So one day I was walking Suomessa, ja... (Help, Finns!)

...ja I realised that I couldn't understand the language. And really, this only concerns music. I need the help of a Finn or two. >/ Surely somebody can tell me about 'Ruoska' and who they are. I know that they're a type of industrial metal, but no Wiki nor Finnish site can make me understand what kind of lyrical content they come up with.

Also! One more band. >_> To quote:

In their homeland Finland the band is variously being described as a bunch of homophobic redneck chauvinist pigs, career alcoholics or perceptive commentators on the current state of the nation, religion and human kind in general, depending on the sex, iq and state of intoxication of the person that you are asking. But since they sing in Finnish you don't have to worry about it all and can just look at all the pretty pictures.

Explaiiiiin. Since I can't understand any lyrics, I can't make verify their own descriptions. I'm also not content with looking at purdy piccies. So perhaps any Finn would care to give me examples? I can't enjoy my music until I have a gist of what they're singing about. >_>

Kiitos! ^^; *Resumes not wasting Jolt bandwidth*

What a surprise. I've drunk with some those guys few times. I know there's a band called Ruoska but I didn't know that it's "former" Natsipaska. I have never seen them live either so I didn't know that Patrik signs in it. Go Juva! :D

Is it wrong to sing about current state of the nation or humans and especially about violence? Odd. Well someone could say that they are not the most openminded when it comes to homosexuality but I think it's quite common among metalheads.
