Recommend me some good finnish Power metal.....

[JosephAcevedo]

I lately been lacking on releases and have followed much on whats been going on with the Finnish power metal scene.

I'm looking for something as a cross/blend or similair in the vein of Wintersun, Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica, (early) Norther, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Kotipelto, Warmen, ect.... Well you get the idea.

Something melodic, heavy, and with great Leads.

 

[General Zod]

Kiuas "Reformation".

Zod

 

[Metaldrumz]

TWILIGHTNING - DELERIUM VEIL

 

[J-Man]

MACHINE MEN - "CIRCUS OF FOOLS'

 

[adaher]

Excalion-Waterlines

I do love that Finnish sound as well.

They're not power metal but here are some finnish bands I've been into lately and I've included web links to help you check them out more easily even if it's not quite what you're after. You never know, you may find something even better than what you're expecting! :

Private Line ( www.myspace.com/privateline ) HIGHLY RECOMMEND and Brother Firetribe ( www.brotherfiretribe.com )
Soul Relic www.soulrelicband.com/site/?section=discography
Lovex www.lovex.fi/

Embraze (not sure if I like this band, love this band, or hate this band. They're something in the writing that's working on me but I'm not sure in what way. Yep, that's weird, I know) www.embraze.net/media.htm

To/Die/For www.myspace.com/tdfrocks and Charon www.charon.fi/ do that kindof pop gothy thing but in a nice metal way.

Sethian www.sethianmusic.com/html/downloads.htm and For My Pain www.formypain.com (each has some ex-Nightwish members) may hit your Nightwish nerve if you like that.

Poisonblack are always a favorite of mine too. http://www.myspace.com/officialpoisonblack

Tarot - either For the Glory of Nothing, or Suffer Our Pleasures.

 

[DAVETHEMETALGUY]

haha, i was WAITING for you and your Tarot to pop up!
lol

 

[Curufin]

Tarot - Suffer Our Pleasures.

This.

 

[ALowerDeep]

Several songs on Tarot's Crows Fly Black are really good as well, but not as good an album overall as Suffer Our Pleasures.

 

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

Thunderstone - Tools of Destruction

 

[dcowboys311]

Kiuas - The Spirit of Ukko

 

[actordude]

Joe - Listening to the latest Kotipelto offering "Serentity" as I type. Solid stuff, indeed. Grab this one if you haven't already done so.

I don't know that Tarot represents the type of sound the OP is looking for.

 

[Braxil]

Kiuas - The Spirit of Ukko
Tarot - Suffer Our Pleasures

 

[Petethedrummer]

Kiuas - The Spirit of Ukko

wow good call all of you who are recommending Kiuas...I guess somehow I was left out when everyone found out about them. it's pretty damned good stuff, i'll second/third/fourth this

 

[mëtålspëd]

I don't know that Tarot represents the type of sound the OP is looking for.

Tarot should be recommended to everyone... genre be damned.

 

[J-Man]

Tarot should be recommended to everyone... genre be damned.

I agree 150%......

 

[Stingray11214]

I agree 150%......

Here, Here! My suggestion is to spend the money and get Tarot's "Spell of Iron" and "To Live Forever". Real kick-ass.

I also recommend Kotipelto's "Coldness"
