Mokoma - Kepeät mullat (Metalhead Reaction to Metal)

Part 2 in the metal series! RDO (left) and Grimby (right), a couple of Canadian metalhead dudes giving a friendly review to a metal song. Hip hop fans worry not, we still have more in store for you.

[@MokomaOfficial]

Thanks for the review, great stuff! Here's the official translation of the lyrics for you: A HANDFUL OF LIGHT EARTH deep into your arms I lay you dear children I will sing you one last lullaby and throw a handful of light earth upon you deep into your arms I lay you dear children I will sing you one last lullaby and throw a handful of light earth upon you go in peace go in peace I will throw a handful of light earth upon you light earth upon you got to get away from here into some better place to a place where the worm won’t gnaw where the cold won’t bite away from all of those who scoff far from those who put you down away from those who waste their lives far from those who know a truth go in peace away from here into a place where nobody owns anyone where no one knows of borders where power means nothing away from those who spoil the air far from disingenous talk away from the crowns of creation far from organs hanging loose deep into your arms I lay you dear children I will sing you one last lullaby and throw a handful of light earth upon you deep into your arms I lay you dear children I will sing you one last lullaby and throw a handful of light earth upon you go in peace go in peace I will throw a handful of light earth upon you light earth upon you

TORILLE!!!!!

[@ricolync]

Suomi mainittu!

[@marlosmastro3840]

Kiitos for the review. FINLAND PERKELE!!!

[@MrVepe47]

I think what makes Mokoma special is that when most thrash bands focus more on the guitars and the riffs, Mokoma is more vocal and lyric oriented.

[@parlamedia]

One of the few bands of whos lyrics people actually know

[@nicholasromig5506]

if you had played me this without telling me where it was from, I would have guessed Finland. so much Finnish metal has that strong sense of melody and...almost folk aspect to its sound. even non folk metal...Finnish riffs have their own natural flavour to them.

[@FinneousPJ1]

The Finnish language is a hint as well...

[@timmokoo5679]

Yea, some finnish metal bands (like Mokoma) have a certain kind of vibe and certain kind of melancholic melodies that used to be kind of common in the old finnish... kind of pop/easy listening music. It's nostalgic in a way.

[@Cesiumswimsuit]

Unique track, the chorus instantly gets into your head and definitely makes you want to hear more. Thanks for sharing

[@tuukkakukkonen9065]

This is the radio song for this album. You should really check out the rest of the album. Edit: And yes, in Finland we hear this on the radio. That's how metal we are.

[@MetalbyteMedia]

[@erkkinho]

On you (plural) not thee (singular)

[@3V1LKNIGHT]

Yes!! Thank you guys so much, you did exactly what I was hoping you'd do (encourage us hiphop listeners to listen to metal.) You said predicted what I like most about metal, the shifts from melodic to hardcore and back. It did sound like thrash, metallica type but then it turned into like bloodbath/mastodon crossover with some torture killer lol, I like it. sometimes it has to do with where the bands are from, as far as influence goes, but the good thing about metal is that no matter where they draw their inspirations from they still sound unique, like some guitarists are classically trained and thats why the solos can sound like slash (not all bands) You brought up another good point regarding lyrics. sometimes they mean something, sometimes you can't hear anything but the way I listen to metal is by just feeling the music, same as hiphop. Thank you guys for the video!

[@Ironmanpwnz]

RDO is so much more active on this metal reaction. It’s kind of cool to see his love and passion for metal come out. Also this song bangs im about to blast this in the car lol

[@DarthGrimby]

You're spot on. I was less enthusiastic going in and even more so as I didn't overly enjoy the song until the end.

[@gregorypcampbell]

I'm a life long hip-hop fan (40yr old). I wasn't really into much rock until late 20's to early 30's. I love watching your reactions to rap and hip-hop, but I've also recently started branching out to more metal bands. I like listening to them while working out, so I'm definitely looking forward to hearing you guys break down and react to some metal too. Cuz i have clue what to listen for when it comes to these sub genre's of metal. Love your channels guys! Just start putting out more vids please if possible

[@castrejon321]

Grimby my duuuuude!!!! And RDO, that's a cold shirt bro!!! I'm loving the mix of HipHop and these intros to metal! Do something from Com'on, preferably "I Used To Love Her" Rock on dudes 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@albertg7297]

Haha 2:36 the blonde haired one is not impressed. Never listened to much metal before, besides slipknot when i was in highschool. Maybe the genre will grow on me. Thanks for the content my friends. hopefully hiphop reactions will still be done, along with these intros to metal.

[@jugipesonen]

Mokoma are awesome! One of my favorite bands for sure. I would actually put them in a similar category as Lamb of God. The lyrics are really beautiful if you can understand Finnish.

[@hiadrianbankhead]

from a hip hop subscriber - I really like this! Even more than some of the hip hop that you played! Although I'm of course as lost in thrash as you were in your rap reviews lol. Its great to mix music up.

[@hiadrianbankhead]

Rap is all about its lyrical dexterity and its swagger, whereas doom metal is all about this aural wall of sound and technical mastery of instruments. Its just two completely different types of music that i would listen to for different reasons and while in different moods.

[@markussalmia3872]

Cool reaction guys! Stam1na is another band that sings in finnish and they’re even more accessible and better imo you should check them out

[@pvt.prinny759]

Markus Salmia nah their latest album kinda suck

[@RedEbSeb13]

I love Stam1na with all my heart but Mokoma has been putting out better songs lately.

[@FinneousPJ1]

Yea stam1na would be a good reaction

[@timmokoo5679]

Would like to see a Stam1na reaction too.

[@ricolync]

Wifey bought the album today. She was disappoint. Too pop maybe... We actually heard this song last year at a gig. It was the first time Mokoma performed it live. We're Mokoma fans since 2011 and go at their gigs at least 4 to 6 times a year. Seeing them in two weeks at South Park festival. They're performing between Accept and Helloween! ...in Mokoma songs the lyrics are almost more important than the song. Marko Annala noted as one of the great rock lyricists..

[@MetalbyteMedia]

ricolync Damn! I will get it anyways. Cool to hear you are a fan too.

[@h00lmberg]

Wow, I'm surprised she didn't like it. I thought it was such a strong album. One of the best ones. Mokoma is a funny band in a lot of ways. They didn't start out too heavy, but got heavier over time, then started progressing more and more and experimenting. The sound they have achieved is in my opinion one of the most recognized Metal corner stones in Finnish metal.. The last album had such a variety of different elements that it might not appeal to someone looking for more of a.. Traditional approach. I really liked it, but it's of course not everyone's peace of pie. Sometimes it does take a few listens though to really get the songs broken down ;)

[@h00lmberg]

It's so nice to see someone abroad to appreciate Mokoma. The fact that Marko only sings in Finnish is bittersweet. The music really works in Finnish, and he is such a wordsmith with our native language. I almost already consider him a living legend. His voice is so unique too. But the fact that you can't understand what he is saying is such a shame. But trust me, the lyrics he writes gives such layering and meaning to the songs. Fortunately the guys write such good music that the mere instrumentals are gold. I really recommend the latest album, such a nice ride. Thanks for the great videos guys, and I will hope fore some more Mokoma reactions ;)

[@account4890]

greetings from Finland

[@MacanWigit]

Since you guys are doing metal as well, may I request some Kvelertak? I know they haven't make anything new in a minute, but hey--

[@3V1LKNIGHT]

Yes! it's a good way to bring new people to metal for sure. idk if it's a bit like hardcore punk too

[@MetalbyteMedia]

I do dig them dude.

[@Cesiumswimsuit]

I guess I have to ask as they were Canadian bands, ever listen to Cursed or Mare?

[@gekkifeguef]

Oddisee - belong to the world/ own appeal Aesop rock - klutz Atmosphere - Became

[@ShutterIsland-gj1ko]

Please react to some Denzel Curry!!!

[@apollon1917]

Shutter Island 1893 no they only react to old hip hop that nobody wants to see them react to

[@UksiHattu12]

Sean Sully didn't they listen to maad city by Kendrick Lamar? Atleast that's how i found this channel

[@apollon1917]

UksiHattu12 yeah they definitely did but recently they've only been reacting to old hip hop

[@jipsumies3435]

Fuck yeah🇫🇮

[@RÅNÇIÐ]

Melodic Groove Metal

[@U.P.up.]

Great video! Have you listened to Children of Bodom? It's also Finnish, melodic metal band. I'd strongly recommend some of their older stuff, for example a song called Towards Dead End. React to that shit!

[@DarthGrimby]

I own Hatebreeder, Follow the Reaper, Hate Crew Deathroll, the covers album, and Relentless Reckless Forever (I gave up after that one). Great band in the day, but none of their newer stuff has really motivated me to buy their albums. Am I missing anything essential since RRF?

[@U.P.up.]

No idea dude, I only listen to the first four albums and kinda consider it another band alltogether after 'Are You Dead Yet?'. Fucking love their early shit. But who knows, there might be some good stuff on their newer albums too.

[@DemBombaclot]

I highly recommend giving the full album (Hengen pitimet) a chance. This is the radio song and isn't the best part of the album in my opinion. It get's a bit trashier.

[@hiadrianbankhead]

Does anyone know if there is a hip hop channel that reviews metal? Like the mirror version of these guys?

[@FinneousPJ1]

Many. They even mentioned lost in vegas

[@mattymcfattydoe6375]

4:49 RDO going into the zone! I'd love to see you guys react to: Blood Sandwich by Aesop Rock. A great rap song featuring a particular industrial metal act as part of the theme.

[@lordlyricist57]

You guys have to check out "the most dangerous weapon alive" by Ill Bill

[@joaquingonzalez5095]

3:50 what i like about metal

[@toolopiatelateralful]

Check out The Odious and Amogh Symphony. Anyone reading this. Youll not be sorry. Trust.

[@nickk2508]

My Hip Hop suggestions: Fight the Power by Public Enemy Set it off, Raw, It's Hard being the Kane, or The Wrath of Kane (Live at the Apollo) by Big Daddy Kane Follow the Leader, Let the Rhythm Hit 'em, or Microphone Fiend by Eric B and Rakim My Philosophy by Boogie Down Productions As a fan of Hip Hop, it's interesting to me that lyrics aren't important to metal-heads. Do you know sing along to your favourite songs or do you just sing along without thinking about what you are singing? As a side note: I think that most of the people here are requesting songs from the most popular era of Hip Hop. It would be nice to see something from the pre-'gangsta-rap' era when there was more fun to Hip Hop, but at the same time, a social consciousness. N.W.A. exploded the 'gangsta-rap' era with "Straight Outta Compton" and "F-ck the Police". Those would be good songs to react to but it would be nice to see some more stuff from the era when Hip Hop was untouched by commercialism. I love and appreciate that you guys went back and took a listen to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five!!!!!:) Another great video:)

[@dswaggda]

Rakim-the Mystery

[@ezioassassain]

You guys should react to Lord Infamous - Anyone Out There i think this song is a good introduction to the horrorcore side of rap and this type of genre has a lot of references to the devil and just a whole bunch of evil shit which u guys might be interested in. Cheers

[@miconis123]

Growling in a language other than English. That sums up my impression

[@internbrandcontact7497]

Okay so (in regard to hip hop) now that you guys have had quite a taste adventure in Hip Hop with your reaction videos, its time to show you something REAL flavorful. Please react to BIG L - Put it on. Thanks

[@korohmnel]

[@dextrouzpsn9012]

react to 4th Chamber by GZA

[@ashleyn4265]

Next please listen to 2pac "Hit em up" it will definitely show you a completely different part of his style of rap. Dear mama was a great song but its not actually his usual rap delivery.

[@Kaiverze]

Please react to Parkway Drive, great metalcore band!!

[@TheMatixx95]

Good video guys react to Bones - RestInPeace

[@kaurikopperoinen7099]

Suomi PERKELE!!!!!!

[@joelschuler1028]

You should hear some hiphop that isnt about gangs and violence (not that they aren't good songs) so Kid Cudi "pursuit of happiness" and "day n nite" are good songs and Atmosphere has songs like "sunshine" literally about a bike ride

[@1testtube24]

rammstein-Amerika?

[@Dyuwi-yb8ni]

Please do a reaction video -- Slapshock - turn back time they are so Underrated

[@Switch0079]

Do a video on nirvana that would be nice

[@natew1427]

Do reactions to the Drake vs Pusha T beef that's currently going on. The first song was released on May 25, the latest song was released yesterday (do in order I put it for it to make sense) 1. Pusha T - Infared 2. Drake - Duppy 3. Pusha T - The story of Adidon

[@waldemartti]

React to HIM - Right Here In My Arms and other song Join me (in death)

[@jabrane1564]

Kanye West - runaway (explicit / dirty version )

[@rodrigolucas691]

Please react to necro-keepin it real, especially since you guys are death metal fans you wont be disappointed at all

[@antarai9869]

This is totally wrong way to introduce Mokoma.. Please do reaction takatalvi (live Japan)

[@samialchafi8702]

Please react to GZA - 4TH CHAMBER!!

[@oJAYarista]

50 cent ft. Eminem - Patiently Waiting

[@Xineohp37]

This sounds absolutely nothing like thrash to me i dunno what i'm missing here. Thrash to me is S.O.D, D.R.I, Kreator, etc., etc.. Which current bands like Power Trip, Iron Reagan and Municipal Waste are flying that flag at the moment

[@tubelious]

Xineohp37 yea, obviously this song isn’t the thrashy Mokoma. They also have one full album of acoustic songs. Still, they are thrash. Check out the song ”Minä Elän!” (I Live!) They have also covered in Finnish Death`s Open Casket ( =avoin hauta)

[@sethgerwitz]

React on Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. Album or swimming pools by Kendrick

[@karloz2722]

Sounded too metalcore for me, and the clean vocals reminded me of In Flames and the like a little too much... React to the new Alkaloid!

[@KolliOde]

Maybe but its far from metalcore, maybe the screams or the 'breakdown' things in guitar but the lyrics are far far

[@aredobleyoum1562]

clean production in metal is gross

[@DarthGrimby]

Please explain why you feel that way.

[@FornusSomeFornit]

This is a very odd generalization to make

[@RAMENn00dleb0y]

metal is like punk: raw and lofi and aggressive at its best. very few exceptions. clean production kills this.

[@illler362]

Please react to 6ix9ine
