Lyrics:

[@Dubbel12]

Kuollut, Kuolleempi, Kuollein is also a song that doesnt let go for a moment. Its just all asskicking from start to the finish.

[@TheMDbauS]

Start to the finnish*

[@kristakauppinen7598]

It's my favorite from Mokoma!!! Absolutely HC \,,/

[@smiba]

and it teaches you the basics about comparative and superlative forms in finnish language

[@Songfugel]

"Olut kiitos" the only sentence in Finnish you will ever need. It means "a beer please"

[@ricolync]

Finally!!!!! :) ...btw the band almost hates this song XD ..every metal head in Finland knows this song and it soon became almost synonymous with Mokoma's songs. It's a tad too simple for for their catalogue and many internet memes came out of this song. Takatalvi is translated "backwinter". It's a word in finnish meaning that winter comes back after it has completely gone away. It happens here like every other spring

[@rumpali]

ricolync ensinmäinen biisi mitä kuulin mokomalta ja soitin bändin kaa😂

[@onsesejoo2605]

Nah, a colder period after week of sun in the spring isn't takatalvi. ;)

[@sutku5728]

You are but not at all U must understand finnish mind

[@Duude34]

Mokoma - Nujerra Ihminen, is a must listen from them.

[@hpop4065]

Indeed!🖤🤘

[@kuristachan]

Definitely agree!

[@OlausPulaus]

Yes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXSsaKOrgtCcr6s

[@JackM.]

Finally Mokoma! This song is old, it was released in 2003 from their third album. Great song, and love this live video where Japanese people go absolutely mental. The lyrics are funny but still all-the-way-badass, 'Takatalvi' means an unexpected hellish winter when it starts snowing in spring/summertime.

[@jackmacaroni4999]

Funny that you mentioned Stam1na here, as Mokoma and Stam1na were actually some of the first entirely Finnish-singing metal bands. Mokoma was actually kicked off by a label because they wanted to do Thrash Metal in Finnish, which their label said would be stupid and nobody would want to listen to them. They formed their own record label called "Sakara Records" in 2003 and Stam1na signed a record deal with them in 2004. They also hold bands such as Teräsbetoni and Rytmihäiriö, and have been very successful, not only touring in Finland but abroad as well. Basically one of the best stories of giving someone the middle finger while winning an argument.

[@abacab54321]

I died when that Geometry bit hit- you guys are golden. Love all about your reaction videos. Keep 'em coming!

[@Ricamros]

Mokoma has a ton of great songs, and I think you'd get a kick out of Sinne Missä Aamu Sarastaa. It's really heavy, super catchy and kind of oddly beautiful. Not to mention the music video is fun af

[@mikaelpeltonen96]

Takatalvi means the return of winter, something that Finns curse sometimes in the spring when they think the long and dark winter is behind them, air is warm and sunny but then all of a sudden snow has fallen during the night, there's minus degrees, the car won't start, the roads are slippery etc. "Oh fuck, it's takatalvi!"

[@KaiMarcad]

Good description. Apparently Amercan's have something similar. I simply switched Finnish wikipedia artice to English :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackberry_winter

[@mikaelpeltonen96]

It appears there are several english expressions. Wasn't familiar with those but makes sense that other countries in the northern hemisphere have their owns.

[@MetalAtog]

A band from Finland you might know but haven't reacted to is Impaled Nazarene, it was the first finish band I've ever heard on the early 90's.

[@kuristachan]

Ah I'm so glad you reviewed my all time favourite band! I think Takatalvi is a great introducing to the band but they also have a lot more "complicated" and songs with deeper meaning. They're very diverse while keeping the thrash metal sound still going on. I'm so sad you can't understand Finnish though, Mokoma's singer Marko Annala is probably one of the greatest song writers in Finland. Many of his lyrics are inspired by his long lasting depression (for example the album Elävien Kirjoihin, which means basically back to life, is purely depression themed and how he eventually got over it) and he uses lots of great metaphoras. So if you ever learn Finnish any further, definitely pay attention to them! Maybe some translations are available in internet too. :) Oh, and they're really great live band! Seen them four times now I think.

[@Metalheim-f6d]

Takatalvi is the backwards winter, which comes in the spring and kills all the life that was just about to bloom. So, pretty metal all in all!

[@mymindisdigital]

PERKELE!

[@toniruha]

Kuollut, Kuolleempi, Kuollein must be your next reaction from Mokoma. I think it's been requested many many times before. Or their new song Kesytä Perkeleet which was released couple months ago.

[@Vainamoinen84]

Defenetly Kesytä Perkeleet!

[@laurisavonen6334]

+1 for Kesytä Perkeleet

[@kristakauppinen7598]

Kuollut, Kuolleempi, Kuollein!!! \,,/

[@andresf7760]

Please check the band POISONBLACK!! This band was created by Ville Laihiala(ex-Sentenced)in the 2000 as a parallel project to Sentenced, but after it got disbanded, Ville continued singing and playing the guitar in Poisonblack until 2015, when Poisonblack got disbanded. Poisonblack - Rush Poisonblack - Love Infernal Poisonblack - Mercury Falling

[@mikkolaine4883]

You pronounced the title right all the way 😁

[@SharksAttack]

Finally you react to Mokoma. One of my favorite bands. I have seen them live many times. 2 times this summer.

[@toni.tapola]

Yes! I finally reached the *legendary* _Takatalvi_ reaction video! I've *seen* this before, but since I've not followed the channel from the start, some time ago I decided to start watching videos all the way from the beginning. Not *all* of them - I'm not trying to get found dead in front of my PC screen! - but still, this is *#181* and I have one year's worth of videos ahead to select from (this comment written on 17 Sep 2019)! _"Saapuu taka-taka-taka-taka-taka-takatalvi_ _taka-taka-taka-taka-taka-takatalvi_ _taka-taka-taka-taka-taka-takatalvi_ _taka-taka-taka-taka-taka-takatalvi!"_

[@APREACTS]

Still one of my fav songs

[@Jiusonium]

I had to check out this video, because Mokoma shared it on their facebook page :). And once again I've watched your videos for an hour (y)

[@APREACTS]

It was so cool of them to share it!

[@SK-nw4ig]

Takatalvi means when winter is already over, and it should be warm and green, and then it suddenly blizzards lot of snow and darkness returns :P

[@Yaotzin51]

You guys really need to check out the album Kuoleman Laulukunnaat. It's way more aggressive Mokoma than earlier albums and kicks so much ass starting straight from the first song. I love older and newer albums equally but Kuoleman Laulukunnaat is a clear divider in Mokoma history.

[@fsava6324]

HOLY SHIT. That's it, I'm moving to Finland.

[@pasi172]

Mokoma - Kuu Saa Valtansa Auringolta, you should listen this one \m/

[@IdiotPosterBoy]

You got that Takatalvi exactly right! Respect.

[@martnix]

I remember seeing them live about 10 years ago in a lot smaller setting at a rock bar in Estonia!

[@ilves6664]

You must heard more Mokoma..this song is 2003.. and new Mokoma material IS really good.. Greetings from Finland 😎

[@JesterSam75]

Still...GOOSEBUMBS!

[@juhosuomi2551]

Swallow the Sun is doom metal band from Finland. Check out their song called Falling World!

[@Meemitalo_]

It's a great song and StS is one of my favorite bands. This particular song doesn't really give the right idea of the band though :D

[@hpop4065]

Finally Mokoma!😍🖤🤘🤘

[@JesterSam75]

*goosebumbs*

[@ronmackay8542]

Never heard of this band, this song sounds crazy live !

[@JesterSam75]

One of the best live bands there is!!!

[@Lumporz]

Mokoma really is the best metal band from Finland, for me. Don't get shocked how different their discography is, they got some radio rock in there, mixed with death and thrash metal, even to some black metal stuff. I would recommend song like Minä elän or Sinä riität.

[@bengagnon2894]

Oh yeah! I knew you would love them! To me Mokoma is like next level thrash metal. Some prog/death/folk thrown in the mix. One of my favourite bands along with Stam1na, and they've been for as long as I know them now. They are still putting really great albums out there. The one they made this year is incredible. Too bad I think you won't be able to react to it since they're not on the Sakara Records channel anymore. Otherwise, I higly recommend "Valkoista Kohinaa" and "Nujerra Ihminen". They're both on the Sakara Records channel. By the way, I've been mentionning this band for a long time. ;)

[@peterkarargiris4110]

Mokoma - me like ! It's always great to see the Japanese cutting loose and having a great time.

[@laitaa]

Just visit Finland. :-) I can accommodate you. :-) (in Helsinki)

[@KaiMarcad]

Kotiteollisuus? My favorite Finnish band. Some songs: Valtakunta, Virret Soi, Minä Olen, Yö Päivää Keinuttaa, Tuonelan Koivut, Kuolemajärvi, Varjonkukka and let's add Kaiken Valtias to the end.

[@gravenwolf6535]

Japanese love all kinds of metal, melodeath, power metal, anything. They have great taste in music.

[@APREACTS]

They also have a dick of a music industry that gives copyright strikes for doing videos of Japanese bands.

[@nollatoleranssi9177]

Yeah japanese like very much older rock and metal. Good thing is also that there is japenese metal bonus songs which are many times very good.

[@kristakauppinen7598]

Kuollut, Kuolleempi, Kuollein

[@holoholopainen1627]

I am kanadalainen / Olen Canadien ! Olen suomalainen ! Yksi / kaksi / kolme / one / two / three !

[@kampsu79]

Next check out Viikate from Finland :)

[@AS-zg7zr]

Mokoma has a long history with album after another of great music. For a bit different kind of Mokoma, I'd recommend even a slightly folky Kesytä perkeleet from their latest album, then there are Kasvot kohti itää and Kuollut, kuolleempi, kuollein (both one of my favourite songs they play live). They also have two acoustic albums.

When you are asking "Missä on vessa?", you can ask "Vessapaperi?" Only one word and Finns will understand what you want. And I guess you understand too what that means. :)

[@Boneyards20k]

Check out: Upon a burning body:Texas blood money Invent, animate: nocturnal Chernobyl the secret:Grotesque by nature Reign:clandestine Critical assembly:soul fukker All Texas bands 🤙🏽

[@Lerssinen]

Oh yeah and "that one band who never mentiones" is ~Widescreen mode - Everlasting bomb~ as one good song there also !! Definetly worth of checking out..

[@ARMunkki90]

Mokoma has to be my favorite band that sings in Finnish. Kesytä Perkeleet and Kepeät Mullat are probably my favorite songs from them!

[@johannes4218]

Mokoma is propably the most finnish band ever becose the singer is Santa Claus and their songs are amazing. :D

[@EsaValkama]

This was probably your best pronunciation yet! It's not quite perfect yet but literally everyone would understand you if you said that. I finally know who made this song! I heard it once like six or seven years ago and wondered who would make such a ridiculous song (The chorus is kinda ridiculous, I like it, but still XD), but I never knew who made it. I've only recently begun to listen to Mokoma and hadn't heard this song yet. I'd recommend Kesytä Perkeleet for your next Mokoma song. Also, react to Arion - Burn Your Ship (Studio Version)

[@Sotamies25]

Mokoma has tons of awesome songs and the older stuff is what gets me going: Pahaa Verta, Kiellän itseni, Hiljaisuuden julistaja or Täyttä Ymmärrystä Vailla are great songs to boost your afternoon!

[@DorimiPrism]

In Finland, everyone plays on everyone else's band :D

[@jkkvnttj]

Title is roughly translated as late winter, and it means a winter that comes after spring has already come, late May or early June. Yes, that is a thing around here.

[@Qassu78]

You mentioned Black Dahlia Murder and I love that band but I think Mokoma is much older band. And btw, if you two ever come to Finland, please contact me for a couple of beers and bbq :D

[@APREACTS]

Coming next August

[@lassi-tapaniranta904]

Mokoma Kesytä perkeleet, and HI again.

[@GhostRavenFIN]

Whispered Fear of Domination

[@ap872]

I don't know have you heard yet but 2019 Tuska will be 18 and over. There have been very low amount of under 18 visitors in Tuska past years. Last year there was under 100 kids. When festival is 18 and over they can serve alcohol everywhere and no special areas needed. I think there is not many metal festivals for all ages in Finland anymore. I don't know is there any chance to get exception to under 18 year old kids to go there. I really hope you can make it or then you two have to wait couple of years

[@APREACTS]

Yeah we know

[@lassi-tapaniranta904]

Talvi=Winter

[@sodablower]

6:21 Great laugh! 😆

[@markoitmard]

Mokoma! Btw, the best way to get into finnish mentality is seeing finnish cult movie series hero, Uuno Turhapuro, you can get a glimpse of Uuno in Mokomas Hei Hei heinäkuu video where the basist Santtu does a short speak tp beach babes. And a request, Verjnuarmu and and for example Laalavat Jouset video. They recently ended their career after passing away of one band member.

[@pernarutto]

You should try some "Impaled Nazarene" songs like "hardboiled and still hellbound" Finnish cyber sadometal

[@oxydfanmartin3807]

Hey guys! You must check "BURNING WITCHES" with Black widow - All female powermetal from Suisse - GREAT!!!!

[@poso6598]

Chewbacca actor is from finland

[@arianttila7532]

Finally! The best Finnish band ever. Kuollut, kuolleempi, kuollein or Kesytä Perkeleet from their latest album would be great as your next songs

[@Lerssinen]

Kotiteollisuus - Routa ei lopu A PERFECT SONG for you !

[@EsaValkama]

I wouldn't put that song even in their top 30 songs to be honest. Go with the classics like Minä Olen, Helvetistä Itään etc.

[@Lerssinen]

Attitude is the key, Almost first of its kind and full of energy&anger..

[@KaiMarcad]

I was wondering why nobody mentioned Kotiteollisuus. There's a lot of good tracks. I'll suggest Valtakunta, Virret Soi, Minä Olen, Yö Päivää Keinuttaa, Tuonelan Koivut, Kuolemajärvi, Varjonkukka and let's add Kaiken Valtias to the end.

[@jk-kalastus]

I love that u guys love finnish metal

[@finnsailing69]

only word that you need in finland is Perkele! (shout it out really loud and a voice that comes from depths of hell) you can use the pretty much everywhere :D just say it diffrently depending on occasion ;D

[@wilvorin1036]

Mokoma is the greatest! I think you would also enjoy the music video for the song "Hei hei heinäkuu"(bye bye july).

[@jarkkopekkasorri2541]

TAKATAKATAKATAKATAKATAKATA TALAVI!!!!!!!!!!

[@nollatoleranssi9177]

Finnish metal bands make tours with other finnish metal bands in Japan. Also japanese like finnish staff than moomins. In Japan is also finnish food restaurants which offer traditional finnish food. Mostly biggest reason why many japanese come to Finland is that they want see aurora borealis.

[@nollatoleranssi9177]

And if you Come to Finland you should eat Karelian pie with egg butter.

[@themaster1670]

That's actually a good point: you can't fart in Finland without a band or a band member being around. It's actually a real thing that there isn't a family in Finland that doesn't have a musician in it. For example I have 5 siblings, our parents both play the guitar, 2 of my siblings play the guitar, I play guitar and bass, my brother plays bass and many folk instruments. So out of a family of 8 people, 7 have practised music. And that's completely normal in Finland. By the way, you should check out an app called "Duolingo" if you really want to get some basic Finnish skills before Tuska 2019. It's completely free, you can learn pretty much any language, you can set it up so that you can do like a 5-minute word exercise every day, and the app will notify you every day about that. I personally use it just so I don't forget Swedish and German, because I spent years studying those languages.

[@Iaaso]

you guys are very finnish -like. could be easily two finns talking english :) subbed.

[@APREACTS]

Best compliment ever.

[@TheTheMonkey93]

This was very good song to start of with Mokoma. You should check other songs from them. "Sydänjuuret" maybe next ?

[@Exiletheheretic]

The unknown Finnish band to totally blow you away is called... Eternal Tears of Sorrow. From the old songs I would recommend Fall of man, Prophetian or Aurora Borealis. From newer ones I would go with Sinister rain, Another me or Diary of demonic dreams. They have made 7 full albums with zero bad songs so there is lot to choose from =)

[@APREACTS]

ETOS coming tomorrow

[@Exiletheheretic]

Holy shits. That's great =) Time to hit subscribe button =D

[@nakkieki]

Check out a song called Sydänjuuret by Mokoma. It's been looping in my head non-stop for the past week or so.

[@kimlonnqvist4145]

🤘

[@marwa2902]

Sydänjuuret is amazing mokoma song

[@cguerrilla7315]

Yeah! You did Takatakatakatakatakatakataaalvi! I don't know why this song makes me feel good, but it does. The lyrics are a Big part of Mokoma, Marko (the singer and lyricist) is an intelligent guy. So if you react to another Mokoma song in the future, you could try to find the translated lyrics too, it may be easier to understand the video/music.

[@OlausPulaus]

This was their stage presence eleven years ago: seek for Mokoma MAX-Stage 12.10.07 Part 2

[@junnukiviniemi1925]

As a devoted Mokoma fan I'd suggest you check out one or more of these songs: Valapatto Punainen kukko Pohja on nähty Ihmisenpyörä Tulkki Pahaa verta Ammu, hautaa ja vaikene Kiellän itseni Nimensä unohtaneen rukous

[@finnsailing69]

Mokoma rules, think mokoma has a strong korn wibe in their appereance and the way they sing

[@Piia2023]

Oh yes...that was just spot on Finnish 😁 there is a saying that half of the Finnish people play in heavy metal bands the other half are fans 😁 he didn't say much else than the word Takatalvi, which means the late winter, when finally the snow has melted in the spring and then there is snow again..and it's kind of makes you sad...mokoma means kind of "oh well.." if you can translate it...😁

[@Doppeldropper]

Of course the other half of the Finns are metal fans, we can't all play at the same time... or can we 🤔?😁

[@Piia2023]

Doppeldropper no...the other half play , and the others are fans and vice versa...🤘

[@Sm1rre1]

Mokoma has their own record label called Sakara records. Stam1na has signed in to it as have many really good Finnish bands done. You could do a review on one their bands called Diablo. I would recommend for you songs like "the preacher" or "icaros", but the forst doesn't have a video and the other has a crappy quality one. Either way, the music kicks ass.

[@MrT1o9P9i2]

Mokoma at last!

[@johnpitt9749]

There are a lot of metal bands from Finland, alright. And a recent UN report suggests that Finland is the happiest country in the world. Coincidence? I think not!

[@petertapola8097]

For more Finnish heavy metal, try Heavy Metal Perse: Vainolaista vastaan, it will blow your socks off!

[@cephithus]

Himsa- Big Timber

[@Erakko-]

You should do a reaction for Kaunis Kuolematon - En Ole Mitään AND Tuhottu Elämä! ;)

[@siiselit1]

Hey guys! Another amazing reaction video from you two. I live in finland and it shames me to admit that i found BloodRed HourGlass from your reactions and that band is f**king amazing!!! If you want to hear another good song from Mokoma Check out "mokoma: punainen kukko" I know that you love amorphis but have you done reaction about their song house of sleep? If you haven't you should do it. That song blew my mind when it came out. Also now that i am on the roll i have more suggestions for you :-) Have you ever checked out band called Orange Goblin? If not you really should check their song "red tide rising" And Motorjesus:fuel the warmachine" Both OG and motorjesus are more stoner the "actually metal" but check those out they are amazing!!!

[@acdele]

The way how words are pronounced are similar between japanese and finnish. That explains a little bit why Finnish metal bands are popular in Japan.

[@kimmorintamaki4422]

Not for reaction video probably. But band called eläkeläiset is big thing at Germany 😀

[@rollingmetal949]

Takatalvi (when it starts to snow in the summer)

[@jampula6352]

Here is a sentence for you to order a meal: 'Lihapiirakka makkaraperunoilla ja kaikilla mausteilla' kiitos, and maybe perkele to make it more traditional finnish

[@Juhnimus]

I think you should do Sentenced, sadly they don't exist no more but they were spearhead of Finnish metal back in the day.

[@APREACTS]

We did one of their songs last week

[@anders7252]

Dudes!!! Do Ember Falls - shut down with me!!! I guarantee you are gonna love it !!!

[@MrSamsonait]

This was the first song i ever heard from Mokoma, and i became fans instantly. But i have to say this song sounds better now, when the band has aged. Please do more Mokoma songs for example Sinne missä aamu sarastaa or Hiljaisuuden julistaja. Also you have done Stam1na before on this channel so give their new song Enkelinmurskain a go.

[@APREACTS]

Their new song is copyright blocked by the label otherwise we would have done it already.

[@toivokesseli8407]

This song is pretty simple, one of their first songs. Nowadays their music has the same energy, but it's a bit more complex, especially considering lyrics.

[@APREACTS]

This proves that it doesn’t have to complex to be good!

[@ortti8397]

Nujerra Ihminen is a bad ass song from Mokoma.. Check that out
