"Originally it was just about music and Sweden was dressed up for pop, but it then turned into a comic about the famous Scandinavian metal scene.
Norway, Sweden and Finland are known for metal, while Denmark is better known for rock.
Iceland is of course dressed up as Björk. :XD:
Oh, and Finland has that weird reddish skin-colour because a lot of the Finnish metal and rock bands I’ve seen are painted in some way."

Well… We have Copenhell here every year… Gotta count for something.
Elton John reference
Unfortunately, I don’t think the artist was aware of Skálmöld, Iceland’s unofficial national metal band, when they originally drew this comic like 12 years ago
Do look them up, some of their music is really good. I particularly like their album Baldur, as it’s a continuous story about viking mythology and filled with beautiful pieces like Heima. They’ve also played alongside the Iceland Symphony Orchestra
I need to improve my flag knowledge to understand this comic lol
Oh it’s Iceland. Thanks for identifying them.
PS: Bjork rules
The more of these comics I see, the more I realize I should have been born Finnish.
