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,

The song sounds vaguely reminiscent of early 2000s bands like Linkin Park or Evanescence.
