Northern Kings - A little different kind of a "boyband"

Northern Kings - Nothing Compares 2 U (Prince)

Northern Kings is an all-star vocal group formed by Jarkko Ahola (Teräsbetoni), J-P Leppäluoto (Charon), Marco Hietala (Tarot, Nightwish) and Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica). They sing covers of known hit songs adding a heavy metal sound to them.

They have released two albums:
Reborn (2007) and Rethroned (2008)

As you guys can probably already guess, I'm a "metalhead" and I love Finnish metal music.

I also like this group a lot. Some of their cover songs are pure WIN, but some...not so much. Handsome men who sing extremely well, and great music with a little melodramatic humor.
Here are a couple of those pure WIN songs for you!

Broken Wings (Mr. Mister)


They Don't Really Care About Us (Michael Jackson)


We Don't Need Another Hero (Tina Turner)


Take On Me (A-Ha)
