The circle of fans and followers constantly grows for Finnish heavy metallers BATTLE BEAST. Recently, the song `Show Me How To Die´, taken from their brilliant debut album “Steel” that was released on the 27th of January 2012 via Nuclear Blast, was covered by their fellow countrymen of the traditional Humppa band ELÄKELÄISET! Check out below and enjoy the highly entertaining result entitled `Kohta Humpataan´:
BATTLE BEAST’s front woman Nitte Valo comments: “It’s time for HUMPPA! Finnish humppa combo ELÄKELÄISET has done a cover of our single `Show Me How To Die´ (if you wonder what the hell ELÄKELÄISET means: it’s “pensioners”, though the guys aren’t really that old). I personally think that it’s a great thing having someone covering one of our songs, though I wonder where the high notes have gone… Whatever – KEEP IT HUMPPA-METAL!”
