[Svarte Troner]

The Trenches Choir

[Angel Of Death]

SCREAM. BLOODY. GOOOOOREEEEEEEE!

[Heron TSG]

Has anyone here linked to any Audiomachine? They do a lot of movie trailer music, such as Hammer of the Gods.

[Jopax]

Not sure, but i think we linked Two steps from hell, several times i belive.

Other than that there was always X-Ray dog, but i think it was never posted either, which is a real shame since they are way awesome and got me to listen to this kind of music in the first place.

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

One week to Bloodstock Open Air festival. YESSS \m/

You beat me to posting that song...

Anyway, here's a longer version.

[Kay12]

I usually wouldn't post any music in Finnish in international threads, but this one's a pretty darn special piece (and a bit near the end is sung in English, so I can take refuge in the fact that even foreigners will understand something). It was written by the Finnish musician Juice Leskinen when stranded on a railway station at the town of Pieksämäki, and the lyrics describe his attempts to use his imagination to brighten up the hollow station. The song mentions and features performances of several important Finnish music stars from the days of yore, a few of them (including Leskinen himself) already dead. Sadly, this means it'll be impossible to ever fulfil Leskinen's plan of performing the song live on the very railway station the song is about, something that would've certainly been a show to remember.

Enough talk though. The song's a bit over 16 minutes, and I guess it's a bit too long for YouTube, so it's split between two pieces. Part 1 Part 2.

Funny, I've posted Finnish music here before and I'm not even Finnish myself.

Hell, I've even tried learning the language.

Well, to carry on with the Finland theme, a popular drinking song.

The chorus basically describes the singer's drinking habits. Two words: Dwarven proportions.

Ok, two more Finnish pieces for you:

Nälkämaan laulu (Song of the hunger country) is the "regional anthem" of Kainuu in North Finland. That's where my mother's from. Sung here by the Polytechnician Choir. English Wikipedia features a literal translation of the first part of the lyrics:

Hear the whisper of our woods,
the splashing of the mighty lakes.
They are speaking of our reputation,
the fierce rapids and the dismal swamps.

And now for something completely different: a... made-for-TV music video with a fairly... uh... Liberal dose of bluescreen technique. Teuvo, Maanteiden kuningas (Teuvo, the King of the Highways) describes a young lad who wishes to be a famous rally driver, and "practices" for it by driving recklessly. Funny story: We were supposed to sing this in a school concert when I was a kid, despite the fairly detailed description of car accidents (flying through the windshield, vomiting blood, spitting out teeth, death implied), but our teacher forced us to switch the piece because a severe traffic accident (I think it was Finland's worst ever) occurred a few days before the show.

And finally, back to the instrumental music: Champagne Rag is my all-time favorite ragtime piece.

[Angel Of Death]

Best stoner song ever.

That is the most a waltz has ever made me want to waltz.

A long time ago friends of mine had a band, toured in Finland, came back, and wrote a song called "Drink to die". Depressing.

The funny thing about Baarikärpänen is that the song originally satirized heavy alcohol use, but people adopted it as a drinking song. Another Eppu Normaali song, Murheellisten Laulujen Maa (Land of Sad Songs) uses dark humor to satirize the Finnish melancholy, but like Baarikärpänen, many people have adopted it as a symbol of our justified self-pity.
