koppi73 funnily enough Petri was the one I spoke too 😂 thank you I knew he had been in previous bands but didn’t know which ones I’ll definitely check them out, thanks legend! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
The first video was not that bad. I liked that you listened to turmion kätilöt. You should try them again. Listen to dance panique, sikiö, kyntövuohi, isä meidän, kuolettavia vammoja..
House of Sleep got me into Amorphis. Now I never listen to it. They got much better stuff. Mors Principium Est, Kalmah, and Bloodred Hourglass are usually faster, high-energy, and guitar driven. If you enjoyed COB you'll probably like these. Feel free to explore COB's first four albums, though. For a deep cut how about De Lirium's Order - Autistic Savant. They're pretty intense. Omnium Gatherum and Insomnium are kinda on the opposite spectrum of melodeath. Atmospheric, melody-focused, and sometimes clean vocals. Not my preferred style, but they got bangers, regardless.
@@Spangelaa When I first saw them at bloodstock 2011 they played the way of fire. Over 10 years later they finally released it XD They're so worth watching live, I'm sure you'd love it :)
@@Spangelaa It really did take quite a bit of "Time" The fanbase likes to take the piss out of them because of it :P Please do, you won't be disappointed, depending on recording quality of course! :)
I agree with you about Emily Armstrong as the new singer in Linkin Park. She is new and it will take a little time for her to find her feet and stamp her own authority. Noora Luhimo the singer in Battle Beast is an amazing vocalist as well.
Exactly, that’s what I think too, she stepped into big shoes and would have absolutely known she was doing that before getting on stage. It’s become a huge debate and has spun out of control, it’s fine for people not to like her but the nastiness is uncalled for I think! 100% agreed, I’m trying to find more female singers that I love as most of the stuff I listen to is from male singers and her voice was amazing 🤩
@@Spangelaa Floor Jansen is my absolute favourite,but there are so many others Simone Simons from Epica,Courtney La Plante from Spiritbox,Doro Petsch,Sharon den Adel from Within Temptation,Tatiana Schmalyuk from Jinjer and Brittany Slayes from Unleash the Archers,just to name a few !! 😊😊
Hi I'm your new subscriber and I suggest for you react to Wintersun sons of winter and stars 1.5 official lyric video. But I'm not sure you do full reactions but they are labeled as a symphonic viking metal band from Finland so you can start you off on your Wintersun rabbit hole I guarantee you will not be disappointed so send me a reply back. Thank you Wintersun Alex USA ❄️❤️
Thank you so much for the sub! 🖤 I definitely enjoyed Wintersun and love everything Viking related 😆 you’ve given me a great idea for a future video I’ll definitely check out your recommendations thanks from the bottom of my heart 🤘🫶🏻
Hey! Thank you for letting me know, the drop is sound is probably 100% my doing, sometimes when I add music it seems very loud on editing so I turn it down but when the video is published it makes it way too quiet. Thanks for letting me know I’ll work on this in future, getting sound right is a challenge!
Impaled nazarene : Blood is thicker than water and when all good en turn To SHIT.. Well their all older Are great.. It is not For People Who do not own humor mind(im not sure if that is the right Word but you know, they Are not series with their lyrics)
@@Rinssi_from_Finland Ahaa man without humour..intresting..just saying😁 and no i'm not mocking your music taste..but it sounds as tasteless as your understanding of it..or maybe you never even care to realy listening and see/check what somethings realy are about
@@timometsanoja9666 BROooo I recently heard about Heavisaurus 😂 maybe it’s because I have kids? I don’t know maybe I read a quick article about them, very cool stuff wish I was introduced to them as a kid…all we had here was the wiggles and they’re not very metal 🥲
@@Spangelaa it is actually legit metal music although the lyrical content is kids appropriate... And they put out a lot of stuff. At least at one point they were putting out a new album per year. They have had all sorts of visiting stars from the metal world play on their albums etc. I have lost touch as my kids have grown out of that phase, but it was quite entertaining while it lasted... Even for an older dude. Check out HeviSaurus "Riffi Raffin Tilubiisi"... The title track from that album "Räyh" is also a classic from them...
Linkin Park??? Oh like you can not listen Linkin Park anymore because there is a new vocalist. SPOILER ALERT The og Linkin park has not vanished... For example I´m Nighwish fan, 3 different vocalist... Ps. I think the new song is grower. And Chester is not coming back to live performance. PPS. Do you know who is Travis Kelce🤔😘
Exactly! It’s a massive drama, there’s solid debates on both sides but I just hate that people freak out with any changes to their favourite bands. Nightwish is a great example! Travis Kelce…is that who Taylor Swift is dating? 🤣 if so I know a tiny bit about him lol 🫶🏻🥰
Wintersun really deserves a video on their own
Dvie deeper In Finnish metall and your life is gonna be so much better😁
NIGTWISH live with FLOOR is unbelievable good , the song doesn’t matter all is good believe me 👩🏻🎤💖💖
Insomnium is often lacking from the list people recommend so i will do just that :)

It's already clear that you prefer heavier music than many of the bands that I suggested in your first video. Finnish metal scene is pretty wide and most people prefer the lighter side but not you.
If you want to give Nightwish (commercially the most successful metal band from Finland) another go, try "Master Passion Greed". If that song is not heavy enough, then whole Nightwish catalog is too light for your taste.
Thank you so much I appreciate your feedback! Yeah definitely into the heavier stuff still can appreciate the lighter too, the amount of recommendations was next level I do plan to get around to reviewing more Finnish bands in a future video :) it’s definitely been a wonderful exploration, I knew there had to be so much more than The Rasmus 😂 thanks for everything 🙌
I´m the 99th subscriber for this channel...
@@nervanderi 🎉🎉 thank you 🥹🥹
Should have been the 100th though 😂 jk thanks so very much legend

Good bands😂😂
More Amorphis and Battle Beast! You started Amorphis with their radio hit song, which doesn't represent them very well. Try some of their early stuff or later songs like The Bee or Dead Man's Dream. Btw Amorphis started year 1990 and HIM 1991, so Amorphis is year older - and still kicking strongly. Noora Louhimo from Battle Beast is absolutely my favorite female singer and I would have hard time to choose winner, if I needed to decide between Noora and Tomi Joutsen from Amorphis.
Though to be completely honest my favorite songs from Amorphis at this moment are Sampo, Golden Elk and Northwards. With Battle Beast I can't choose favorites. About 3/4 of their songs are my favorites. 😅
Ohh thank you for this!! Yeah I totally agree I didn’t give Amorphis a fair chance and did want to listen to more of their stuff and I did like it because it reminded me slightly of HIM (even though clearly Amorphis was first 😂) oh yeah Battle beast definitely impressed me! I wish I was even a little bit as talented as Noora . I’ll definitely dive deeper into Amorphis, thank you!
@@Spangelaa You're welcome! 👍 I must yet add that Children of Bodom has covered Amorphis and vice versa. I think that they are from the same hood. In book about Amorphis band members tell, that they got to know young talented guitarist Alexi Laiho when he trained in same building as them.
@@Spangelaa In my opinion, Amorphis and Children Of Bodom are the best Finnish melodic death metal bands, whereas Amorphis is progressive and COB is neoclassical.
❤
1990 death metal (via my account, Angela) and voluntary fire department girl from germany since here ...
Hehehehe. We share some love in music:)
But who cares. Keep loving and head-banging. Have a good one .... to the other side of the world:)
Hell yeah!! 90’s death metal is wicked! Thanks lovely sending my appreciation to another person with great taste in music 👌🏼🤘
Strongly recommend Stam1na and Mokoma
Oi! Need some recs from Sweden next if anyone happens to read this 🫶🏻 thanks I love everyone’s suggestions 🤘
Swedish eh? Ok, a fresh flashback from the 80's, Nestor. "Kids in a ghost town" and "On the run". Both from the 2022 album (called Kids in a ghost town).
Then again, not really metal. More like 80's (hard) rock.
And like someone said earlier, Nightwish has a ton of different styles, even though symphonic metal is their backbone. You'd maybe like "Master Passion Greed" at least. Most likely "Your's Is An Empty Hope" too (with their current singer).
Cheers from Finland.
@@Garbox80 legend! Thank you 🙌🙌
If you want to try Swedish metal I would suggest the following:
Arch Enemy - melodic death metal
Amon Amarth - Viking metal
Candlemass - Doom metal
Opeth - prog metal
Sabaton - military history power metal
Bathory - black viking metal
Therion - symphonic metal (I know you said you are not a fan of this genre but thought I would toss them in)
Cheers from Iowa USA
@@alancarter41 thanks so much!! I know Opeth and Amon Amarth, have heard of Bathory. I’ll definitely use your recs 🙌 I like some symphonic metal, maybe I’ll love therion 😆
@@Spangelaa No worries. Guess I should have added Hammerfall, after all they were one of the bands my son introduced me to 20 years ago that started my metal journey.
COB is also my all time favourite 🖤check also good bands as Insomnium, Ensiferum, Wolfheart, Moonsorrow, Finntroll, and not so "heavy" 69Eyes 🖤
Love 69 Eyes! Also got to interview someone from Ensiferum last week 😄 🫶🏻
@@Spangelaa nice!! If you want to listen more Singer of Ensferum Petri Lindroos, check his old band Norther and song -Mirrow of madness- and new EP from band Warmen, where he plays toghether with Janne Wirman (ex-COB) 🖤
@@Koppi73 funnily enough Petri was the one I spoke too 😂 thank you I knew he had been in previous bands but didn’t know which ones I’ll definitely check them out, thanks legend! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
@@Spangelaa i am 100% sure that you like young and energy Norther 🖤 wintersun and nighwish bassist Jukka Koskinen also there as young!
Give a listen to Wolfheart, another finnish metal band with otherwordly talent. Ancient Cold or Knell would be great choices to react.
Thank you! It’s looking like a third Finnish reaction video will have to be made 😂🙌
How about some Stam1na or Ajattara to get something in Finnish? Like anything from the first two albums by Stam1na
@@Zardagbum I’ll look into them, thank you!🙏
Please do Wintersun Time 1 album whole its so masterpiece
Will do, they’re a band I’ve been told I need to explore more 😄 thank you!
The first video was not that bad. I liked that you listened to turmion kätilöt. You should try them again. Listen to dance panique, sikiö, kyntövuohi, isä meidän, kuolettavia vammoja..
@@jxhl666 thank you for your kind words 🙏 I’ll give them another listen 😄
House of Sleep got me into Amorphis. Now I never listen to it. They got much better stuff.
Mors Principium Est, Kalmah, and Bloodred Hourglass are usually faster, high-energy, and guitar driven. If you enjoyed COB you'll probably like these. Feel free to explore COB's first four albums, though.
For a deep cut how about De Lirium's Order - Autistic Savant. They're pretty intense.
Omnium Gatherum and Insomnium are kinda on the opposite spectrum of melodeath. Atmospheric, melody-focused, and sometimes clean vocals. Not my preferred style, but they got bangers, regardless.
Thank you! Ill definitely give them all a listen 🙌
Wintersun are mind blowing live, I've seen them quite a few times and they never disappointed
I knew they’d be awesome live! So lucky would love to experience that 🤩
@@Spangelaa When I first saw them at bloodstock 2011 they played the way of fire. Over 10 years later they finally released it XD They're so worth watching live, I'm sure you'd love it :)
Wow that took a bit of time for them to release 😂 that’s so awesome maybe for now I’ll see if I can find any videos of them playing live 🙌
@@Spangelaa It really did take quite a bit of "Time" The fanbase likes to take the piss out of them because of it :P Please do, you won't be disappointed, depending on recording quality of course! :)
check out Totalselfhatred - Mighty Black Dimensions
try STAM1NA - IKONEKLASMIA and TURMION KÄTILÖT - SANO KUN RIITTÄÄ
I agree with you about Emily Armstrong as the new singer in Linkin Park.
She is new and it will take a little time for her to find her feet and stamp her own authority.
Noora Luhimo the singer in Battle Beast is an amazing vocalist as well.
Exactly, that’s what I think too, she stepped into big shoes and would have absolutely known she was doing that before getting on stage. It’s become a huge debate and has spun out of control, it’s fine for people not to like her but the nastiness is uncalled for I think!
100% agreed, I’m trying to find more female singers that I love as most of the stuff I listen to is from male singers and her voice was amazing 🤩
@@Spangelaa Floor Jansen is my absolute favourite,but there are so many others
Simone Simons from Epica,Courtney La Plante from Spiritbox,Doro Petsch,Sharon den Adel from Within Temptation,Tatiana Schmalyuk from Jinjer and Brittany Slayes from Unleash the Archers,just to name a few !! 😊😊
@@paulhayward8459 hard agree on Courtney and Brittany! Amazing voices 🙌 I’ll have to check out the others you suggested 😄
Oranssi Pazuzu!!!!!
If you want to hear more female singing, try "Laurenne/Louhimo".
Try to listen a song by VIIKATE - Tervaskanto. It's something
Hi I'm your new subscriber and I suggest for you react to Wintersun sons of winter and stars 1.5 official lyric video. But I'm not sure you do full reactions but they are labeled as a symphonic viking metal band from Finland so you can start you off on your Wintersun rabbit hole I guarantee you will not be disappointed so send me a reply back. Thank you Wintersun Alex USA ❄️❤️
Thank you so much for the sub! 🖤 I definitely enjoyed Wintersun and love everything Viking related 😆 you’ve given me a great idea for a future video I’ll definitely check out your recommendations thanks from the bottom of my heart 🤘🫶🏻
Where's my bible "Waves" good song to listening in car and Ghost from the past
bull's little shiet when you stop alexi Laihos Tokyo Warheards
@@tonivihermaki898 bulls little shiet? 😂 I don’t understand 😄
Not sure but your sound is dropping a lot or is it edited that way because it could not enjoy the music and reaction this way.
Hey! Thank you for letting me know, the drop is sound is probably 100% my doing, sometimes when I add music it seems very loud on editing so I turn it down but when the video is published it makes it way too quiet. Thanks for letting me know I’ll work on this in future, getting sound right is a challenge!
Impaled nazarene : Blood is thicker than water and when all good en turn To SHIT.. Well their all older Are great.. It is not For People Who do not own humor mind(im not sure if that is the right Word but you know, they Are not series with their lyrics)
Oh I love bands that aren’t too serious 😆 sounds awesome I’ll check them out! Thanks a bunch 🤘
If you listen to Impaled Nazarene you got issues bro. Just saying.
@@Rinssi_from_Finland Ahaa man without humour..intresting..just saying😁 and no i'm not mocking your music taste..but it sounds as tasteless as your understanding of it..or maybe you never even care to realy listening and see/check what somethings realy are about
Just to get the whole grasp and depth of Finnish Metal you should go checkout HeviSaurus! Why not go for some kids music too...
@@timometsanoja9666 BROooo I recently heard about Heavisaurus 😂 maybe it’s because I have kids? I don’t know maybe I read a quick article about them, very cool stuff wish I was introduced to them as a kid…all we had here was the wiggles and they’re not very metal 🥲
@@Spangelaa it is actually legit metal music although the lyrical content is kids appropriate... And they put out a lot of stuff. At least at one point they were putting out a new album per year. They have had all sorts of visiting stars from the metal world play on their albums etc. I have lost touch as my kids have grown out of that phase, but it was quite entertaining while it lasted... Even for an older dude. Check out HeviSaurus "Riffi Raffin Tilubiisi"... The title track from that album "Räyh" is also a classic from them...
No black metal? What a travesty. Here are some names: Behexen, Horna, Sargeist, Goatmoon, Impaled Nazarene, Satanic Warmaster, Moonsorrow
That Wintersun drummer Kai Hahto is now in Nightwish.. nd Kai Hahto is The Beast 🤘🏻
13:26 waduhek?
Idk 🤷♀️ I was interrupted a little 😅
Linkin Park??? Oh like you can not listen Linkin Park anymore because there is a new vocalist. SPOILER ALERT The og Linkin park has not vanished... For example I´m Nighwish fan, 3 different vocalist... Ps. I think the new song is grower. And Chester is not coming back to live performance. PPS. Do you know who is Travis Kelce🤔😘
Exactly! It’s a massive drama, there’s solid debates on both sides but I just hate that people freak out with any changes to their favourite bands. Nightwish is a great example!
Travis Kelce…is that who Taylor Swift is dating? 🤣 if so I know a tiny bit about him lol 🫶🏻🥰
@@Spangelaa Tbh yes I was mad when Tarja left but songs are still there.
Maybe more mad when Marko Left
Try Torchia
🤘🇫🇮🤘🫶
One Finnish band worth to listen is Lost Society.
Thank you! I’ll check them out 😄
Satanic Warmaster🤘
