Here is a few band that I feel capture the diverse and rich sound of Norway. It's agressiv, dark, brutal, raw, it's rock n' roll, or as some say, metal.
Aura Noir - Hades Rise
A great record, which gives you the real feeling of true old school metal. Brutal energy from start to finish. You should also check out their older releases.

Darkthrone - Sardonic Wrath
I really think this album is way underrated. Maybe it's because this record embraces those who like metal and punk, and not those who only like A Blaze in the Northern Sky and Under a Funeral Moon aka. purist. Both those records are great, especially A Blaze in the Northern Sky which is fucking excellent. But every track on Sardonic Wrath manage to give me an energy boost.

Gjenferdsel - Varde
I don't think this band is very wellknown, but I can be wrong. It has some really killer tracks, but it can get a little repetitive. But it's worth checking out.

Nattefrost - Blood & Vomit
It hits you in the face like a sledge hammer, and even though it hurts like fuck, you can't help but like it. I think this is a very sucessfull side-prosject from the frontman of Carpathian Forest. It's perverted, but who really take black metal literally?

Vreid - I Krig
Since the picture I've taken, as shown above, is from Sogndal, I thought I should pay some homage to Sogndal. Some might ask why the hell I'm not putting Windir up there, but personally I like I Krig by Vreid the most.
