Laskiaispulla/Semla is a nodic delicacy with cream, jam or (traditionally) almond paste inside. It is delicious and you always eat too many.
(English translation below):
Kävipä taas kerran sillä lailla
Että tuota niin
Laskiainen saapui
Tuoden pullat markettiin
Mutta kunnon pullat kerron teille
Itse paistetaan
Pelti toisen perään uuniin
Ja kohta maistetaan
Naaman suttaan kermaan
Manteliin ja mansikkaan
Pullan toisen perään ahdan
Kohta yrjön aika koittaa taas

LASKIAISPULLA
Kun ilta koittaa
On meno sakiaa
Vatsaa turvottaa
Koittaa pullaDARRA
Olettekos kuulleet,
Tarinaa kerrotaan
Ruotsin kuninkaasta
Joka meni pullaan kuolemaan
On herkullinen surma
Joka tappoi kuninkaan
Sen ääntä kohden survon
Ja uhmaan kuolemaa

It once happened that actually oh well
Lent arrived bestowing the buns upon us
But the proper bun, I tell you
Is baked by oneself
Yes, baked by the myriad
And soon we indulge
I am bathed in cream
Almond and strawberry
Bun after bun I devour
And soon the time of George is upon us once again

When the dusk descends
And insanity wells up within
Our insides about to burst
This is bun HANGOVER
Have you heard
It has been said
That once a king of Sweden
Was by a bun killed
Oh such a delight
This delicious tool of regicide
I will indulge upon it
Defying the shadow of death

Tasty metal in every kind. I'm torn in between being hungry and headbanging. This rocks so hard, the folky instrument are just on point. You made my day. Do you have a good English receipe for these?!

Nyt kyllä lyriikkapuoli on ihan puhdasta juhlaa! Biisirakenne on sikäli passeli, että siellä on se pulla ja välissä herkut. Ja sikäli oikein, että enemmän kuin yksi täyte.

No on muuten just näin. Pulladarra! Ja hitto että tykkään tosta melodiasta. Sanojen lisäksi siis. Toteutuskin on aika muikee.

I love this in so many ways. The juxtaposition of the subject with the treatment is so good. And I adore semlor! Wish I had one now.

Dude you have a really original and gifted combination of hilarious and serious! (Also playing to my love of food and drink) The lyrics are so witty and funny and the music is so well written, executed, and produced. Everything is so crisp and clear, which I know is difficult to achieve with heavy instrumentation. The folk instruments really play well off of the metal. Best growly Satan voice I've heard! Is there an effect used for that? Or is it just pure shredded larynx? I'd like to know more about your studio set up. You produce some really well mastered product!
