Well, I can’t actually understand a word of it, but this cough drop commercial from Finland is amazing!
The ad is for a Finnish cough drop brand called ZYX. The commercial takes place on the set of a video shoot by a fictional black metal band apparently also going by the ZYX moniker (as evidenced by the kick drum heads). The “band” very closely resembles legendary Norwegian black metal band Immortal. The fictional video shoot is taking place in a frozen forest, as quite a number of real black metal videos tend to. The “singer” is howling away in the stereotypical black/death metal growl before a break in the shooting reveals him to be suffering from a sore throat. He soothes the malady with a ZYX cough drop and ends up getting an unexpected result when shooting resumes.
Check it out here below and enjoy.

In Finland we boast thousands of hardcore metal bands. During the wintertime, it gets pretty cold up here, too. For hardcore people like us, living in a hardcore climate, we need a hardcore sore throat remedy.
totally metal.
