Ruoska (Finnish for "whip" or "scourge") is a Finnish industrial rock band. They have been compared to the German band, Rammstein, in the era of "Sehnsucht". This comparison is often made with their single, "Darmstadt", from their "Riisu" album, most notably by Rammstein's own singer, Till Lindemann, in a Finnish magazine interview. One of the factors making them greatly stand out from those bands to those who listen to them, however, is singer Patrik Mennander's combination of low, growling speech (à la Lindemann) and conventional singing. The lyrics are exclusively in Finnish.
