My own favourite finnish band is Mokoma, they play thrash metal in finnish
To be honest, it's probably the best band in the world (after Novembre, heehee)! Then Swallow the Sun, Machete, Callisto, Shape of despair, Stam1na and the old material of Sentenced are superb.
Pierrot: Their lyrics are actually ok at times, they've been written in a weird shape using old finnish words. Okay, I don't dig Ajattara that much, I find them boring with the newer albums
I'm kinda bored right now, lol, so I'll try to translate the first part and chorus from "Harhojen renki" (=The farm-hand of delusions
) in english:
The fresh blood of cursed child,
that I think of in solitude,
it's the death, woman's death,
death doesn't come to the men.
When the stranger shares,
his delusions
Praying sells his freedom,
may the dirt turn into ashes,
and spirit be broken,
the farm-hand of delusions chokes on soil. (farm-hand is the word in dictionary)
