Our Reaction to Top 40 Greatest Swedish Metal Bands Of All Time!

Do a deep dive into Ghost and the pope-lore!

Scudiero,Majestica, Sabaton 🤔😸😺

Whoever made this list and created the original video deserves a strongly worded letter. 😅

Great reaction! You've got to check out Amaranthe!🤘😉 I got introduced to them through Sabaton. Amaranthe were opening band for Sabaton on the Great Tour in Europe 2019/2020. I became a fan after been seeing them live.

A best of sweden list without Katatonia ? Really!? Seventh Wonder and Pain of Salvation not even mentioned ?

wow, my expected podium 7th, 11th and 17th.. not an expert my any means but I expected the most interesting part being if who ever made this list would rank in flames or sabaton as no 1.

Many peope think that Swedish music is just ABBA, but that's like saying the UK has nothing more than the Beatles. Sweden, the UK, and USA are the only countries that export more music than they import

Lmfao, on Ghost, when you said "they're swedish, I'm, sure the lyrics are quite normal!" I lost it. He's literally singing "HELL SATAN, Welcome Year Zero" :D

You are best !!!

Old metal head here. Sabaton, Amon Amarth and Raubtier.

MESHUGGAH!!!!!!!

Definitely a one person opinion list 😋
Amaranthe on 25:th 😲

Im Swedish and NEVER listened to therion.....what crap was that?? Ha ha ha

My favorite Swedish bands are not on the list Clawfinger, Arch Enemy, Pain (Peter Tägtgren from Hypocrisy and Lindemann), Electric Boys, the heavy version of Europe (not their commercial stuff), Talisman, John Norum and 220 Volt.

Vomitory!

I would not put them in that order (for example Orbit Culture is so good), but I think both of you would like and check out Opeth and Ghost more

now go ahead and react to Dream Evil - Insane from the new album

oI hope you look at a full video of a rockgroupe you liked :-) not only a couple of secunds

A respectable third place for Opeth, but personally i think they are easily number 1. Unique, interesting and a good mix of hard and more meloic metal.

So many bad clips of the bands, not a good representation of most of them in my opinion. Some favorite from this list (and of the list) is Amaranthe, Evergrey, Hammerfall, Ghost, Europe, Sabaton, Amon Amarth, Dead by April, Opeth, Majestica and Skitarg.

What a bad list. Mostly growling bands. Dead by april not making the list? Come on...

This is the most inaccurate list ever

The metal scene presents music and an atmosphere just like a producer makes horror movies. Most metalheads and bands are very friendly people. I myself like this music, and it is in many ways a outlet for agression and a little escape from normal life. :-)

Orbit Culture are criminally underrated and Amaranthe have an extensive catalogue. And you're right, you are going to like them.

Really nice to see Bathory get the praise they deserve. Also nice to see they got two songs and whoever made the video picked Destroyer of worlds.
I highly recommend to check out both songs, the first clip was from their only music video One rode to Asa bay.
R.I.P. Quorthon. R.I.P. Boss
Hail the hordes

In Flames and Opeth is my favorites.

You watched "Shut your mouth" by Pain in the 50 best rock/metal song from Swe/Fin. Peter, or "Pain", is the front man of Hypocrisy. Maybe that is why you recognize the band.

That was a really bad representation of Swedish metal bands 🙈 but great reaction 🤘 you should check out Dead By April feat Tommy Körberg for every step.

Bathory ended in 2004 if I'm not mistaken.

No Katatonia? 🤔

You can't judge a band by it's snippet 😊

Melodic death metal bands are over the top! But not Tiamat, Lake of tears, Morgana Lefay and mannnnnyyyyy others????

Soilworks old guitarist wass my music teacher

What band was the best?: HELL SATAN!!!

Since when is Europe metal??

Sabaton, Majestica, Amaranthe and Raubtier are my favorites. But this list was horrible in how it was put together. The ranking is subjective I get that as I disagree with it for sure, but the quality of the clips were awful. If you choose to do this video by live shows then pick great clips that show the group in a good light instead of picking the first clip that pops up. I do like metal but some of subgenres I quite dislike, but overall they could have picked a studio recording of each band instead so the audio could be shown properly.

How can opeth be just an honorable mention? LOL!!! They're easily top 5!!

She is clm but mister need extra protection glasses ..... lol

I like Noctural Rites

14: Heavy Load is 80 s speed / heavy metl bnd = legend trhu decates.. I love it !

19.32 Bathory listen bass player work... Super!

Soilwork on 29th is wild.
Been a global name for 20 years...

Yea, do this list is exclusively based on personal taste.
No account for sales, popularity or impact on the scene.

Bathory at no1 makes sense.
Haveing Opeth, Messugha and Marduk in the top ten also makes sense.
Please not that Im saying this from an objective standpoint, I dont listen to any of them.
But leaving In Flames out of the top 10 is just pure nonsense.
They were the biggest metal band on the planet at their peak.
One of the biggest bands in any genre which is something not many, if any other, metal bands can ever boast about.

Im not sure they should be out of the top5.
Also, Soilwork at 29 is kinda ridiculous.
Arch Enemy was maybe placed decently as in how many band should rank above them but when considering what particular bands were placed ahead, their placing makes no sense.
They were absolutely massive, still are as far as I know.

Hammerfall is a weird one.
In Sweden many consider them as kinda cheezy and kinda childish, like what young teens listen to just when they get into metal.
I dont think the vast majority of Swedes would think of Hammerfall if asked about legendary Swedish metalbands.
BUT from what I understand, they were massively popular in many other nations so, personally their placement feels way to high for me but they might have a fair placing from a global view, I cant say for sure.

This is such a weird list I ha e to wonder if whoever made this list put Bathory on top just to not p¡ss off the entire metal community.

You can tell that who ever made this list don’t like metal.

Sabaton and Ghost ❤

Nah the biggest metal band in Sweden is The Kristet Utseende.

Which Swedish Metal Band is your Favorite?
