They're from Finland and this surprises you?

As I said on that metal bands covering pop thread, they could only be finnish.

I think you're saying all this because part of you is all "Why the hell didn't I figure out this approach sooner and become rich and famous?"

you aren't very good at metal if you can only play in 4/4

I will say though that metal basically has the best singers in music outside of the classical/a capella realm tho

two years pass...

It's time for ILX to be reminded about the Northern Kings

It's not often a cover band allows itself the creative freedom to almost completely disregard the melodies and structures of the songs they cover.
