Scandinavia: Sweden, Norway and Denmark. No end of insanely good sounds.

30 Days in the North — a journal entry style — by date, genre, and the order played.

Arguably some of these bands transcend styles, but I prefer to categorise artists with the style they’re synonymous with.

And I’d love your recommendations. If it comes from Scandinavia, let me know about it.

The list will be developed over the month. I’ll be adding what I’m listening to each day.

Mon Sep 30:

Norwegian Black Metal

  • Darkthrone Under A Funeral Moon LP 1993
  • Darkthrone Panzerfaust LP 1995
  • Darkthrone Total Death LP 1996
  • Darkthrone Ravishing Grimness LP 1999

Swedish Death Metal

  • Grotesque In The Embrace of Evil 1989

Danish Heavy Metal

  • Mercyful Fate The Beginning LP 1987
  • Witch Cross Fit For Fight LP 1984
