While Swedish death metal rules supreme, and Norwegian black metal inflames imaginations, Nordic neighbors in Finland have created a stunning roll call of top quality, highly original metal bands. Join host Ian Christe (“Sound of the Beast” / Bazillion Points Books) for a survey of Finnish innovators of folk metal, symphonic metal, funeral doom, ultra-techinical death metal, and more, with Amorphis, Nightwish, Skepticism, Demilich, Hanoi Rocks, Beherit, Babylon Whores, Children of Bodom, Ensiferum, and more. Know your Roots!
