Finnish hardcore is a visceral and high-energy music genre that originated in Finland in the early 1980s, drawing influence from the international punk movement and injecting it with a uniquely Finnish intensity and rawness. Characterized by its aggressive tempos, gritty guitar riffs, and often politically charged and rebellious lyrics, the genre serves as an outlet for youthful angst and social criticism. Bands like Appendix and Kaaos epitomize the relentless speed and abrasive soundscapes that define Finnish hardcore, while groups such as Terveet Kädet incorporate elements of crust punk and d-beat, contributing to the genre's notorious reputation for relentless shows and an unwavering commitment to the DIY ethos. This ferocious style of music became a voice for Finland's restless underground scene and has maintained a cult following into the present day.
