A salute to Finnish music
Eläkeläiset - www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOCtS-ddS2c
A Finnish band that does HUMPPA covers with Finnish lyrics of all and everything that doesn't get up a tree on a count of three. And they drink tons of beer and vodka orange during their gigs, I am a witness - I saw them live a couple of times and hang out with them

I did a cassette album on a Finnish label called "absolutely sweet tapes." 1987, I think.
It was called "from dream to dreaded jade." It did not sell a single copy.

Vader, you're into Type O, so you should dig Blake - Finnish stoner rock band. Vocalist has a kinda Danzig/Steele vibe. Basso.
Blake: Man is a Planet www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVcIxtkphHI Check the bass in the chorus.
Fireroot be a good album to pick up.
Plutonium Orange are also pretty sweet.
Aaaand that's about all the Finnish bands I know...other than black/death metal bands. Beherit are awesome.

Not quite metal, but Husky Rescue hail from Finland and are one of my fave bands. Seen them live twice now, they put on a great show (And Reeta isn't difficult to look at!)

From across the street, you see a whorehouse.
One man is entering the front door, in much haste and trepidation.
Silhouetted in the window, we see a man doing many a vaguely suggestive thing with a woman.
Exiting the back door, we see a man with a spry step and a keen smile.
Can you guess their nationalities?
This is an old joke!

What, no Finntroll?
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Amberian Dawn ?
I have come across referances to a band called Amberian Dawn. Does any one know anything about them?

I know next to nothing, which is still enough to know the question belongs in this thread. As for what I know: the singer has a pretty, operatic voice, the band (who seems to be endorsed by Ibanez) is metal, and a bit like Evanescence but not really. Also, James Earl Jones has a voice-over in Incubus, that's probably taken from Conan. Pretty cool band, though I'm more into something like The Flower Kings. But they're Swedish, so not really for this thread.

Re: A salute to Finnish music
The song's a bit too repetitive for me, but I can't fault the band for lack of enthusiasm. They clearly enjoyed themselves enough playing this that the camera operator started getting hedonistic.Vader wrote:www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOCtS-ddS2c

Nice lead singing, I must admit.
