Eurovision 2008

[Shadow298]

Well, Eurovision is upon us again and it seems that most countries don't give a shit much about it -since Ireland sent a Turkey hand puppet as their entry.

And Finland has sent a metal band -Teräsbetoni- again but they are surprisingly good -despite looking like Manowar and Hammerfall in all that leather.

here is there entry:

actually hoping that they win or at least get through to the finals -which are on Sunday on SBS.

This made me laugh, the write up about the band on the Eurovision website.

"Biography
After a string of Semi-Finals, Finnish tv viewers were asked to choose their performers and song for the upcoming 2008 Eurovision Song Contest.After winning with Lordi in 2006, Finland showed once again that it's a country that loves unusual and innovative music"

Power metal isn't my favourite genre BUT i still enjoy some of it, and I really disliked Finland's song. The guitar solo is absolutely pathetic in my opinion.

Yes!!! I knew you'd slowly come around!!!

[Stormster]

[Ebony~Veiled]

Apologise for your ruthless slandering of the mighty HAMMERFALL or risk ya manager bidding you farewell!!

 

[Ebony~Veiled]

MY MANAGER will never leave! he's too good a guy to do that to me

Dont worry, so do most other power metal fans.

Hammerfall are generic and fairly shit but Rhapsody have some majorly awesome moments. I strongly encourage you to temporarily scale your hatred back to around a dozen suns of fire until you've had opportunity to re-assess.

 

[Ebony~Veiled]

I did re-assess.. a few times as i'm not the sort of person who writes music off without giving it a few listens!
I just can't stomach them!

 

[RavenHasFlownAway]

[Ebony~Veiled]
