Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
Ladies, gentlemen and whatever is your preferred gender here it is the Finnish Halloween playlist by Chaoszine. Our second playlist after we made it the American, i hope you enjoyed or you’ll like it. This is a Halloween playlist about the titles of the songs. And maybe could be a playlist that “even your granny could listen to it”.
There are songs about internal conflict, fear, love and friendship too. And if a tear can fall down from the face I apologize.
Apocalytica – “Pandemonium“
Let’s start with Apocalyptica and its “Pandemonium”, an instrumental song from the symphonic/neoclassical metal band that opens this playlist. The famous cello metal band of the world can’t missed in this playlist.
Nightwish – “Dead to the World“
One of the biggest Finnish metal bands in the world, Nightwish is here with its “Dead to the World”. It’s a song where doesn’t talk about a physical death. It’s a metaphor about a young girl or boy discovers how it’s dark the adult life. So they discover fear, pain, and other scary feelings come from the real world.
HIM – “Vampire Heart“
The pioner of “Love metal” HIM it’s here with “Vampire Heart”, a song about a tormented love by a vampire. The eternal outcast and symbol of the creature of the night suffers a love who could put in danger his lover. “Love me like you loved the sun, scorching the blood in my vampire heart”.
Amorphis – “Evil Inside“
“Evil Inside” by Amporhis is a song about darkness inside of us and our acceptance or rejection. The verse “kiss the evil inside that you cannot deny” is about live with our inner demons as shame, pervesion, and other dark feeling. After you’ve red this, I hope you don’t do it anything illegal. I’m watching you!

The 69 Eyes – “I Love the Darkness in You“
Halloween could even be a dark Valentine’s day? Yes it could be. This song is about loving the darkest side of the loved person. Not just the physical traits, but even the inner ones. So we love so much those dark sides that don’t have the will to change them. “Every time I see you there/ In the pale moonlight/ Dancing there all alone/ With a grave in your mind”.
Lordi – “She’s a Demon“
Do you remember Lordi, the ones who played “Hard Rock Hallelujah”? Yes, that’s that Lordi, and the band has published nineteenth album. “She’s a Demon” is a song where the main character writes a letter to his mom and tell her he’s in love with a girl. She looks like an angel, but she is a demon. They live in a wood because of her crimes, but love is stronger than anything else.
Poets of the Fall – “My Dark Disquiet“
Known for being one of the soundtrack in the videogame “Control” from the Finnish video game developer Remedy Entertainment, “My Dark Disquiet” by Poets of the Fall explores the darkest, most hidden feelings within ourselves. It’s a song about the duality of human nature, but even freedom and mental health.

The Rasmus – “Funeral Song“
Just a little bit of quiet for the ears. But not for the heart. “Funeral Song” by The Rasmus is about a toxic love relantionship where the main character is aware tu hurt the partner. A back-and-forth relationship that leads nowhere except to suffering. Some verses of the song: “I dumped you again/ I’ll take you back/ Just to leave you once again”.

Erja Lyytinen – “Going to Hell“
Are you ready for some blues rock? Erja Lyytinen‘s “Going to Hell” plays about the blues’ stereotype. Before rock and metal, blues genre was classified as the devil’s genre. So the singer and guitarist plays about this rumor. and because of this she’ll go to hell, but it’s even our egoistic choices when we got disappointed by someone we care.

Blind Channel – “Wolfpack“
“Wolfpack” by Blind Channel is about friendship and the strenght that it has. The metaphor is a suffering friend with a lonewolf. The wolf alone can dies under this suffer. but if it is witch the wolfpack it can suvives. So that’s the friendship. “Poison in our eyes/ Our blood as cold as ice/ We own the night/ The lone wolf dies, but the pack survives”.
Stratovarius – “Witch Hunt“
“Witch Hunt” by Stratovarius is a very good song. In town there’s a witch hunter, but especially as a metaphor. The witch in this case has two meanings. Historical, so about the way of the real witch hunt. Metaphorical: about the hunt for an easy scapegoat according to one’s own prejudices.
Sonata Arctica – “Candle Lawns“
Could be a Finnish playlist without Sonata Arctica? Obvsiously not. “Candle Lawns” is about the friendship of two soldiers. One of these two friends dies in a war battle and the dying soldier tells to his friend to care about his son. The expression “candle lawns” is a cemetery setting where the son can commemorate his father.
