This is another finnish band I quite like. As far as I know they come under power metal but don't be deterred by that. I shall post links and whatnot at a later time ^^

My best friend loves them but wont lend me her CD's with the excuse that I wouldn't like them... I was the one who got her into Finnish metal!

I like the little I've heard of them, I should really find out more.

Hehe Yay ^^ I like their artwork too. as far as reccomendations go I would suggest 'Dont Say A Word', 'Wolf & Raven', 'Replica' and 'Black Sheep'. I want the Roland AX-7 which is the keytar used in the 'Dont Say A Word' video

They're lyrics are a bit cheesy, but half the time, I don't pay attention to the lyrics. xD

I really love their sound. I got their 'For The Sake Of Revenge' for Christmas last year... oh boy. mrgreen They're AMAZING live.

My roommate took it with her for her trip to Quebec, but I'll gladly rip it and send it to you when she gets back in a week, if you'd like.

"I see you walking hand in hand with long haired drummer of the band."

Yep, Tony Kakko makes me laugh. xD

I don't think I've listened to that one yet. I'll look it up.

Edit: I have to say, I quite liked that one. The solo was really great, and the lyrics were interesting.

It's such a weird song though lol. Oh I lurv ''Don't Say a Word''. Listen to these for lyrics like;
"I read a book about a man, a love, a woman, how they died
How I was waved aside, listen how the headless doves cry
I truly see a madman in the mirror when I'm weak
I spent a year in love before I realized it's me

Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
Make me believe it, oh I know you're lying
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why...
Could I let you wait out the night"

if you need any SA, talk to me. i have all their stuff.

yes, they are melodic power metal.

about 95% of their songs are all written and composed by Tony Kakko(the frontman), who happens to be one of the sexiest men alive right now. they recently hired another keyboard/key-tar player before they recorded Unia and do some of the most amazing covers you will EVER hear.

lyrics are not cheesy. they are heartfelt and true.

i throuroughly enjoy SA's music. another part about their style that i like is they can make a depressing song (lyrically) but, have a nice up-beat and happy instrumentalization of it, which is very hard to pull off for anyone...

also, in b4 they suck

not that weird

did you actually pay attention to the lyrics? it tells a story.. and the story is clearly layed out in the lyrics.

beautiful song though.

love and let live

Yeah I listened to em ^^ To me its like someone desperate to be famous or seeking some kind of false fame. I like the way the song shifts characters from the boy to the puppet master

I have only heard 2 songs and they sound very good to me! ^_^

When I got my computer back (soon I hope U¬¬) I will download some of them as well.

Now we are even Nockz my friend!
