Poets of the Fall - Jealous Gods

Just got their latest album last week and it's another nice and polished effort!
 
Their first single from the album has gotten mixed reviews but I like both the song and think the video is delightfully wicked.

He reminds me of 'Cat' from Red Dwarf.

I should add that, personally, I really like their first single, yet many rate it as one of the lowest on the whole album.
 
I find it interesting that the band got their start when the lead singer (a graphic artist at the time) was asked to create a lead song for the Max Payne II video game. 
 
Here's another cool video of them unplugged.

I like the band as well. It's encouraging to see that you can rise from a tiny marketing area to a decent level of international popularity without a big spending marketing organisation. Just doing your music. Iceland must be something like a world record country comparing the size of population to the number or internationally known pop/rock-artists.
 
As I've often mentioned, the inhabitants of big countries (populationwise) seldom come to think that when you
have only 5 million people, like Finland, you don't get rich even with a few gold records. You need to be in the top ten for ten years to be well off economically.
A year before their Eurovision Song Contest victory, the drummer of the band Lordi had to sell his small flat and move to  his parents' in order to be able to finance his playing in the band :o/ And at the time they had already had one number one hit and album in Finland.

The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

I don't know anything about the band - never heard them before - but I like this song.   And yeah, really nice production/mix and a cool video too.
