Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating *

The Scandinavian countries have a proud history of producing some really great music that catches the ear in more ways to the British ear than say music from Southern Europe. From Abba, A-Ha, Lena Marlin, In The Woods, Jacob Bro, Lars Ulrich of Metallica fame and Candlemass have all made an impression somewhere along the lines in the lives of music lovers from the U.K.  They are hard acts to live up to and newer bands trying to make any head way in their own country has a huge mountain to climb.
