Northern Kings

Members: Jarkko Ahola (from Teräsbetoni and formerly from Dreamtale), Marco Hietala (from Nightwish and Tarot), Tony Kakko (from Sonata Arctica) and Juha-Pekka Leppäluoto (from Charon)

All 4 members switch off doing lead vocals depending on the cover.

They actually are a straight up metal cover band. (All they do is covers for those who didn't get that from the obvious statement) This is a track listing of both of their albums, they have a 3rd album in production currently as well. (I'm a huge Northern Kings fan) haha
