I had the opposite problem. I struggled to narrow it down to just 12. I could've listed 12 favourites just from Denmark alone.

I take it as Bands means bands only and not artists. Maybe something like this (no order): Piirpauke (Fin) Oriental Wind (Swe) Ragnarök Swe) Haikara (Fin) Elephant9 (Nor) Dungen (Swe) Kultivator (Swe) Ævestaden (Nor/Swe) Sukellusvene (Fin) Jordsjø (Nor) Motorpsycho (Nor) Morte Macabre (Swe) No danes, but:
