Finnish death metal. From the album, "A Leftover". Released in 1995 by Invasion Records.
A unique Finnish gem (certainly not a leftover, heh). The vocals are very unusual for Finnish death metal, kind of a mid-pitch grindy growl whereas most of the scene specialized in deep rasping. The guitar riffs on this album are quite melodic sometimes, but without sacrificing brutality. Often the riffs contain a "rhythm" part and sort of a melody part over it. Drumming superb as always. Great release.
Track 8 - Trifle
Day by day, every morning
To the same place he arrives
Same clothes, same old hat
A bottle in a paper bag
People going to work
Or to buy a newspaper
They never wonder why
Does he sit here
He used to have a life
All he has are memories
And people passing by
His name is known
That's all they want to know
Just looking to somewhere else
Thinking (about) problems of their own
Then one day the place was emptied
No bottle, no man or paperbag
Still something in there reminds of him
An abandoned ol wretched hat...
Something that has always
Been in there and gone
Almost everything's unchanged
Life is just the same
People go to work
Or to buy a newspaper
They just wonder why
Does he (usually) sit in there
He used to have ambitions
He use to have a life
All he has are memories
And people passing by
