finland to send death metal band to eurovision song contest

[stimpee]

In the media:

New York Times "Finland Squirms as Its Latest Export Steps Into Spotlight"
The Guardian "Finland sends in the heavy metal mob for its Eurovision challenge"
The Sunday Times "Finland gets bloody minded"
The BBC "Finns shocked by Eurovision band"
De Telegraaf (Dutch) "Finse 'satansband' naar Europese songfestival" (overdoing the headlines as usual)
International Herald Tribune "Monster band has Finland fretting over face it shows"
(interesting perspective)

If you search for Lordi + Hallelujah on YouTube you can also watch both the video and their performance on the Eurovision qualifying. Satanist? I think not. Alice Cooper-lite? probably. Entertaining anyway and I hope they make it past the semi-final onto the main show. I wonder what Terry Wogan will say...
