The number of Norwegian artists in my collection is still fairly limited. If you have any sort of interest in electronic or ambient music you should definitely give Biosphere a listen, if you haven't done so already of course. His 1997 album Substrata is considered an ambient masterpiece and rightly so. He's based in Tromsø and Substrata has a cool Arctic feel to it.
Other than that I could list some black metal bands that you have probably heard anyway, or don't care about, but Ulver in particular definitely deserve a mention. While their first three albums are black metal with folk influences, their more electronic and progressive stuff from Perdition City onward is incredible and are a band I'd definitely recommend to everyone.
