Well, that made my day.

That is so full of win.

Awesome. I love Finns. My wife's relatives are fantastic. (and they let us stay in their summer house in the lake region when we're over there.)


They also have something called The Complaint Choir. Check it out.

They have folks send in random complaints and then they sing the complaints... It's hilarious in a way that only the Finns can be.

You're so near to Russia.
So far from Japan.
Quite a long way from Cairo.
Lots of miles from Vietnam.

I liked this too..

Sorry last time

I'm not sure what that was but I liked it. Made me want to beat a Russian to death with an antler for some reason.

Terasbetoni? That's basically 'reinforced concrete', right?

Big deal. These guys are nowhere near as good as my favorite Norwegian death metal old folks home band.

From a forum elsewhere on the internet:

Taivas Lyö Tulta
The sky strikes down fire

Katseet ylös luokaa veljet, aika tullut on,
Look up brothers, forth the time is at hand
Meidän edessämme vahvinkin on voimaton.
In front of us even the most powerful is weak
Aika pysähtyy ja siirtyy vuoret paikoiltaan,
Time stops and mountains move
Me emme järky vaikka tulta satais päälle maan.
We will not shake even if fire rained down to the ground

Heikoille voi olla liikaa kutsu metallin,
The call of metal might be too much for the weak
Muttei niille joita ohjaa vaisto soturin!
But not for those who are guided by the instinct of a warrior!

Taivas lyö tulta yläpuolellamme
The sky strikes down fire above us
Kaikuu kallioilla ääni totuuden.
The voice of truth echoes across the mountains
Verivalan taika on aina suojanamme,
The magic of the blood pact is our shield
Tuo merkki metallisen veljeyden!
That sign of metallic brotherhood!

Missä liikummekin aina meidät huomataan,
Where we move we won't be unnoticed
Kunnia ja voima saavat meihin uskomaan.
Honor and strength makes people believe in us
Tulivana seuraa joukkoamme mahtavaa,
A stream of fire follows our awesome group
On luonto puolellamme tukemassa sanomaa:
Nature is with us to support our saying:

Heikoille voi olla liikaa kutsu metallin,
The call of metal might be too much for the weak
Muttei niille joita ohjaa vaisto soturin!
But not for those who are guided by the instinct of a warrior!

Taivas lyö tulta yläpuolellamme
The sky strikes down fire above us
Kaikuu kallioilla ääni totuuden.
The voice of truth echoes across the mountains

Taivas lyö tulta yläpuolellamme
The sky strikes down fire above us
Kaikuu kallioilla ääni totuuden.
The voice of truth echoes across the mountains
Verivalan taika on aina suojanamme,

Tuo merkki metallisen veljeyden!
That sign of metallic brotherhood!

I for one am always supportive of old people doing rock:

That audience is getting out of control. I'd get security down there pronto, before a pit starts.

That was bad ass.

Awesome.

It's rather like "The Silmarillion" if Tokien had been a metalhead Norse pagan.

Grasshopper, grasshopper, go away!

Approves

Ronnie James Dio is pushing 70, isn't he?
