Don't worry Jani, the Finns won't have to pay for all of it. The reason the UK always qualifies for the final straight away is because along with Germany, France and Spain they put the most money into the Eurovision/EBU ;)

No, not like Nightwish.

Nightwish is something called melodic metal or somthing like that, but Lordi is meaner and dirtier sounding music, however I have never learned all different styles and I'm not big fan of any music, except Scenemusic, so I think I may be also wrong :P

You remember now that I thought Karajan was music from 80's so I really can't say much from music :lol:

This is from Eurovision so see and hear yourself...

Bit like 80's rock or something, eh?

Naah..Lordi is hard rock, not death metal as some magazines tolds so.

There are many heavy/metalbands from finland which are well known in europe and america like Nightwish, HIM, Rasmus (it isn heavy or metal), Children Of Bodom, Apocalyptica, etc etc..and Lordi :D

Futurecrew, one of the best :D From middle 90's.

Also very close and sometimes even better are Doomsday, Dekadence, Fairlight and Firestorm.

You don't know what I'm talking about? :lol:

From previous Assembly competition http://www.assembly.org/compos/:

Instrumental music Firestrom / Doomsday http://assembly.mbnet.fi/asm04/compos/i ... omsday.ogg

Oldschool music Britelite / Dekadence
http://assembly.mbnet.fi/asm05/compos/o ... adence.mp3

I wish that Eurovision would have something as above next time, better than any other music :P
Ok, maybe not music for mainstream, but I will never be mainstream :lol:

Thats what I was meaning Arnagath, they must seem like Brittany Spears if all the music you get is death metal ;)

Of the 3 or 4 bands you listed, I didn't know any were finnish, seems you don't just produce nutcase death-wish rally drivers!
