Turmion Kätilöt (literally "Midwives of Ruin" or "Midwives of Perdition" is a Finnish industrial metal band founded in 2003 by vocalist MC Raaka Pee (Real name: Petja Trunnen) and guitarist DJ Vastapallo (real name: Lassi Kauppinen)
The band plays a style of industrial metal that is stylistically similar to Rammstein, but borrows more heavily from techno elements.
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. On 4th of April 2013 the band released a new single titled Jalopiina in 2 different forms; as a purchasable single or as a free download on their website. During the first day after the release, the Finnish record shop Levykauppa X held a campaign where the single was legally stealable.
In May 2015, the band debuted two new singles, Vastanaineet and Taisteluhuuto, and in July announced that their upcoming album Diskovibrator would be available on September 25 that year.
In January 2017, Turmion Kätilöt announced on their Facebook page that long-time member Spellgoth had departed from the band.
In 2018, they released their latest album, Universal Satan, the first album after Spellgoth's departure from the band. The album includes more techno elements, but not full-on techno like the previous Dance Panique album, as it strikes more of a balance between techno and metal.
