I've just found this browsing the Web for some bands. This site is organizing a vote, featuring one song from one band from all countries eligible for participating to the real Eurovision Song Contest event (provided they found a band for each country).

The bands are not invovled in the competition, as far as I understood. They're not even told they're participating, so as they site on the site, it's just for fun, it's nothing big.

But it is still a way to discover new bands, just like our compilation. Note that it's written:
Priority is given to active power metal and prog metal bands

What's for Ireland; Cruachan or Primordial? :p

Damn, link won't work. I'll try it when I get home and post my thoughts later.

Well, at the very least, any Irish metal band would be better than Brian Kennedy with 'Generic Irish ballad NOT called 'Danny Boy' but musically identical' No 7 in C major, with a key change before the final chorus

So it seems that they too are focussing on the mainstream just like the normal Eurovision Song Contest. Why only the soft side of metal, the melodic side, what's wrong with the extreme?

Well, the answer is probably "because they don't like it". As I said, it seems to be something completely unprofessionnal, just a bunch of people having fun with that. I haven't search for that but I wouldn't be surprised if an extreme version was or will be created by others.

I see they chose Conscience for France, Ironsword for Portugal and Firestorm for Austria, the only three bands from the list that I know. There are probably more to discover.

Heavy Metal Eurovision? What's this world coming to? You can make a good compilation and not have to call it a contest. I'd be particularly worried if there were any extreme bands there.

It'd be nice to see an extreme equivalent, for extreme metal bands only, although this is also very interesting.

Funny story, I discovered this a while ago and actually discovered Gaia Epicus because of it...shame Gaia Epicus is a bit shit. It's a nice way to discover some rare power metal/prog metal bands.

Dude, i don't know what the hell you just said, still, to clear things up, the band which represents Ireland is "Defect". Heard of them? I'm checking out all the bands now but i haven't gotten to that one yet.

Beautiful dream....the homepage introduced that Heavy Metal won in 2006 and brought two heavy metal bands to participate in 2007....however...as we all saw, these songs were more or less completely ignored at the competition....shows that metal in general doesn't have any high hopes connected to that sort of competition....however....a separate competition for metal acts only is a fine idea.....

Yeah I've heard about this competition quite some time ago, when I was searching a greek band's site, I saw an announcement saying they won the 1st or 2nd place and had a link for the competition site. I went on to download various songs so I could learn about more bands, but most of the songs were unable to be played for some reason... I don't think I liked the site much, but the idea is good...
