I am looking to learn about under-discovered or underappreicated rock and metal bands from Scandinavia. They could be older or newer, as long as they never reached much of the mainstreams and never received much popularity.
?
Not Scandinavian but Baltic and slavic.
Lithuanian - Thundertale (hard rock), Gyvata (folk/pagan rock), Juodvarnis (black metal) and Wolfsome (sound similar to Black Keys.)
Skyforger (Latvian).
Helroth and Percival Schuttenbach (Polish)
Petter
How about some Kent or is this too soft? They are very popular in Sweden, but probably not all that well known outside of Sweden.
Kent - Kärleken väntar

Or this old classic?
Mikael Rickfors - Vingar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCAoybt4qAo
Another classic... Once again, too soft? I'm not really into rock. =)
Tomas Ledin - Just nu

A few off the beaten path
Dawn Of Solace (Finland)
Frantic Amber (Sweden)
The Man-Eating Tree (Finland)
Mors Subita (Finland)
Solution .45 (Sweden)
The Arcane Order (Denmark)
This Ending (Sweden)
Tracedawn (Finland)
Vagrant God (Norway)
Without Grief (Sweden)

I don't consider any of the Scandinavian music I listen to to be undiscovered, it's all fairly well known within the scene, but there isn't really any such thing as "mainstream" metal, as in getting radio play and such.
Ihsahn, Leprous, Shining(NOR), Borknagar, Enslaved, Amorphis, Ensiferum, Stam1na, Meshuggah, Opeth, Soilwork, Edge of Sanity, At the Gates, Dimmu Borgir(actually this band got very popular)
Staap It
Would Swedish do ? I am half Swede ya know. I am with Dominique on the FACT Danes ARE Scandinavian.
Please try (I like their oldest stuff better, the second link I provide)
