I don't see any painted faces...

Oh yeah, you mean folk music.

Oh right, there's this one too.



But not all Sentenced songs are about suicide, some are also about death.

IMO - the most beautiful song ever created

A really beautiful composition, but one question: is this a wedding reception or are you just sitting around listening to a piano solo?

Sentenced has a broad variety of lyrical themes. Death, suicide, sorrow, mourning, sadness, loneliness, loss, and more death. All traditional Finnish folk music themes.

You'd hate my Spotify playlist...

Setting aside the little bit I was doing, their discography is certainly one to stem from a very traditionally "Finnish" mindscape. Might be the most Finnish music out there.

I just thought ya'll needed a taste of what actual music being played sounds like vs. computerized voices & mix tables

Those long winter nights, man. That's got to lead to some bleakness of mind eventually.

I've noticed that is a pretty common theme in Finnish metal. Insomnium is pretty similar in their lyrics, as probably the most high-profile Finnish metal band in the world right now.

Not saying folk metal is good, but a lot of folk sounds aren't actually that bad. They're actually quite melodic and some bands do a brilliant job bringing in the atmosphere if you can handle the vocalist, but they have softer songs too.

 

[Foppberg]

You all have horrible taste and should feel bad.

Your Spotify list sounds awful.

This is the best response to metal I've ever seen. Genuinely still sRacial Sluring at it even as I type this. Fantastic stuff.

For the avoidance of doubt I'd just like to say that I said this:

Solid effort from the filter, there

Ohhhhhh. Well, I mean, snicker.

 

[Ceremony]

Ohhhhhh. Well, I mean, snicker.

I'm not American, so I have never said snicker in my life.

They have SRacial Slurs chocolate bars in the UK.

For some reason, I could never get into folk metal, despite not being at all allergic to cheese in my metal. I've given it a bunch of chances, but it never has agreed with me despite being on paper something I should probably enjoy.

Music has always been a "I either get it or I don't" kind of experience. Some stuff just doesn't click with me even if it has all the elements of something I should enjoy. Epica has always been a band like that, where I can see how objectively Simone has an amazing singing voice and I love a ton of bands that are heavily inspired by them, but I've never been able to feel much of anything listening to them.

Called Snickers, not Snicker. They're also disgusting.

 

[UncleRisto]

Yeah, I know but they're called SRacial Slurs on the island. And wrong AGAIN! At least try to be right sometimes!

Nuts and chocolate don't mix.

 

[UncleRisto]

Nuts and chocolate don't mix.

Well, that's the wrong opinion, but at least it makes sense.

 

[5280]

Cadbury Fruit and Nut FTW!

 

[Papa Francouz]

Nuts and chocolate don't mix.

Nuts in baked goods are somehow even worse.

 

[Bonzai12]

you guys sure do love nuts

You bet!
