Viikate (Scythe) is a Finland|Finnish Heavy metal|metal band from Kouvola, formed in 1996. It is known for its melancholy lyrics, drawing inspiration from Finnish romance movies of the 1950s and Finnish singers of the era, including Reino Helismaa. Their style has been variously described as "Reino Helismaa|Helismaa-metal," "Rautalanka|wire metal," and "death schlagers." The band began with Kaarle and Simeoni Viikate who remained the only members of the band until 2001, when Arvo and Ervo joined. The band's most well-known hits are ''Ei ole ketÃ¤Ã¤n kelle soittaa'' (There's no one to call to), ''Leimu'' (Flame), and ''Pohjoista Viljaa'' (Northern Crops).

Kaarle and Simeoni got the idea to start the band when watching Lyijykomppania's last concert.
