I think it's the most metal country in the world... thinking that it has so many (famous!) bands and only a bit over 5 million inhabitants... Maybe Sweden is quite close, but I still believe that Suomi holds the record!

hmmm...
Amorphis
Ensiferum
Insomnium
Kalmah
Nightwish
Celesty
Wintersun
Sonata Arctica
Korpiklaani
EToS
Apocalyptica
Amberian Dawn
and many, many more... :p

Amorphis and EtoS... I forgot them! So silly of me, because I've been playing these like crazy in the past month! Totally irreplaceable bands. And I think that the new EToS album RULES. Anyone agree?

If you aren't familiar with them and you like melodic death metal...well MPE is for you! Never really got the attention they would've deserved.
