Hi guys !
Put here some of your country famous bands which are not so popular in abroad. It's interesting to know some of them.
It doesn't matter what is the genre.
Here's Apulanta which is celebrating their 20 years career this year.
CMX (formed in 1985)
Timo Rautianen & Trio Niskalaukaus
Mokoma (thrash metal)
Evile, an English thrash band.. not sure how well known they are to anyone ?
These guys are called Koyi K utho, not my cup of tea, but they have good production:
These are some popular bands here in different styles...
I am Russian who lives in Latvia. So I will write about bands from both countries
Latvia
Well, I don't know much about Latvian music, but some bands are pretty awesome here
My favorite band would probably be Prāta Vētra (Brainstorm). Here is the most popular song of them, but you should check out some more
Here is Latvian pagan metal bands that might be known abroad as they were in Wacken 2008
Skyforger
Here my knowlege in Latvian rock and metal ends
Russia
There is a very big rock scene in Russia and I don't know if at least one band is known abroad. Probably not...
The band wich introduced metal to me and was the first music I was intrested in is Aria. It is very popular band in Russia. They play Heavy Metal. They singer left the band and started a solo career. Here is the video with new singer.
Here is the video of their old singer's solo stuff This song is a big hit here.
Gorky Park was a great band and if I am not mistaken they are well known abroad
King and Jester (Король и Шут) play horror punk, recently they released an album in the genre wich they call art punk
(Perhaps there will be too many videos in the post, so I will post links)

Okay, I think it is enoght I hope you will find time to check at least half of them :D
This is a band i dont think many know about but i really liked them
As for sweden i don't know really..
I'm sure we have alot of death metal bands that are pretty unknown, since death metal together with power metal are our main music (Well, that i like).
Great Prog-power metal band called "Moonlight agony".

Then a band that is pretty well known but deserves WAY more recognision than what they got is of course our band Meshuggah, great Extreme-prog band.

This is quite possibly Romania's most known and famous modern rock mainstream band
here an awesome band from Brazil
This is another great band from Colombia:
Hatesphere
Mnemic
DAD - Somewhat popular in some other countries than Denmark, but they're pretty popular in Denmark, they're said to be our biggest rock band
Dizzy Mizz Lizzy - They were Denmarks biggest rock band once, before they stopped, and pretty popular in Japan
And I know two other bands too, but they only sing in danish, and its mainly like comedian-ish music, if you want to check them out it is Red Warszawa and De Nattergale, anywho my favorite band from this list is Hatesphere
Eventhough you might not understand Danish, this Red Warszawa video is enjoyable
and one of my favorites bands
The Big Three..
Die Aerzte (play this song and every german will sing along...):
Die Toten Hosen (they should be known in Argentina) :
Beatsteaks (admired by both of the above):
Great stuff guys!
what about this one...?
Kvelertak:
Purified In Blood:
Motorpsycho:
Audrey Horne:
Gluecifer:
Seigmen:
Big Bang:
That's just some of the great bands we have here in Norway,
hope you like some of it
I have recently been listening to the Swedish/Danish band Amaranthe!
I hope that more girls like this will show up in the Metal genre soon!:P
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y25snz83ms
Amaranthe is great, the singer was on the european tour with Kamelot last year, great voice, and she looks really good as well
I also had the pleasure of watching Kvelertak at a festival this year, cool guys.
Here is a press release about Atlanta Band MASTADON. They are doing a record signing at a killer local record store called CRIMINAL RECORDS which is sadly going out of business. They recorded at a huge studio here in town called DOPPLER which is also circling the bowl so to speak. Can't blame them for going the "Label Route" but it looks like it's just bad timing. Most of the indie record stores, high budget studios and indie record labels around here are going out of biz.
Here is a link to some info
http://blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-music-scene/2011/09/27/atlanta-quartet-mastodon-celebrates-new-album-release/
They recorded their first demo, (as I mentioned before) where my old band GNOSTIC recorded their first demo, Led Belly Studios. So if you are ever in Atlanta, call Matthew @ LedBelly! he is one of the few guys here in town who really knows how to make a band have baaaaaawwwwwwwwllllllllzzzz.
I won't write much, I'll just post two songs I really like from my favorite band of former Yugoslavia: Indexi.
Enjoy
