NewsRoom Finland reports that the record company of TERÄSBETONI, the bombastic metal rockers who will represent Finland at the Eurovision song contest in May, has shelved a video that was supposed to be shown to the media on Thursday (March 13), Finnish tabloids Iltalehti and Ilta-Sanomat reported Friday.
"We concluded that the goings-on [in the video] were too burly for a Eurovision video," Pekka Ruuska of Warner Music Finland was quoted as saying by Iltalehti.
Jarkko Ahola, the TERÄSBETONI frontman, said the video featured images like a woman's unclothed chest.
"The video showed various byproducts of a rock star lifestyle. I thought it was funny as a parody," Ahola was quoted as saying by Ilta-Sanomat.
TERÄSBETONI will release its third album, "Myrskyntuoja", on March 19 via Warner Music Finland. The CD's cover artwork can be viewed at this location. The album was produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa (HIM, APOCALYPTICA, THE 69 EYES), who previously worked with TERÄSBETONI on the group's last LP, the gold-certified (in Finland) "Vaadimme metallia", which came out in 2006.

01. Voiman Vartijat
