I’m taking a break from good old nature – to a degree – today. I’ve found a song that grabs you and says “listen to me” in a way only our Finnish cousins can. I would argue that no-one does good old metal like them, and this is no exception. It’s even in Finnish which even I find a little incomprehensible. And why have I picked this today? Well, it’s the birthday of lead singer Jarkko Ahola – he of the powerful voice. And why the picture? Teräsbetoni means steel concrete. Jarkko is 38 today.
Hyvää syntymäpäivää, Jarkko!
