Stam1na, best album art? http://www.metalstorm.ee/bands/album.php?album_id=25942&band_id=3235&bandname=Stam1na
was blooddrunk that bad that it actually affected the album art as well?

Wow, this makes the Grammy's look even great as if the grammy's know what they're talking about.

Well, this certainly disspells the myth that Finns knwo their metal

Umm, hey idiots. You'd have to be high on pretty much all existing illegal substances to actually think that Stam1na resembles HIM. Ignorant cunts, they play progressive metal, mix various styles like heavy, thrash and prog rock and are clearly inspired by the works of Devin Townsend and SYL. Don't be prejudiced assholes, please. Instead, take a listen, give them an unbiased chance, and maybe they'll finally start covering some ground outside Finland.

Lemme guess, you're a Stamina, fan?

Btw, never heard the band, so I can't judge if they sound like HIM or nor.

Does it really matter?

Take a listen, and tell me it sounds like HIM. A fan or not, there really can't be any doubt.
I'm getting unnecessarily bumped up here, but this kind of prejudice really gets on my delicate nerves + that I'd really like to see them going abroad, seeing as I myself in fact do not live in Finland.

Comparing Stam1na to HIM and Green Day must mean that someone hasn't even bothered to listen to Stam1na. I guess one has to be a Finn to really understand the greatness of this band. In my opinion Stam1na's music is awesome and it has such energy and attitude that many bands will never have. They damn sure deserve all the awards they got and they are one of the few bands that even care about their fans these days. So, please stop whining and settle for the results.

not true. (Man! it seems Stam1na fans are like Opeth or Tool fans, SO touchy when people don't like their band!) They may or may not have deserved all their medals (definitely not best album art... ), but what do you mean a band that really cares about their fans? do you know them? i really don't think that Stam1na are in an elite few that "really cares" about their fans, i'd say they're somewhere.... oh, i dunno, same place as every other band on this earth that loves to make music and loves even more to play it to their fans. So, i wouldn't use that as a plausible argumentative point.

The think is that i HAVE listened to them on their MySpace...and AFTER that i claim what i claim...

sorry Stam1na lovers...but i am not

I'm surprised Norther wasn't more noticed... What do people here think of them? (or is talent put aside for whatever sounds catchy?)

Written by Ernotar on 15.02.2009 at 21:31

--I can't really understand this almost violent attitude towards Stam1na winning those awards. It's not like Finnish Metal Awards are even a big thing here...not our equivalent to Grammy-awards or anything... The main reason for Stam1na winning must be that they've probably asked their fans to vote for them on their own website. Big deal.

It is very easy to be better than CoB tbh. I listened to Stamina after I posted in this thread and to be 100% honest they are much better than CoB, Norther, Wintersun, Ensiferum to name but a few. Still not my sort of music though but a lot more original musicwise than the bands I just mentioned.

It's called fanboyism. You vote your fave band in every category. How many top-selling bands should we have?
