Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

Finland is a country where rock music has developed remarkably, even by global standards.

In particular, the capital city Helsinki is known as a sacred ground for heavy metal, attracting highly skilled heavy metal bands from around the world.

This time, we’re introducing bands from Finland, a hot zone for rock bands!

If you love rock, you’ll find bands here you won’t be able to resist—so sit back and enjoy to the very end!

MidsommerSvartsot

Svartsot is a folk metal band formed in Denmark in 2005.

They are known for their unique style that fuses elements of death metal and black metal with folk music.

They released their debut album, Ravnenes Saga, in 2007, followed by acclaimed works such as Mulmets Viser and Maledictus Eris.

In December 2008, they faced a crisis when multiple members left the band, but they successfully reorganized.

Drawing inspiration from Danish history and folklore, their songs masterfully blend ethnic instruments like the flute and mandolin with melodic death metal.

Highly recommended for anyone interested in the fusion of Nordic traditional music and heavy metal.
