The band had a recording contract with Spinefarm Records (specifically Ranka Recordings), and their second full-length album, Pirun nyrkki, was released on March 29, 2006. Shortly after a dispute over income developed between the band and Spinefarm, with the band filing a lawsuit against the label. During the ongoing case, a new album, U.S.C.H.!, was released for free download on 11 June 2008. A new single, Minä määrään ("I Rule"), was also released for free before the album, on May 21.
On March 9 the group posted a statement on their website, clarifying the arguments between the band and their former record company Spinefarm Records had been settled, but stated that the terms of the agreement meant they could not discuss the matter further. U.S.C.H.! was released physically on 20 May 2009 including 2 bonus tracks.
On December 07 2012, lead vocalist Turunen suffered a stroke. The band was on small hiatus, but returned at 22. January 2013 and revealed that a new album is coming out next autumn.

The lyrics to Turmion Kätilöt's song Kärsi convey a message about the struggles and pain that are experienced collectively by society, while also touching on political and societal issues. The first verse begins with a list of contrasting terms such as masochist/sadist and anarchist/fascist, highlighting the divisions within society. However, the chorus unifies these differences as it repeats the phrase "Kärsi" which means "suffer". The chorus emphasizes that no matter our differences, we all experience pain and hardship. The second verse further emphasizes the sharp contrasts within society, with references to Realists and Atheists, and Democracy and Bureaucracy, and how those issues do or do not affect individuals.
The use of the term "suffer" in the chorus has a powerful meaning. It suggests that we all have a responsibility to help ease the suffering of those around us. The song also suggests that societal problems may be caused by larger systemic issues such as politics, rather than just individual decisions. The use of the terms "anarchist/fascist" and "terrorist/racist" suggests that these issues are not always easy to distinguish and that societal issues can often be far from straightforward.
