Most likely, the first thing you think of when you hear someone talk about Portugal is probably Cristiano Ronaldo and his massive impact on the sport of soccer or that Portugal bookends Europe; it’s almost a guarantee the last thing that comes to mind is black metal.

Greek modern metal five piece SCAR OF THE SUN is poised to reach the next level with the release of their otherworldly third full-length, Inertia, out May 14, 2021 via Napalm Records.

A Series Of Unfortunate Concurrencies (2011), and sophomore offering
In Flood (2016).

MELODIC BLACKENED DOOM DEATH: Pardon the self-absorbed twaddle sullying this first paragraph or so, but Greece’s Nightfall is a band this particular armchair quarterback has had a long-term relationship with since their 1991 formation. More specifically, since 1992 when they released their debut

If you want to find more bands there is no better nation to look at than Finland. If you are new to Metal and want to become more involved, bands I would suggest looking for as a starting point would be Children of Bodom, Ensiferum, Nightwish, Turisas and Stratovarius. PS Best part too I m part Finnish, so Metal is basically in my genes.
