Why are Scandinavians so edgy?

>>72278192
Maybe it's a bit like the bored teenager thing. Compared to the surrounding nations, the scandy andies are pretty rich and life on a easy mode, really. Screaming and smashing insturments around may be their way of being hardcore, like how a rich dresses in gold chains and shit, pretending to be all gangsta from da hood.

Because there's a lot more focus on music in school in the Nordic countries than in the rest of the world.

So we end up with an disproportionate amount of musicians, some of them turn to metal, which is basically a Nordic musical genre. Since it's a Nordic genre, it makes sense we have way more of it than the rest of the world.

Also, a high income, means a lot of families can afford to buy instruments to their kids at a young age, which also makes it easier to become a musician.

Small towns, and decentralization makes it simple to find places to practice. Also, shitloads of bomb shelters everywhere, which makes perfect discrete locations for practicing with a band without pissing off neighbors.

Sweden makes a lot of good music, in all genres, including metal. Power metal is what you'll most likely find here.

Finland is great at folk metal. They're basically the best.

Norway has a lot of quantity, but not as great quality as Sweden and Finland. We basically focus on black metal.

It's called harmony. Most of the music is trying to be written like this.

>>72278192
Well, imagine if your country looks like a penis on the map. No wonder Swedes are into hardcore ways of expressing themselves.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHVFNFpxBOM

>>72278312
but that's not how good metal sounds.

the whole screaming and smashing on guitars is more of an anglo approach to metal, which is why metal is viewed as kind of trashy by you guys.

Nordic metal is more related to classical music, for the most part. The best bands, are fucking musical geniuses. They could probably excel in any genre, but since GOOD metal takes a lot of insane skills, they chose the hardest genre.

Anglos tend to pick power metal, which really is the simplest form of metal.
Swedish power metal:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZm4zseMok0
It can be decent, but it's overall trash. Sabaton is more of a guilty pleasure for me.

But then there's symphonic black metal, which takes more skill, and is harder to listen to, as you need to concentrate to like it.
Norwegian symphonic black metal:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Urdv-CTuEpo

But my favorite genre is the Finnish folk metal. Takes a shitload of skill to pull off, and switches between soft and hard many times during each piece. It's not something you listen to with friends, or put on a party. More like if you want to relax, or have a long drive and need to zone out. Great music, both as a background if you're working, or to listen closely to while doing something not requiring concentration, like driving. Finnish folk metal really is the ultimate genre:

>>72281135

We like visceral sound and darkness. in esssence just being edgy.

>>72281217
I liked Imaginaerum. Even the movie. Annete had some "sexy way" to sing, and i think that's amazing.

Floor is my sexual desire Kek.

And Tarja... Well... Once was my first album of the Nightwish, and i still listening the ever that i can.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52LpN5aIb3U

>>72281217
The two Annette albums are really good musically but she was kinda poppy and boring live. Floor is a pretty good match for them but the new album is meh. Tarja is prime Nightwish of course.

I remember being on a party with some Germans once.

I don't party with Germans anymore.

Metal is a British genre of music. British-American too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyEElGjRrqI

Quite the edge

>>72286009
Britain and America have already made the best metal music decades ago. What the fuck the Nordics are doing who knows.

>>72280828
Those are some impressive mental gymnastics.

>>72287089
Britain dominated the early days. USA dominated the 80s to early 90s. Scandinavia dominated mid 90s to present, but metal was pretty much dead in the mainstream since then.

>>72287189
Britain did well in the 80s and was successful. then fell off in the 90s. No one touches the UK or the US for metal music as a whole regardless.

Nightwish was the start of me finding my own tastes in music and got me into power metal and subsequently progressive. There's somewhat of a disdain for them in metal circles since they have more popular appeal
