I, for one, think that given the recent history and the farce that was the Electric Callboy situation we should from now on send metal acts with steadily increasing levels of heavyness until Europe capitulates.

(The "Electric Callboy situation" was the NDR judging that this song was "not suited for radio play". It's one of the most eurovision things ever produced. German radio stations commented the situation by playing it on heavy rotation)

Oh yeah that whole thing was so absurd. Like…it’s so radio friendly, I don’t get it?!? And God they are so good too!! Saw them live last year, one of the most energetic shows I’ve ever seen, period! Germany has so much great music.
