The live line-up currently adds Shag-U (Fear Of Domination), Master Bates, RunQ (Tarot, Eternal Tears of Sorrow),DQ and Bobby Undertaker from Deathchain. Previous singer Spellgoth (Trollheim's Grott, Horna) left at the start of 2017.

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.

Paha Ihminen
Turmion Kätilöt Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jos katsoa voi niin koskea saa
Kaikki haluaa vääryyttä laistaa
Sikiö sikisi pyhästä hengestä
Geenivirhe erheestä

Niin jos sanotaan, älä tapa
Elämää täytyy rakastaa
Mutta elä vain jotta kuolla voit

Etkä rakkaudella rahaa saa

Ja niin taas tapahtui
Ihminen itsensä jumalaksi muutti
Veti taivaan päälle maan
Ja tuhosi sen taas uudestaan

Kansa tahtoo päälle maan
Epäjumalan valtiaan
Ja sen tekopyhhän muovisen taivaan alla
Jokainen syntiä harrastaa

Kun viimein aika koittaa
Ja taudit maata valloittaa
Taas nämä jumalat vaikeroi
Kun lihaa ei enää syödä voi

Kansa tahtoo päälle maan...

Ja niin taas tapahtui... [x4]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Turmion Kätilöt's song "Paha Ihminen" address the issue of human nature and our seemingly innate desire to cause harm and destruction. The opening lines suggest that even though we may be able to see the consequences of our actions, we still choose to act in harmful ways. The mention of a genetic flaw suggests that this destructive tendency is an inherent part of our makeup.

The lyrics continue to explore the idea that we often ignore our moral compass in favor of personal gain. The line "live only to die" suggests that we prioritize death over love and that we are willing to sacrifice our own happiness for the chance to accumulate wealth. The chorus ties together the idea that humans have created false idols and worshipped at their feet, abandoning a sense of morality in the process.

The song concludes with a warning about the consequences of our actions. As diseases spread and humanity suffers, those who have prioritized selfish gains over the good of all will come to regret their choices. The repeated refrain of the chorus reminds us that this is a cycle that repeats itself time and time again.

Line by Line Meaning

Jos katsoa voi niin koskea saa
If one can look, one can touch

Kaikki haluaa vääryyttä laistaa
Everyone wants to avoid injustice

Sikiö sikisi pyhästä hengestä
The fetus was conceived from the Holy Spirit

Geenivirhe erheestä
Genetic defect from a mistake

Niin jos sanotaan, älä tapa
So if one says, do not kill

Elämää täytyy rakastaa
Life must be loved

Mutta elä vain jotta kuolla voit
But live only to die

Etkä rakkaudella rahaa saa
And with love, you will not receive money

Ja niin taas tapahtui
And so it happened again

Ihminen itsensä jumalaksi muutti
Man turned himself into a god

Veti taivaan päälle maan
Pulled the heaven over the earth
