Now that I have your attention, I thought I would toss this out as an example of non-metal hair raising music. This is some dark and ominous music from Finland, Tom Nyman of Laika & the Cosmonauts used to be in this band. At 3:20 when she starts cursing the snakes it gets pretty scary:

Is there a translation? My first reaction is they must be auditioning for the roles of the witches in the musical version of Macbeth. If there isn't one, there should be. Otherwise, I have a collection of feminist distopias that this would fit right in with.

How do you find this kind of stuff? Very ... interesting, but I wouldn't put it on to improve my mood.

Those chicks are weird, but somehow still hot. What a strange erection.

Äijö
There was a cranky old coot lived in the village, bowlegged
and weak in the head. One night he was out in the pines;
crowing and screeching, carrying firebrands that scorched
his palms; alone in the night, exhausted.

Now on that chilly hillside he kept snakes, one at the top
and two lower down. And then he was bitten in the palm,
a stinging wound, a load of venom.

Alone in the night he trudged along, lurking by the porch
waiting for the snake to appear, wanting to put that wily
devil’s head on the block, to take an axe to its slithery neck.

The old man was weary, he’d already had more than many
a stronger man could have taken.

To heal the snakebite he washed it with liquor, poured proof spirit
over it, took some resinous wood and made the sauna steaming hot,
went round the garden reading charms and incantations.

And there was much speculation about his doings: all that trudging
and stumbling, the crookback snakes and their strange antics,
that cranky old coot wheezing and crowing alone in the night.

Christ, that is so metal. It's no wonder at all why there are more metal bands in Finland per 100,000 people than anywhere else in the world.

Nothing better than a mystery boner!
Finns are indeed a strange bunch and very metal.

I didn´t know this particular track but know the band as they are sometimes played on a German radio show dedicated to world music in the widest sense of the word, called Pops tönende Wunderwelt.
Quite nice actually, strange music in the first hour, strange and wondrous stories in the second hour.
