"Unofficial fanpage!"
Viikate hail from mighty Finland, where they have been defining their dark folk-melody infused metal since 1998, with the release of Vaiennut Soitto. They have proven to be an extremely prolific band, having released thus so far twelve albums, including two compilations, five 7" eps, and ten singles. Their lyrics often describe long cold winters, death, hunger and frost. Kaarle Viikate has succeeded in creating his own style of Finnish folk-metal, unique in a genre of its own.
Here's a review I think describes their music well:
--"In the world of Viikate, music is listened to with an ancient gramophone in a log cabin, drinking hard liquor and contemplating cooking a soup of poisonous mushroons for the whole family after the crops fail and the only cow dies..." --a review from encyclopaedia metallum.
Tervehdys virallinen! Onnittelut hienosta saunan keikasta. mahtavaa kun teillä on aina niin hyväntuulinen ja oma meininki yllä! Oli ilo katsella. Oliko muuten teillä raakoja banaaneja saunassa? Banaanista ei pitäis kuulua "rousk"
