Both acoustically and visually Don Huonot’s “Pyhimys” (“The Saint One”) is supposed to terrify and make your blood freeze in your veins, but the thing is that the well-like yard, its shabbiness and the singers’ stylized behaviour remind rather of Saint Petersburg’s 1990s than of Helsinki in 2000s.
The music and the text are stabbing their daggers into the ears, and yes:
Tiedän että suunnittelit kaiken valmiiksi,
että tapaturmalta mun surma näyttäisi…
…Ootko niin, hej ootko niin —
pyhimys?
I know that you prepared everything thoroughly, so that my death would look like an accident… are you so saint then?
English title: Don Huonot “The Saint One”
