Although I'm not sure how they work their electric guitars without electricity. Perhaps witchcraft, or something cool along those lines.
Magic and the wailing spirits of the soulless. I've listened to Korpiklaani once or twice (not my first choice even back then, but what teenage boy wouldn't try to change for a pretty girl?) but I dislike the "singing" in that kind of music. Also, I rarely listen to songs for their lyrics with only a few notable exceptions. Also, since I already know my Kalevala, I'd be more interested in listening to lyrics based on Arthur and Camelot or Japanese mythology
