Hottest Men of METAL

Mathias Nygård (a.k.a. Warlord; born Aug 26th, 1982 in Hämeenlinna, Finland).
Singer of Turisas.




Yep. Same guy.



So you see this guy who is just insanely good looking (to the point of still looking attractive with his face covered with red and black paint -- seriously, what the hell) and you think "well, it can't get better than that". And then. He opens his mouth. And out comes the most glorious voice ever.

Mathias Lillmåns (a.k.a. Vreth; born Aug 30th, 1982 in Pietarsaari, Finland).
Vocalist of Finntroll and a number of other bands (sometimes also bass player).




Vreth is one of my favorite harsh vocalists (he's insane live!) and, as you can see, he's also ridiculously good looking, probably being the main reason Metalocalypse has once spelled their name as "Fintrolls" (which, unlike the actual name with two Ns, means "pretty trolls").



Also responsible for this, though, is the band's guitar player:

Samuli Ponsimaa (a.k.a. Skrymer; born Aug 26th, 1977 in Helsinki, Finland).

Daniel Gildenlöw (born Jun 5th, 1973 in Eskilstuna, Sweden).
Singer and guitarist (also main songwriter) of Pain of Salvation.



This is one of my favorite musicians of all time. This man's voice can deliver so much emotion you'll be amazed. He is also a brilliant songwriter. Plus, if you ever listen to one of his songs: read the lyrics. Always read the lyrics.
Now, just look at him:




Oh, and his live performances are breathtaking.



This is not all the beauty this band was blessed with, though.
Meet the guitar player...

Johan Hallgren (born Apr 13th, 1975 in Eskilstuna, Sweden).




Johan is a sweetheart, really talented, incredibly charismatic and full of energy on stage, thus a fan's favorite. Still, he unfortunately left the band in 2011 to have more time for his family.

Which is sad, because we miss him. BUT good news is he was then replaced by a guy who is also incredibly talented, has been contributing imensely to the band also as singer and songwriter and is maybe even more deserving of this list:

Ragnar Zolberg (born Dec 2nd, 1986 in Reykjavík, Iceland).

Tommy Karevik (born Nov 1st, 1981 in Stockholm, Sweden).
Singer of Kamelot and Seventh Wonder.





Also one of the greatest singers of all time.

Mark Jansen (born Dec 15th, 1978, in Reuver, Netherlands).
Vocalist and guitar player of Epica, MaYaN and ex-After Forever.




Mark is that guy everyone adores. He's an amazing songwriter, founder of one of the biggest symphonic metal bands in the world and a really down to earth person, who always takes his time to be nice to fans.

Teemu Mäntysaari (born Jan 7th, 1987 in Tampere, Finland).
Guitarist of Wintersun.





It is my duty to inform you that Teemu falls in a very blessed category of male: hot AND adorable.

Heri Joensen (born Feb 21th, 1973 in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands).
Singer and guitar player of Týr.





Terji Skibenæs (born Dec 27th, 1982 in Skipanes, Faroe Islands).
Guitar player of Týr.
