If you wanted me to list bands that you might know, I think that's all of them, because I tend to listen to bands from Finland more than anywhere else.
I remember when Finland won the Eurovision with those guys dressed up as demons and crap.
They were pretty good.
Ah, Lordi. Some people would argue that they aren't metal but
hard rock (hence their song Hard Rock Hallelujah [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdItwaLrv1U], the one that one at Eurovision.) I'm assuming you're from Europe, then. Not many people in North America have heard of Eurovision (which is weird, cause isn't that what made ABBA famous?).
But, some other metal bands you may know that would possibly be taught in that lesson...
Edit: Not necessarily stuff I listen to, though. The first three, yes, the others I have just really heard mentioned by other people, so I assume they are fairly popular. /Edit
Gorgoroth (Norwegian Black Metal)
Finntroll (Finnish Folk/Viking Metal)
Insomnium (Finnish Melodic Death Metal)
In Flames (Swedish [the early stuff] Melodic Death metal)
Opeth (Swedish ... Extreme progressive metal? [according to metal-archives.com at least... One of two places I look when needing info on metal bands])
Children of Bodom (Finnish Melodic Death metal)
Dream Theater (American... metalarchives tells me it's progressive metal. I wouldn't know.)
I think those are the major bands I've heard of that you may know... There are honestly thousands of metal bands, so a lesson on metal would not be a bad idea. The website I check for Finnish metal has 705 bands at the moment (still counting) and metalarchives has 70 805 bands. There is much selection, believe me.

Don't forget Maximum The Hormone for the Asian equivalent ^.^
What are you on, man? Stop trying to tell me to like them. I don't, I'm sorry.
Plus, they aren't even in metalarchives' database.
But, if it makes you feel better, I did youtube them (is it sad that youtube is now a verb?), and I
still don't like them.
