about this song
Teurastaja (“The Butcher”) is one of Turmion Kätilöt’s most iconic songs, released on the album Hoitovirhe (2007). Combining industrial metal, techno rhythms and grotesque imagery, the track has become a live favourite and a cult anthem in the band’s repertoire. Lyrically, it’s packed with absurd and violent metaphors: “Pyörii lihamylly ja teurastajan pylly / Tahdissa vasaran / Sirkkelit nuo viestiä tuo / Krematorio kuoleman.” Behind the grotesque humour lies a deeply personal story.
