Elephant9 (Norway)
Fire! / Fire Orchestra (Sweden)
Gösta Berlings Saga (Sweden)
Haikara (Finland)
Kultivator (Sweden)
Morte Macabre (Sweden)
Ragnarök (Sweden)
Samla Mammas Manna / Zamla Mammaz Manna / Von Zamla (Sweden)
Sigur Rós (Iceland)

----------------------------

Motorpsycho (Norway) and Höyry-Kone (Finland) if a baker's dozen plus one.

Me too! Shocked
Geographically, Finland is a Nordic country that certainly belongs to Eastern Europe, not to Scandinavia. Genetically, Finns also have some additional East Eurasian ancestry connected to ancient Siberia.
