Folk Metal aus Finnland
Ukon juhla, “The Feast for Ukko”, is a concept album based on the midsummer celebrations, which are held for the glory of Ukko, the Finnish god of sky and thunder. The songs are in chronological order, starting from the morning, going through daily activities, nightly rituals, drunken fighting, sauna, bonfire, all the way to the next morning. It was thought that the more people drink and made noise during the midsummer night, the better. That is still true today, as midsummer is one of the most important, wildest and propably the last pagan holiday left in present-day Finland. So raise a chalice with us, for Ukko, sun and midsummer!
