Arion - Last Of Us - Finnish symphonic power metal

[Oblivion Ocean]

So Arion switched singers recently. Their new singer is Lassi Vääränen and they recorded a live version of one of their songs. He sounds good on the song. I liked their former singer a little better because he seemed to hit these notes more effortlessly. But all and all not a band replacement.

Great band, picked up the album a month or so ago. Sat in my CD player for a solid 3 weeks. Can't wait to see what else they have in store.

Why'd they change singers? Was it because no one could take them seriously with a Justin Bieber lookalike on the mic?

I only heard of this band today and really dug the original vocals (Bieber lookalike or not, he sounded great). So when I heard this new Sammet-squealer, I was pretty disappointed. I wanted to like the vocals in their latest single but it just wasn't happening. The song itself is amazing, don't get me wrong, but the verses sung alone were awkward. I'll try looking for "Last of Us", but so far I'm not too thrilled about their next album.
