Welcome to Gaia! ::

Here I will list for your conveinence an alphobetical list of Scandinavian metal bands by genre and country of origin. I did this in case you guys sought new music. Take note that not all of these bands are still active. That doesn't necessarily mean their music can't be found and enjoyed. Take note that some bands are listed in multiple categories.

This was a pain in the a** to gather, I didn't copy paste. You're welcome.

Feel free to correct me or name any band I forgot, it's genre and the country it hails from and I'll add it to the lists.
