Ocean Soul

Yeah I'm not really familiar with the older Lacuna Coil, I guess the oldest album I have is Karmacode. 🤔 When I heard their cover of Enjoy the Silence it just blew me away. The music video was really strong and it truly spoke to me.

What the heck?!!! Is that... Is that really Cristina and Andrea or am I having a stroke or something? 😂 Let's put one of their newest promo pictures next to that and we could see how far they've come. To me Lacuna Coil has always been really hard and metal. Some of their lyrics are so depressed, hopeless and full of anxiety. Whenever I want to be one with my 'anima nera', I listen to Lacuna Coil. Also Delirium is great album to listen while working out. 😄

Damn why haven't I commented here before? I fell in love with Lacuna Coil last year, and Black Anima was... I don't know how to describe it. Specially the first and last song made a huge impact on me and I started to learn some Italian due to Anima Nera (and the band of course). Now I'm the proud owner of four of their studio albums and Live From The Apocalypse record. I haven't see them live before but I'd love to go some day! Screw this corona virus, I wish everything would be already back in the way they used to be.

You crushed it! 8/10! And thank you very much for your kind words. If you are ever able to travel Finland to see Nightwish, I'll be there with you headbanging my head off in a front row! 😄🤘 There you have it for the 14th time! Next quiz will be on next Friday as always. And holy shit it has been already THREE months instead of two. Thanks Fugazi for correction. 😄

I was so shocked when he took his mask off. I truly didn't see that one coming. About that biography, I found it a bit more cynical and negatively toned than I thought it would be. It has some funny stories as well and I read it last summer and had a great laugh a couple times reading it. 😄

Ok so I'll do it this way. I'll wrote about them with their names. The host is called Ile Uusivuori, the panelists from left to right are Janne Kataja (he's really hilarious TV -person), the lovely lady next to him is Jenni Kokander (she's that cool aunt person everybody has or wants to have, she's also a famous TV person and an actress), then there's this really fabulous woman Maria Veitola (she is a journalist, a TV-person and 'A Boss Lady' as she has stated herself) and last but definitely not least Christoffer Strandberg (actor, host and Finnish Dancing With The Stars winner). Christoffer: I WAS SO CLOSE! I WAS SO CLOSE!! Jenni: NOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Ile: Ladies and gentlemen, The Doctor aka Marco Hietala! Jenni: IT CAN'T BE!!!!!!!!! Ile: Gongratulations, the golden mask is yours! Marco: At times you're a winner. Christoffer: Oh shoot I was so close! Maria: It was so close for me too. Jenni: I don't know anything anymore. Janne: Someone said... Maria: I said it! Christoffer & Janne: Yeah, that's true! Maria: But I decided to guess it was Antti Holma (Finnish actor) instead. How stupid of me?! Marco: It was a great guess. Christoffer: You've built a very awesome character, really! Marco: Thank you so very much, it was kind of a pile of pieces, there was a killer whale thing and a doctor thing and in the end they merged. Jenni: That was a really great hoax, we were totally lost there! Marco: That was really awesome, I joined this competition because it sounded so absurd, weird and hilarious but along the way I noticed that how lost you guys were it totally topped off this whole thing. Christoffer: Which of our guesses was your favourite? Marco: I'd say Pirkka-Pekka Petelius (one of the most famous Finnish comedians of all time, I'd say). Ile: So Marco you've used to perform to thousands of people with Nightwish and so on, but how was it to perform as The Doctor? Marco: This was really something else, the most awesome thing in this was to start off from clean table and you don't have to think about everything you have done in the past decades in music and nobody had any sorts of preconceptions. You can be as crazy as you want, do some sort of weird elegant baletic like movements and so on. Janne: Where did all those liquids and substances came from? Maria: And those rainbow flags! Did they have any meaning, like why the color was that color? Marco: Noo, but of course I was aware that Elton John... (he kinda stops the sentence and starts another) And at that point when you noticed those rainbow colors and start guessing related to them I thought that 'well, this was a really great hoax also'. Ile: Awesome! Thank you very much Marco Hietala aka The Doctor, you are the winner of Masked Singer Finland who tricked us all. Then Ile just thanks everybody. This is just my free and pretty fastly made translations, there might be some grammar mistakes but I'm happy to correct those 😄

Would you like me to translate it for you? 🙂
