Completely overrated scene. Only reason people love it like they do it is because it's a long established Nordic scene that doesn't completely suck. Give Iceland 2-3 years to develop, and then nobody will care about Finland.

Actually I love it because it has different soul from any other scene - and since I bash most popular scenes for lack of soul, I think I have some point to share at that. There's no better scene when it comes to "rawness" than Finnish bm; they make that sound being sincere and actually diabolic. Didn't find that in any other scene to be that coherent with rawness.

I believe this shout says it all and to me is a conclusion. This is the way I feel about Finnish BM. And while overall I've listened much more Norwegian and Swedish BM in the past (even Polish, USBM, etc.), recently I came to understand how good and underrated Finnish BM is,

Of course, but extreme, "hate/love" feelings, often comes with popularity. So you have people bashing Bring Me the Horizon, Slipknot and all such things, not for being good or bad, but being popular. If something is in the dark, it doesn't attract so many critics as well. / But well, I see your point, as you fairly stated some inequality. The question is, how fairly it's inequal. Which bands do you enjoy, by the way?

Well, I've seen criticism of French, German, Polish scenes which are on par in terms of popularity, but yet to see anyone (except myself) not being a fan of a Finnish one. Clandestine Blaze, Behexen (later releases), maybe Devouring Star. All are solid, although none are really top notch to me, just good bands which I enjoy once in a time. Korgonthurus, Enochian Crescent have some enjoyable songs, but not much. I guess that'd be my 5.

Possibly, one of the best scenes to still stand, at least, it's better than the current Norwegian one.

"Norway & Finland. All the best Black Metal bands come from these 2 countries." What about France!
