FINNTROLL is playing?!!!

third

why do people like nightwish?

dark tranquility is one of the worst bands out there and easily one of the most boring sets i've ever had to set through.

yes! dark tranquility is ass cancer!

The new DARK TRANQUILLITY CD is actually good.

nightwish is good and Sonata Arctica is AMAZING

ninkaszi said:

Agreed.

I somewhat like Finntroll though, but everyone else sucks. And even Finntroll isn't that great.

lots of dudes with beer guts posing for shitty pictures in leather pants.

amon amarth is from sweden too!!!!!!!! and impious - one of my favourite bands also.
skandnavia rocks!

Finland isn't part of Scandinavia.

it means soilwork sucks

When's therion coming and where?

technically, finland is a scandinavian country, because its culture is very similar to the danish, swedish and norwegian cultures...plus they had vikings

thats cool.....but when are therion coming around?

i've always liked dark tranquillity. i wonder if all the metalcore kids will realize their favorite bands ripped all their riffs off of dark tranquillity and at the gates when they see dt play at metalcorefest in april.

therion comes in september and will also be going to prog power fest

behemoth as we know is also coming over on the viking ship

Abbath, people like Nightwish because Tarja has an amazing voice and there's some nice music behind it, plain and simple. Dark Tranquillity are great musician's with really catchy music, and every album is different, they don't reuse the same thing over and over like lots of the melo-death bands out there.

and by great musician's i mean great musicians.

No, it's not... It's culture is distinct from those of the countries to its West, marked most blatnatly by an entirely different language, which has more in common with those of the Baltic states than it does with any Scandinavian language.

I don't like soilwork...

According to Lonely Planet travel guide Finland is part of Scandinavia...

Finland is a country in Scandinavia, it's a fact, get over it.

Hey guys, is Finntroll really playing??
