Finland is really starting to become more and more a hotbed for solid hard rock and heavy metal these last few years. It is not at the level of its neighbour Sweden by any means but definitely starting to catch up. Just a few of the many Finland based bands that come to mind include one of my favorites, the now defunct Wolfchild, as well as a slew of up and comers such as Shiraz Lane, Block Buster and now Sixgun Renegades.
