Niko Vilhelm, a vocalist from the Oulu-based rock band Blind Channel representing Finland in this year s Eurovision Song Contest, said the competition wasn t all that important to the group.
Their gloomy, rap-rock submission to the historically camp song contest,
Dark Side, appears to glorify alcohol abuse and suicide by the age of 27.
The song sounds vaguely reminiscent of early 2000s bands like Linkin Park or Evanescence.
