Music from the Northern European, especially Scandinavian, countries. The adjective "nordic" may give associations to either something cold and melancholic, or something bleak and brutal.
The Nordic countries are generally taken to include Iceland, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark. The Nordic Council, an international organization, also includes the autonomous territories of Åland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Historically, the term Nordic was also applied to the Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
