Metal Pt. 2

Meet Lordi , another band who idolizes the underworld...
band from Finland, and winners of the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest, formed in 1992 by Tomi Putaansuu (known as 'Mr. Lordi')[1] of Rovaniemi, Finland. Lordi is known for their monster costumes and lyrical themes.

Lordi won the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest with a record 292 points, giving Finland its first ever victory. Lordi were featured on the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards in Copenhagen when Mr Lordi presented the award for rock, they were also the closing act playing their single Hard Rock Hallelujah. (wikipedia)

The music isn't all that... hmm.. tough... its pretty melodic and catchy, also a tad too simple, where are the never-ending guitar solos? A must for any band that dresses like demons from the underworld. Your probably wondering where I found these bands (look at early post called Metal), I credit all the pentagrams I drew on my denim jean jacket and three ring notebook, while in 10th grade in 1982.

I think they beat Paris Hilton for most views on youtube. Hell, I think they beat that video where the mom punches that teacher. (click a tag to watch video, sorry one repeats, i just wanted to emphasize the views)

Metal

聖飢魔II or Seikima -II or End of the Century!
The Wikipeida article: HERE
according to Wiki, in a nutshell, they were another "hell-band" but that doesn't matter - hell, um, if hell looks like this, well... how friggin awesome is that. They formed in the early 80's disbanded in the late 90's - this video i guess was taken sometime in the mid 90's. I watched the video twice and already consider myself a fateful follower to the crown price of darkness... Damian Hamada and his demon friends. With out further ado, the video... enjoy!
