And the winner...

...isn't Arion! =( too bad!! Really.
The winner of UMK is Krista Siegfrids. It's not my cup of tea AT ALL!!
Anyway, let's see how she'll be at the Eurovision Song Contest.

UMK

Watching the finale of finnish pre-selections for Eurovision Song Contest. Only understand 1 word of 100 but doesn't matter ^^ I love Finnish anyway!
And I'm watching it for one reason: Arion. The metal band of this finale! The drummer is Stratovarius' Matias Kupiainen's brother. I sincerely hope they'll win, they deserve it! 
Their performance can be found here

GO ARION!!!!

Silverthorn

I recently got the limited edition of Kamelot's new album, Silverthorn. And I must say, I'm glad I bought this version!! =)
First, the songs are really beautiful: Sacrimony, Torn, Solitaire, Silverthorn... the 2 jewels of this albums are the wonderful Song for Jolee and Falling Like the Fahrenheit, the new single. Tommy's voice is awesome, and the musician are still incredibly great!! :D
Second, this limited edition contains an instrumental CD, including 2 pieces unreleased on the other version: Kismet and Grace.
Last but not least, it also includes the story of Silverthorn, written by Amanda Somerville. A short story incredibly good written, and which helps to understand the concept of the album.

Congrats, guys. You did a great job!!!!!

Special thoughts

All my best thoughts to Lamb of God's singer Randy Blythe, on trial today.
He's accused of having caused the death of a 19-year-old fan in May 2010, by pushing him out of the stage.

Dear Randy, all the Lamb Of God fans and all the metalheads all over the world are behind you!
