Korpiklaani - Päät Pois Tai Hirteen (from new album "Ukon Wacka" 2011)

Päät Pois Tai Hirteen. Translates into English as "Heads Off or The Gallows". This is one of my favorite songs off of the forthcoming album "Ukon Wacka". It's already out in Europe, but isn't released here in America until February 25th. So, I thought I'd share this song with some of my concert photos from the band playing in Tempe last year in January. These are the first concert pics I ever took with my new Droid phone, so they're kinda good/kinda bad, LOL. I met the band afterwards and they were super nice (no heavy drinking that night though. See the pictures at the end here of my Limited Edition Drinking Sets I got signed. They also said they were going to go straight to work on writing a new album after the tour, and here it is! The band has consistently come out with an album every year since 2005. This is their 6th. Here's a description of Ukon Wacka from the band themselves -

""Ukon Wacka, or Ukon Vakat, is a pagan sacrificial feast from ancient times, on which a special made beer richly flowed. As can be expected from the title, this album has an ancient and very folky feel and is totally in Finnish. To make the lyrics understandable for non-Finnish people, we will add an English description/translation in the booklet as usual. The album consists of 10 songs, among which you will find a song name 'Tequila', which is especially written for (and inspired by) our South American fans, with whom we celebrated such hard times, and who welcomed us so warmly, when we were touring in South America. Another surprise is the title song, 'Ukon Wacka', in which a special guest features: the famous Finnish singer Tuomari Nurmio! Last but not least features a tribute song ('Päät Pois Tai Hirteen') to the Finnish rock band PEER GÜNT, a great and underestimated band. We hope and expect that this album will give you as much joy as we had making it; a big folky feast for all!"

@strabrykiwi Ei Kun, just searched it myself, apparently it means something along the lines of "Now then" basically signifies something may happen Now, as opposed to later.

Hope it helps.
