This is an amazing group! As I know they did two cover albums with this metal style. The albums are propably on Spotify. The singers: JP Leppäluoto (Charon, Dark Sarah) Marko Hietala (Nightwish, Tarot) Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica) Jarkko Ahola (Teräsbetoni)
This is a metal man band with Marko, Tony, Jarkko and JP. They turn classic hits into metal just for the fun of it. They kind of take the mickey are not too serious about music. It is kind of project and all the recordings are couple of years old. They also toured a bit in Finland, but there are very few videos.
I might get a shitload of hate on my back with saying this, but I love this even more then the og. 😄 This is so good 🖤🤛🤘 I might a bit biased being a finn and loving finnish metal music to the core but...
Ps. Everyone in this video has also (and other finnish names and even Floor , Tommy Karevik from Kamelot and Elize Ryd from Amaranthe etc etc) toured under the name of Raskasta Joulua. It's finnish and means Heavy Christmas. Yes, nomen est omen. They covered famous and legendary x-mas songs with a heavy metal twist. I we're in their gigs for 7 years in a row. In every christmas time, every year. Even ppl from Germany, Denmark, Poland etc european country came to see them in Finland. It's a shame that covid has taken their gigs now dor 2 years... :/
Haha yes!!! A reaction that includes JP (the first one singing, with the deepest voice). 😁🤘 Everyone talks about Marko, and I agree that he is very talented, but I personally much prefer JP. He's criminally underrated. And having met him, I can say he's a super sweet guy. ❤ He's experimented a lot with different styles over the years, so I'd definitely recommend checking out his other music, both in Finnish and English. For you I'd say Charon (pronounced "Karon", like the ferryman on the River Styx), the first band he was part of, or his work with Dark Sarah would be the best places to start. Oh, and tip on the pronunciation: the "J" in Finnish makes the "Y" sound like in the English "You", so Juha is "Yuha", Jarkko is "Yarkko", and Harmaja is "Harmaya"😉 And the "Ä" in JP's last name is pronounced the same as in the English word "Cat". ("LEP-pa-LU-oh-toh" is the best phonetic transcription I can come up with for his last name. 😅) Hope that helps. Sorry for the long-ass comment.

Four heavyweights of Finnish metal vocals. Would have loved to see them do at least one more album. 🤘
Tony wants to write OG stuff for them
There's a big chance that a new album is coming next year 😉
Your reactions keep surprising 😃 Nice to see you got to know about Northern Kings - it was a fun concept. 😊
Haha awesome, glad I'm keeping it fresh for you 😁👌

They did 2 albums, 2007 and 2008, but they haven't done anything in 10 years because of different schedules
Thank you! 😁
They did some stuff together in 2015... ruclips.net/video/CJz1UEyw0MM/видео.html

The song was written by Jim Steinman the guy who wrote most of Meat Loafs hits.
Check out some of the other covers they do. Sinatra's My Way is great! Thank you for this, not many are doing them.
Please react to Northern Kings: Heinillä Härkien Kaukalon video by Marko, JP, Jarkko, Tony. FI.
Take a look at at powerless Trio, holy Diver
That's not symphonic metal dude..
