Post Swedish Metal/Hard Rock bands
Hey all,
Ive recently discovered all the greatness coming out of sweden in the hard rock/metal category. Ive already devoured Graveyard, Grand Magus, Spiders, Bombus and Ghost. I like Horisont Witchcraft and Pentagram ok but not as much as the guys listed above. Any other bands im missing out on? Thanks for any reccomendations!

Truckfighters are probably my favorite band; in the same vein as Kyuss. Great stuff.

If you're looking to a more traditional "hard rock" sound then you may like Sabaton, Arcania or Overkill.

A few of those bands you mention fall into a "doom" sort of vein as well.

Of course, you absolutely cannot go wrong with Entombed or Hellacopters

I love the TruckFighters and will get to see them on March 7, my birthday.

But it is pure QOTSA worship...not Kyuss.

Perhaps Im noobin in this category. I've been staying away from metal as I cant stand Death Metal or Stratovarius style power metal.

I can't beleive I forgot Katatonia !
Sweden is the country I have the most music from, by far.
From Garmarna,The Cardigans to MZ412, there is something in the water there, they do good.
I tend to dislike swedish black metal though, as they infuse the music with to much melody, those bastards !
I've be playing this a lot lately
