Are any of you guys Finnish…or at the least knowledgable of Finland and what’s happening there? I’ve recently been turned on to, thanks to Newgrounds, a Finnish group called Turmion Kätilöt. I was wondering what the skinny is with them and what the hell they’re saying sometimes in songs like Lepositeet, Verta ja Lihaa, and Rautaketju. This is all out of curiousity…
Mabatsekker is from Helsinki…ask him. :3
Finland is cool. They gave us Nightwish and the basis for Tolkien’s Quenya Elfish language. The only downside is that their speaking cadence is just this side of Welsh for the purposes of strangely-accented English.

Turmion Kätilöt (Midwives of doom >_>), eh? Can’t say I’ve heard of these guys before.
I can translate the lyrics if you really want to know what they are saying, though. I’ll check them out once I get back home
Finland also gave us Sonata Arctica.
Finland rocks.
FOOL! Noone in Europe is SKINNY! They are all well-fed.
:kissy:
Didn’t finland give us IRC too?`
What the hell is IRC? And also…is the O and A with the two dots above it the same pronounciation as it would be in German? Sorry if this is an ignorant question…
America is the cunrty with the 60 percent obesity rate. I just assume everyone else is thin.
I’m personally a twig-man, but most of the pople I know can be considered “over-weight”.

Vodka Tasting Notes
Finlandia Finland
An interesting apricot, white peach nose. Smooth and silky palate offering flavors of sweet grain and tart apples. Semi-tart and peppery on the finish.
You are right. European tourists are freaking out when they see average “mericans” in their natural milieu.
Seconded. Finland also rocks for giving us Stratovarius and Blind Guardian.
Isn’t Blind Guardian from Germany?
I dunno, I always thought they were from Finland.
This looks like a job for Wikipedia!
Gabbdlegack. I’m back from a three week command consisting of one week in ze regiment of Hyrylä and two in a camp in Lohtaja, and this is what turns up?
Verta ja Lihaa = Blood and Meat
Rautaketju = Iron Chain
Can’t really say I’m into heavier music, but it’s a good way to pass time and listen to.
Finlandia Vodka can really mess you up. Especially if it’s your first bottle of spirits. And you drink it like water. Guh. Bad memories.
Finlandian vodka is ok.
Stratovarius are fuckin awesome, they’re from finland. So is Finntroll, and they’re really cool too.
