Classify Band and Guess Ethnicity

[Freomæg]

Best photos I can find which don't give anything away. No cheating (looking at the URL of the image - I couldn't be bothered to transfer to photobucket) ;).

I didn't look at the URLs and I don't know who the band is. Aside from the bald dude, the all have a Southeastern look to them. I'll guess Romanian!

First picture, left to right.

1. A blend between Southern CM(or robust oriental Alpine) and Dinaric, an Armenian?

2. A robust Nordic and Scandinavian Bruenn, an amalgamated type known "Tronder".

3. A very reduced Borreby, he doesn't have that stereotypical cherubic face or the stout physique. A Nordic agent could be involved in his case but probably just far from the 'alpinoid' extreme.

4. Purely southern CM, somewhat similar to the first one but much more exaggerated.

The lighter members are either Danes or Norwegians, but probably Norway. The first one looks like he's from the Caucasus(Armenia?), the fourth might be from southern-Iberia or a north-west Sahara.

Alpinoid-meds and Borreby-nordids. Brazil?

All wrong ;).

They're called Vreid and they're from a rural town called Sogndal, in Norway. Furthermore, they're very, very proud of their Norwegian heritage and all (bar one) used to play in a folk/heritage-centric band called Windir. I don't know about the individual members' ancestry but I'm fairly sure they have little non-Norwegian background. I could be wrong.

Names (first picture - left to right):
Sture Dingsøyr
Jørn Holen
Ese (stage name)
Jarle Kvåle

The moment I saw the long haired guys I thought of the members from 'system of a down'. It's remarkable how dark some Norwegians are; Perhaps this is due to the influx of Celtic slaves in medieval times or the Phoenician sea invaders?
