The Rasmus-In the Shadows

The Rasmus is a Finnish rock band formed in 1994. Prior to the release of their 4th album, Into (2001), they added 'the' in front of their band name to distinguish themselves from a DJ by the same name. The band consists of four high school friends. They have since returned to their school to put on a performance and released their latest album in 2008, Black Roses. However, it was their 2003 release that gained them international notoriety, Dead Letters, which contained this song, 'In the Shadows.'
Whoever said that the YouTube cpu didn't have taste lied to you. Most of the time I brush off the inconceivably annoying module of recommended videos. This was a moment of exception. The song was attached to an AMV (anime music video) that took forever to load, and wasn't all too well done. And at risk of being cliche, I will say it was worth it. This was the not entirely downbeat rock song I've been craving. It's catchy, something I can sing with or just listen to, and survives the test of listening-to-it-three-times-in a-row. I only hope you can get as much enjoyment out of this song as I have.
