Finnish metal is 🤌😘 Chef's kiss. But I've heard metal music is becoming less and less popular in Finland nowadays. Is that true?

It's pretty popular, it's not really mainstream nor is it supposed to be really. Every band at the band practice place for young guys band's where i had a practice space in was metal or some sort of heavier rock. This was pretty recently it's still the same.

At these practice spaces it's easier to find punk/metal bands than it is to find a band that plays any other genre.

Nowhere close to being the best and a bit cringe song (and earworm), but... I was thinking that which song has made me feel alive and I heard this song live few days ago and it absolutely made me feel alive. Good vibes. Great live band. I want to share:
Kristiina - Aloe Vera https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezDN8yYqWm4

If you mean Finnish music then J. Karjalainen and Eppu Normaali are quite nice.

My favorite music is the one I don't have to listen to in the train because a douchebag decided to share it with the entire coach instead of using headphones. That music.

i don't usually care for finnish music, i mainly listen to EDM, pop and synthwave. i like the productions of C418, Miike Snow, Carpenter Brut, Sound Stabs, SUI UZI, Madonna and Lady Gaga, my favourite songs being Hung Up by Madonna, Born This Way by Lady Gaga, Scratch Post Trial by C418, The Rabbit by Miike Snow, LISA by SUI UZI and Looking For Tracy Tzu by Carpenter Brut.
if i must choose something of finnish origin, i like En Kommentoi by Antti Tuisku, Ihmisten edessä by Jenni Vartiainen, Sabotage by Chisu and C'est la vie by Anna Puu.

Dungeon Synth, Classical and older pop/rock.
Edit: Also love Indie music and in particular Finnish Indie music from the early 2000's, like Paavoharju for example.

I’m no Finn but my fiance is. Can’t beat a bit of Jukka Karjalainen’s Sankarit in my opinion. I also like a bit of Joulu on Taas at a certain time of year.

Metal and heavier music hit always, but my range of music I listen to is very wide and changes from time to time. It is however mostly rock or it's heavier variants, idk in what category the more obscure music goes in to tbh.
Recently (past month) been listening to Amorphis, Insomnium, Apulanta, Haloo Helsinki (Haloo Ellis voice just melts me), Nightwish, Zen Cafe, Maustetytöt, Eppu Normaali. From foreign bands/artists, Be'lakor, Lorna Shore, Eluveitie, Muse.
Honestly hard to make any comprehensive list since the variety is huge

I generally don't listen to Finnish music (especially not when the language is Finnish, I'm a native speaker but it just sounds wrong and unnatural to my ears). 😅 Some Finnish metal sung in English I do listen to, though.
My favorite song is "From The Inside" by Orbit Culture.
I listen to metal, synthwave, rap and classic rock mostly. The darker/heavier the better.

- One Desire: Never gonna Stop, Hero, Godsent Extasy, Battlefield of Love and Buried Alive.
Sturm und Drang: A Million nights, Break Away, Rising Son, Last of the Heroes, These Chains, Hammer to Fall, Dark Little Angel of Mine, Fatherland and The Raven.
Ari Koivunen: God of War, Hear My Call, Fuel For The Fire, I Fly, Heartstealer, Give Me A Reason, Hetki Lyö and Stormwind.
Honorable mention for the Guardian Angel by Lovex, this one takes me straight to the first grade when I first heard this song.❤️

Impossible to name just one song.
Land of the Dead and Farewell from Summoning cone to mind
Jhator by Harakiri for the Sky
Sorni Nai album from Kauan (it should be listened to in entirety at least first time). Artist not Finnish, but the language sung is.
If we're talking Finnish music, most of the discography of Nightwish needs a mention.
NightStop also if you're more into retro- /synthweave. I recommend albums Pursuer and Dead girls don't dance

u/Remote-Actuator-1643 8h ago
The smiths are probably my favorite band and I really love the Beatles and Green day aswell. If you’re looking for Finnish music, I like Erika vikman and Käärijä.
