Absolutely, Finno-Ugrian witches. Now one can imagine how it must have been back then when the first Indo-Europeans encountered Finno-Ugric foragers in the deep forests of Eastern Europe. Fearsome but beautiful :-)

Wow! Is this GIRLPOWER or what! Spice girls and Britneys and such whatever you can wash down the toilet!

I almost s***t into my pants hearing that curse:-)

I've seen this at least 40 times check it out with earphones. Love it! (and Varttina)

Notice one of them singing low, like a frog, toward the end. Love the snake-witch.

When I first discovered this, I had a Finnish girlfriend. She was utterly unimpressed that I liked it, particularly the "spell" part. She said that if I wanted her to talk dirty she could. LOL

@ralphyboy25 (you are funny....)

[ralphyboy25]

@KYTD Understood :-) Your comment just gave me an excuse to ramble on about why I like this song so much.

So if you haven't listened to much black metal - then you are not missing much IMHO.

[KYTD]

@ralphyboy25 I mean I've clearly, definitely never listened to black metal before, to be able to draw that comparison, and there's no way I was just making a joke.

[ralphyboy25]

@KYTD Yes it definitely does have some similarities to black metal, but there are a few notable exceptions.

For one, the variety of interesting instruments used, and the skills use to play them, is a bit more profound than the driving distorted electric guitar so typical of black metal.

Additionally, the colorful vocals and their harmonization provides for a more developed sound that the usual angry growling singing on black metal songs.

[KYTD]

This song is black metal as fuck.

[laelamarie1]

Frankly, I love this songs....I'm taking the commentary as joking,,,or are there those that susceptible still???
