   hey hey!!!

just stumbled upon this, well worth a look i rekon!

"Northern Kings - Finland’s premier symphonic power metal supergroup - are not your average covers band!  Featuring four operatic male vocalists performing classic tracks in their own unique symphonic rock style which really must be heard to be believed.  The 4 members are all successful frontmen in their own right; singing in a handful of the biggest Finnish metal acts of recent times (Nightwish, Teräsbetoni, Tarot, Sonata Arctica and Charon).  Their new Record ‘Reborn’ is released in the UK through warner brothers on Monday 16^th of June and features, among others, critically acclaimed awe inspiring covers of Electric Light Orchestra’s ‘Don't Bring Me Down’, Phill Collins’ ‘In The Air Tonight’ and Peter Gabriel’s 1986 classic ‘Sledgehammer.’

For more info, a full album track-listing, and to hear songs from their myspace/youtube head over to:

	Not your average cover band, that's for sure. I've heard it, and I still don't believe it. Music for comlpete morons.
	Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me

	What, are these guys bored or not getting enough money? Looks like a really odd tracklist, but I guess there's some point to making albums like this one :/
