I would have guessed Norway, or maybe Sweden, so Finland is not a big surprise.
 
 I wonder what exactly causes the Scandinavians to be metalheads?  The Viking history?  The lack of sun for a portion of the year?  The ice and the snow?  The hot springs blow?

 Finns are also the coffee-drinkingest nation.
 
 They also have a high suicide rate.  Go figure.

Something like that... a lot of those Scandinavian metal bands (in particular the ones from Norway and Finland) use a lot of Nordic imagery.

I'm reviving this old thread because...why not give the metalheads here their own thread to talk about all things metal. Or all Finlandphiles.
