Northern Kings - Finland at it's Finest


Somehow I missed this band. Perhaps through some odd twist of fate, or a missed connection somewhere it hasn't been until now that I've become privy to this gift basket of awesomeness. Northern Kings are a Finnish band comprised of 4 of Finland's most talented and prominent musicians. (Recognize any faces?) They are a cover band, and they cover famous songs and give them a little bit of their own metal flavor. The singing is so, so, so, sooo good. Let this be your band of the day folks, they are amazing.

"Take On Me" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlupRATWkm0

Use your savvy internet skills to find more, and you're welcome in advance. =)

He swears up to the sky, you will not have died in vain

On a cold and misty night,
a ring of torches light the hallowed ground
where his father's laid to rest

In the reflection of the sword
he sees his destiny and he swears up to the sky -
"You will not have died in vain"

On the field - with sword and shield
amidst the din of dying man's wails
War is waged - and the battle will rage
until only the righteous prevail

From the shadows comes a man,
returning to his land - Winds of change
taint the sweet smell of home

And all around him, he can see
the pain and misery
this tyrant's reign is through
"I will stand and fight... Will you?"

A heart of gold pumps within his metal skin
A noble line he carries on

On the field - with sword and shield
amidst the din of dying man's wails
War is waged - and the battle will rage
until only the righteous prevail

I wish to stay...to be here with you
You were my strength...How can I go on?

On the field - with sword and shield
amidst the din of dying man's wails
War is waged - and the battle will rage
until only the righteous prevail.

Symphony X, "Accolade II" from album, "The Odyssey"

One of my favorite songs ever. True.

Champion of Ithaca

So this is home...
In the guise of a beggar - Minerva guides my way
I find my kingdom in jeopardy

Vengeance - it swells within me
As I spy so many who eye my Queen
I'll make them pay for this blasphemy... All will see

Triumphant - Champion of Ithaca
I will right all the wrongs
Let the Gods sing my song
Triumphant - Champion of Ithaca
Let a new life begin
my journey has come to and end

A contest of valor
'to pierce the twelve rings
in a single arrow's flight'
Yet, not a one can string the bow

My veil of silence lifted
All is revealed
revenge burns in my heart
thrashing and slashing down all my foes...to claim the throne

Triumphant - Champion of Ithaca
I will right all the wrongs
Let the Gods sing my song
Triumphant - Champion of Ithaca
Let a new life begin
this is the end of my Odyssey

Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied
Home - I'm finally home
I've been twenty years away from all I ever knew
I have returned to make my dream come true

...Just a verse from one of my favorite songs, and the lyrics behind the title of my blog. (Symphony X - "The Odyssey")

Kamelot = Win.

If you're a fan of metal and you haven't had a chance to check out Kamelot yet, do yourself a favor.

I don't really dig a band unless they have a talented and awesome sounding singer, and this band is no exception. They seriously destroy universes. Roy Khan can hit sing through 5 octaves (rumored) which is pretty incredible.

Start with Ghost Opera in my opinion, but whatevs.
