When talking about Finnish Metal pioneers, nobody mentioned Kimmo Kuusniemi (Sarcofagus). Kimmo predicted that Finnish Heavy Metal will never be big thing in Finland, so certainly he must have been there before anyone had made any significant impact in the Finnish Metal scene. Also Kirka and his sister Muska loved Hard Rock and Metal and both actually sang in Kimmo's band. Both could sing Metal. Kimmo Kuusniemi Band's album "Moottorilinnut" (Motor Birds) (1982) was the first Metal album sang in Finnish. When speaking about Finnish Rock bands, which were noticed abroad, Hurriganes was left unmentioned. The story tells that Hurriganes' guitarist Ile Kallio was considered by Paul McCartney to be the guitarist for his band Wings. Also the 70s Finnish Progressive Rock scene was noticed abroad. As were the late 70s early 80s Punk/Hardcore scene, which probably has something to do with the Finnish Metal bands being popular in Latin America and also partly in Japan. E.g. Max Cavalera of Sepultura has cited the Finnish Punk bands Terveet Kädet and Kaaos as some of his all-time favourite bands.

Even though Bomfunk mc's is not metal at all but they were hugely admired by many metal musicians. HIM, Nightwish, Apocalyptica as metal bands. Darude. They were one of those first finnish bands which became big abroad. It gave inspiration for finnish bands that you actually can get big and famous even if you come from a very small population european country. Music industry here got interested that you actually can get money out of this business. So we started to export music. I remember well that time era.

Moottorilinnut is an album by Kimmo Kuusniemi Band. Originally Kuusniemi's band was called Sarcophagus, and they released two albums at the very beginning of the '80's. Moottorilinnut features various vocalists, among which the most well-known are Kirill "Kirka" Babitzin (who also released two quality hard rock albums R.O.C.K. and The Spell despite having been one of the most popular pop singers in Finland from the '60's) and his sister Muska Babitzin.

But the documentary was built mainly by the artists' opinions and nobody seemed to think of Sentenced as a pioneer. Please, don't get us wrong, we LOVE sentenced and we are aware of their importance, but without anybody from the band to say something, there was no space to simply mention them or tell their story.

Stratovarius reached us after the mid 90s with the release of "Fourth Dimension" mainly, before that they were pretty much obscure. As for Tarot, most people found out about them, after Nightwish's explosion in the late 90s and then came Children Of Bodom and took the world by storm! Very sad that nobody from Sentenced wished to participate.

Kjell did briefly mention Sentenced along with Amorphis. IMO with Sentenced releasing their first album at the start of the 90's they were among the first ones especially with their sound being a step towards the Finnish metal sound, albeit their bigger albums only came out from 95 onwards. Overall Sentenced is a band that never got the appreciation it deserved, especially outside the scene. Guess the lyrics were slightly darker than expected for mainstream so they barely got any spotlight in their direction.

@@heavymetalcivilization9377 Bullshit. When Sentenced releast them first album 1991 just like Amorphis. Those were two pioneers of death metal in Finland that was very underground music at that time. At that time Swedish death metal was still forming in Göteborg as At The Gates recorted them first ep at 1991 releasing first album in 1992. Of course the first album from both sucked and sounds were poor but both bands released killer album as second album. North From Here and Tales From a Thousand Lakes were musicly great and production and sound was way more better. There weren´t much of a scene for death (or black) metal in anywhere at that time. There started to come somekind of scene in the middle 90´s and by that time both bands had got softer. Sentenced changed singer to Ville Laihiala and recorded Down in 1996 as them fourth album and Amorphis recruited Pasi Koskinen for a new singer in to Elegy that was third release at the same year 1996. After that both bands got famous in Finland propably for the reason that those both bands got some tv-time in popular youngster show Jyrki. Noose was big hit of Sentenced with music video and Against Widows did the same for Amorphis. After that both bands sould themself out and got more softer i draw the line about there ditched both bands for years...

I can see why you think that (and for the most part, I do agree with you). However, I knew Timo Tolkki personally at one time so I know the real reasons why they didn't talk about his importance: because Tolkki is a mentally unstable narcissistic liar! He's an abusive thieving perverted piece of human shit! I do agree we can't ignore the impact he did have but I also know they don't want to talk/deal with that guy anymore! I still work with one of his old assistants. The vibe I got from him is (and Zachary Hietala regarding Tarot's old guitarist Mako), when they're done with you, they're DONE! They want to move on! It might be the Finnish way (I'm American so I don't truly know if it is and never discussed it with my Finn friends). To many Finnish musicians, this is likely how he's seen in their eyes.

Another thing about Finland (and Sweden, too) that isn't exactly well-known is that the early D-Beat / HC punk developed even more aggressive in the north. For example, Terveet Kädet made a huge impact around the world in the underground circles, which eventually spawned big bands like Sepultura, Metallica, Pantera etc. I read some old interviews where these guys actually mention the band as an influence. Terveet Kädet had such an aggressive and chaotic sound, which pretty much already had the rawness of early black metal and the speed and attitude of the slowly growing thrash scene around the world. Something people either don't know or have already forgot about.

I think you should consider watching the documentary with more attention to see many of the names you've mentioned also mentioned. Also, to see that this is not a doc about the bands. This is a doc about the Finnish scene being build and metal becoming mainstream in the country. All the bands you've mentioned are important but not all of them can be considered trailblazers for metal becoming mainstream. The story here is told by some of the most representative Finnish rockstars that are mainstream and responsible for the scene to grow and Finland be known as a metal country in the world.HIM and COB are mentioned as some of the most important bands to make Finnish metal known in the world. And being honest, HIM isn't even a metal band... Impaled Nazarene: haven't you seen Mika's interview? Fintroll: there's a member of Finntrol interviewed. Some of the bands you've mentioned might be representative for you, but they are not representative for the rise up go Finland as a metal country that happened from 1996 to be first part of 2000's.

What comes to the Finnish REAL Metal festivals, there's no mention of Jalometalli Metal Music festival that was held annually in Oulu, Finland... (read more: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalometalli_Metal_Music_Festival). It's just too bad the festival is no more...

I don't really buy this climate and temperament theory. We have 4 seasons and beautiful nature all around. The fact is, metal from Finland is believable and the kids realized that. Compare that to finnish Country or Pop music from the 80's and 90's. You couldn't sell that to anyone outside Finland. Metal was a real global youth movement that you could be part of. And luckily, cookie-monster growling made the bad English irrelevant.

Hi,Maila here! I agree with you in several points. I don't think the climate is the reason for metal to outstand in Finland. I think it's more about being believable and truth to yourself. But I do think that the long dark months give a little help to melancholy and make us more fond of strong music. But I wouldn't say this is the main reason either. However, the documentary shows the artists opinions ;). Thank you for passing by.

It's funny that the name of the documentary is A Heavy Metal Civilization: The History of Finnish Heavy Metal and only one Finnish heavy metal band, Tarot, is mentioned in it. What Hietala says about Tarot and the scene of the 80s is still quite true even today. In Finland, hardly anyone plays or talks about heavy metal. Heavy metal is not the same thing as metal. Heavy metal is still really underground, and you hardly see any bands playing heavy metal at any Finnish gigs or festivals. All heavy metal is metal, but not all metal is heavy metal.

Heavy metal is nowadays a term that can mean the whole metal family or just the one genre, often called classic heavy nowadays. Heavy metal is the grandfather of all metal music, thus giving it's name to the metal family (family name, ehh?).

@@texdillinger6173: I've been a fan of Bodom for over 20 years. These clowns are milking what's left of Alexi for money. Still, it's hard to believe the documentary was basically "Nightwish this" and that when Bodom was a huge force in the global arena on the opposite end of the metal spectrum. Yeah, at the time the producers probably couldn't get Alexi or some other member of the band since this documentary was made in 2019, but they couldn't even mention the group? It's really hard to believe how people have forgotten about Alexi's impact.

Hello, Maila here. Children of Bodom is actually my favorite band and Christina also loves them. Of course we wanted someone from the band to be in the doc but, unfortunately, none of them wanted to. But if you watched it, they are mentioned several times during the film, their importance is there, and Alexi is even mentioned as the face of Finnish heavy metal by some of the artists.

No member of COB wanted to participate. We tried for two years. And documentary isn't basically Nightwish this... Nightwish is mentioned by the artists the same way as COB. Marco Hietala has a great spot in the doc but it isn't because of Nightwish. It's because he is is one of the founders of the Finnish metal scene, way before Nightwish even existed. The Finnish artists themselves drove the documentary. It is all based on their opinions, their experiences and their own stories.

What is Kiko doing here? Wheres VV? Oh sure, HIM is not metal enough. This is what annoys me about these guys, they are só close minded. The hell with what kind of média you sell, the content is what matters. I agree with that guy though, heavy metal is getting boring. Its kinda ironic to think that a style of music that has ar least 50 subgenres just feels outdated no matter what. Thats what got me into HIM. All the clássical metal riffs with rock and pop love songs? Felt fresh at the time. Children of boddom very good as well. But they certainly need something new. Unfortunatly, Im guessing the USA Will have to come up with new vibes for the rest of the world to follow, as always. Anyway, good doc, thank you
