veronica maggio (in swedish)

been listening to this non stop all week!

 

[glitterpeacock]

Do the Hives count?
I know their style is more American rock n roll and they sing in English but they are very Swedish.
Just love them.

Nightwish - Finland

 

[Birkin]

^ grrrreat !

 

[Vega Magnus]

^That song is from their fifth album, Once. It's quite excellent; without a doubt their best album.

Cannot believe that no one has mentioned Amon Amarth.

 

[Blodeuwedd]

I love Amon Amarth - they seriously do the best shows I've seen, I just didn't know if I could've shared my love of them.

new song by first aid kit - emmylou


and the lion's roar

 

[Chaky]

First Aid Kit seem to be really talented. I like their new album a lot.

Reminds me of this vid of them at the Polar Music Prize awards doing a cover of Patti Smith's 'Dancing Barefoot' in front of the lady herself. Just see her reaction.

 

[e-v-elina]

yeah they are one of those few bands who sound much better live ^

When it comes to Scandinavian singers, I like some Medina's songs (she's Danish - is it Scandinavian?)...And I like listening to Agnes (Carlsson), Swedish singer.
They both have some great songs.

 

[Tinetush]

^Denmark is a part of scandinavia.
Personally I'm not a big fan of Medina, at all. But she is very popular here.

I've been listening to a lot of danish hiphop/reggae-ish music lately, like:
Balstyrko - Karusellen
Raske Penge and Klumben - Rundt

 

[Vega Magnus]

There is a distinct lack of metal in this thread, which is a massive oversight for a thread dedicated to music from the lands from which metal has reached it's greatest heights. I'll start off with Dark Tranquillity, one of the first three melodic death metal bands and the ones that utterly perfected the genre.

 

[Blodeuwedd]

^ Haven't heard their latest, but I adore the album Projector.

Katatonia (Sweden)




saw them with Swallow the Sun (Finland)




Enslaved (Norway)


The album Axioma Ethica Odini is seriously amazing.
