Biography
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[citation needed] 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. It is the first album by Turmion Kätilöt to have songs in English. It also goes deeper into a thrash metal style with industrial elements.
