I decided to do a pre-view of the UK's 2025 Eurovision entry

I think it should be good for last place.

 

[Ordnael]

I am afraid the UK has been fated for the Eurovision last places since Brexit.
Then again it's not like the UK needs to win a contest plagued by subpar regurgitated neo pop.
You gave me Camel, Pink Floyd, Radio Head...I am more than satisfied!

Was at my first Heilung live gig last night. Absolutely sublime.
I was ready to jump into a longship and invade England half way through it

 

[Kyriakos]

Can I have some of the danegeld when you return?

[Kyriakos]

Classic ost.

@EvaDK Outstanding costumes! Puts on a "going viking" mood for sure.

 

[H4run]

This is unintentionally good, especially the intro, the vocal just inhumanely crisp. I hope it's longer like 3 minutes.

 

[Fippy]

Nice relaxed song from the original metal pirates.

Oh yes. They make their own costumes and instruments. The drummers are just something else. Maria Franz plays on real human bones during 'Krigsgaldr', one of the props that have given the group problems with customs officers when on tour

Their Glastonbury performance last year was also pretty epic; nothing else I've ever listened to, sound like them. They call their music 'amplified history' which completely makes sense when you experience them live.

Tbh with that band name I expected something that evokes at least some emotion ^^

I was cursory searching for a track by them, i also like where they got their name from.

The band's name came from an incident that took place in a Chicago bar; according to van Acker and Jourgensen, the band was trying out "insulting French expressions" on a waiter, ordering something they said meant "revolting cock" which led the waiter to say, "You are revolting cocks!"
