I don't really know anything about Finnish death metal, but Sweden (specifially Stockholm) is famous for straight up death metal. Nihilist, Grave, Entombed, Dismember, Unleashed, Carnage, etc. They just kinda got forgotten when melodic death metal got so big in Gothenborg. Listen to Bloodbath if you wanna hear a modern band doing some good Swedish death metal.
