Oh, and if someone is interested, after the first album (Spirit of the forest) the violin has also been downtuned to F-C-G-D, but I've recently tuned it back to normal tuning because it made no sense when you have guitars dropped to D which is the most common key in folk songs. Most of the songs are actually easier to play with normal tuning, and the sound is better.

You're wrong. The shouts don't disturb but boobs do. Ladies, want to make me make a mistake on stage? Just show me your boobs. On a serious note, boobs are really way more distracting than any shouts. And we play better when there's only ugly men with moustaches in the audience. Then we can concentrate on playing. Persons shouting for "Beer Beer" are probably the same guys that are shouting "Paranoid" at Sabbath shows. Freebird!!!

A metallica song of your choosing preferably Harvester of sorrow. Hmm... maybe we'll leave that one to Eläkeläiset. Would end up sounding just like them anyway.. ;D ;D The paranoid thing was just randomness, we have never actually rehearsed it.

Cane also has a family but he's not married. i want to ask Jonne if is here registered Juho:-)Well,is possible to know something more about him?.-)because when i saw some videos on internet,he is quite diffrent from others:-)and i would like to know more about him:-)thanks for answer That's most likely because he doesn't drink. i just release that in the song Syntykoski Syommehessain there is a melody that can be heard too in the fintroll`s song Adhissla but , it was intentional? haha Hardly. But the Aldhissla melody might actually be made by Jonne, so no wonder.

your mithology is contemporary of the "viking" one? No, it isn't. a) The knowledge about finnish folk faith was mostly collected in the 19th century. The knowledge about the viking faith is from at least 600 years older period; there's written sagas and even some ancient ritual descriptions. b) The mythology that we know as the viking mythology is about the cult of the high and the mighty, of a warrior culture, not about a cult of peasants and hunters like the finnish mythology.

This would make some good lyrical concepts, but it reminds me of one annoying person named Tapio. ;D Kaleva - a giant brave, who once was a great king and whose name after was the land called (Kalevala). Sometimes mentioned as the father of Väinämöinen. Those old folk poems are a bit messy.

You filthy pirate! you dont need to wait to go to the moon, you're already in the sky, you're on the clouds most of the time!

ANyway, someday I'll go there, but it must be on summer. You'd still froze to death with your 47C..

Hmm, maybe it's no use to discuss something as broad as ancient paganism when it includes everything from the militaristic Spartans to some peace loving jolly countryside folks and from the bloodthirsty war gods to the gods of turnip cultivation. But I still think that throughout the history there's always been people who have thought other races/cultures/people as inferior.

but, yeah, people were always scared of the unknown, still racism is a more "recent" thing (medieval-christian/judean) How it is more recent? People have always hated each other. ;D So far as I know, unlike judaism christianity isn't even racistic ("All people are equal in front of God"). But my actual point was that people shouldn't make ideal fantasies about the essence of paganism, or anything else. I mean, like saying that "the vikings just defended theirselves from the evil christians". ;D ;D I bet we are ten times more tolerant now than an average ancient pagan was.

their "helvetic" language shouldn't be taken too seriously, i bet the helvetic tribes wouldn't understand one bit of what they're singing... Yeah, I'm always a bit suspicious about those kind of "reconstructions". ;D But at least they have an unique language to sing with. (actually real pagans can't be fascist or racist or whatever, that's for scared, dogmatic religions) Racism as a phenomenon is as old as different races, which makes it almost as old as paganism. And people have always been scared and dogmatic.
