Sonata Arctica definitely rule. But some other Finnish metal bands, while being good to decent don't measure up as well. Children of Bodom are awesome on their first three albums, but afterwards, they just kinda got boring at times. Nightwish certainly have their moments, but are mainly a novelty band and are in no way superior to Maiden or Sabbath. Ensiferum certainly don't rise above good/decent. Finntroll are pretty sweet, but again don't compare to the best of British metal. After that, we get a lot of mediocrity. Finnland has it's good bands, but Britain still reigns supreme over it.

If you've got other Finnish metal to show me that puts Britain to shame, please show it to me.
