Re: Finland

Finland returns to World Vision !!!

Yle officially returned to the country's competition in a press conference in Helsinki to announce that João Silva (JSSArcos will be the new head of the country's delegation).At a press conference held at YLE's Studio 3, where several names of Finnish music were present.

JSSArcos immediately announced that they are going to participate in the 105th edition. "Saying that he is very satisfied to be in a country so rich in music,and hopes to achieve great results"

It has also been said, that the selection of music, will be internally, only the responsibility of the head of delegation and his team.

Nothing was advanced, who could represent the country in the next edition,more news will be posted shortly.

Finland did not participate in the competition since the WV101, with the last presence in the final was in the WV99 where it was in 23 place.

Re: Finland / WV #105 ????

Finland sends your Song !!!

After a few days,without any news. Today it is officially announced by YLE that the head of the delegation João Silva has just submitted his first song

Nothing was advanced, from who could represent the country, just said by JSSArcos "which is a band that really like, sending one of their favorite songs of the band"

The country press speaks of some rumors of who could represent the country,most of the Finnish press says that some famous band in the country is likely to represent the country.

Everything indicates that the song will be revealed on the 18th or 19th after you know the draw of the edition

Re: Finland / WV #105 / Nightwish - The Islander

Nightwish represent Finland in Paris !!!

​

"The Islander" will be the song that will represent Finland in the 105th edition to take place in Paris, France.

Nightwish is a symphonic metal band from Kitee, Finland. The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, and former lead singer Tarja Turunen. The band soon picked up drummer Jukka Nevalainen, and then bassist Sami Vänskä after the release of their debut album, Angels Fall First (1997). In 2001, Vänskä was replaced by Marco Hietala, who also took over the male vocalist role previously filled by Holopainen or guest singers.

"The Islander" was filmed in Rovaniemi, in Finnish Lapland, in October 2007, and Holopainen commented that they at first didn't plan to make a third video for the album, but when they were offered Finnish beauty, they couldn't resist it. He has also said that for once the lyrics actually fits with the video, which is "a sort of Lapp wilderness combined with the surrealism of Salvador Dalí." The video features guest musician Troy Donockley, who would later become an official member of Nightwish.

Re: Finland / WV #107 / Sonata Arctica - Fullmoon

Sonata Arctica to represent Finland in edition 107 !!!

​

"Fullmoon" will be the song that will represent Finland in the 107th edition to take place in Sweden

Sonata Arctica was formed in 1996 on the edge of the world, in the northern Finnish town of Kemi. Originally formed as Tricky Beans, they released few demos and as they got the contract they had to change their name.
In 1999 the band recorded a new demo "FullMoon" in Tico Tico Studios located in their hometown, Kemi. At the time of recording the line-up consisted of: Tony (vocals/keys), Jani (guitars), Tommy (drums), and Janne (bass). This new demo was the first exploration for the band in heavy metal waters. The band's trademark sound of fast, melodic and keyboard oriented heavy metal with clear, high vocals was born. As fate would have it, and with help from Ahti Kortelainen of Tico Tico Studios, the "FullMoon" demo found its way to the premier metal label of Finland, Spinefarm. At the same time Tricky Beans became Sonata Arctica.

in General I am very surprised by the good results I have achieved, I already loved the Finnish music industry, but after participating in the WV I discovered fantastic songs that I have already sent and others I hope to send, as I mentioned earlier, an NF will come soon, where there will be all the musical genres a little bit, and some strange music .... I've always tried to bring some diversity into the songs I like, I hope that at least once you’ve already appreciated our entries if yes, my job is being done

It is not always easy to keep the topic updated , but I want to THANK YOU from the bottom of the heart who has supported our entries

more news about the NF arrived soon

love you all
take care
