Oh no.. what should I say? I feel ashamed. Teräsbetoni, The Manowar Of Finland, is competing in the national pre-selection for Eurovision song contest. They are going to play their track “Missä miehet ratsastaa” which is composed by Jarkko Ahola, singer of the band. Teräsbetoni will perform their show in February 22nd. and it can be seen in TV2 Finnish television channel. Jarkko Ahola is also known from Northern Kings.

First there was Lordi, now Teräsbetoni. I know Teräsbetoni is a show and the Eurovision song contest is just a joke, but still I feel like Teräsbetoni representing Finland in an international arena is not a good idea. Just see the video below. Would you allow these dudes to represent your country? I might be old-fashioned, but I find this is ridiculous. If you understand Finnish, listen to Orjatar from Teräsbetoni and you know what I mean. By the way, Orjatar has a good guitar riff, but the lyrics suck.

I respect Jarkko Ahola as a singer. He has talents and a pretty good voice, as you can hear in Northern Kings track I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight. He sings well, but Teräsbetoni’s show makes me feel ashamed. Some folks love this kind of glorious music, and I must say I like artists like Luca Turilli, but not this stuff. No way! “Metal truth”, “The mightiest power”, “Swords”, “Brotherhood, honour, truth”.. Oh no.. what else?

Well, there is the other side of the coin as well. May be Teräsbetoni should make it to Eurovision song contest and be victorious. At least it would be helluva funny show. I have a better idea. Let’s unite Teräsbetoni and Turisas and send them to Eurovision song contest. That would give us a double-laugh.
