Jesus Christ. This is like the worst rockquest regional final ever. Unbelievably bad. The link goes to the band who won, "Lordi" from Finland. I think they won because they did such a good job on their (admittedly fucking awesome) costumes. Fans of hard rock/metal might like to compare the chorus with Alice Cooper's "Poison", which is pretty much exactly the same, except one thousand times better. It's quite entertaining anyway. The costumes in the video are the costumes they wear when they play live.

When I first heard of Lordi, I thought they were one of those Scandanavian death metal bands, which would be truly awesome to see in Eurovision. But really, they're like the Darkness with really cool costumes. I mean, the bit where Mr Lordi's wings open, man, that is the shit.

Oh, and check out the lyrics! There is mention of the "Arockalypse" and the "day of Rockoning". I assume this will happen in Rocktober.
This is at least as awesome as when Bucks Fizz won with their skirt-rippin' "Making your mind up" back in '81.
