Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 27: Riikka & Toni Hatakka of Hanging Garden (Finland)
Manage episode 334603610 series 2912897
In this episode, we talk to husband and wife vocal duo, Riikka and Toni Hatakka of Finnish genre-defying band whose music has been variably categorized as melodic doom metal, progressive gothic post-doom metal, and even just depressive metal. Through our discussion, Riikka and Toni unpack the unexpected difficulties of writing metal lyrics in their native tongue, and the freedoms afforded to lyricists working in their second language (in this case, English). The two further explain that their lyrics, whether Finnish or English medium, frequently engage with universal themes of nature, earth and mankind's decay, and thus serve as a kind of therapy for the singers and their listeners who are currently experiencing these crises.
