Scandinavia is Metal's holy-land. More than any other European culture, it's been the Swedes and Norse who have cultivated a brand of Rock that countless others have tried to emulate. It's no surprise that Sweedish Metal band Grave Robbert delivers a hard-hitting tune titled "The Ecstasy of the Night" - there are all the normal trappings that fans will enjoy (screaming vocals, virtuosic guitar, double bass kicks...etc) but there is a super cool friendliness to the song; almost as if it has a pop sensibility. This isn't to say that it's toothless, far from it, it's just to point out that this music can have a wider appeal than just the hard-liners.
