While the semifinals are running their course and prequalified finalists such as Ugaly are participating as mere spectators, let's prepare for Iron Maiden's upcoming reappearance by reminiscing the first of their earlier attempts as Ugaly's fourth entry:
No single musical act runs a monopoly in Ugly charts, but Iron Maiden comes pretty damn close. Always by the far the single most successful group in the nation, even long before the contest debut, it was only a matter of time before Lurkovision would convince them to participate. With inspiration from their cameo in the previous edition's national final, where Mono emerged victorious, the next national final would be an all-around Iron Maiden show; one artist, three songs. Among the two songs that didn't make it were Aces High, the high tempo opener about World War II aviation combat from the classic 1984 album Powerslave, and Man on the Edge from 1995's The X-Factor with the polarizing Blaze Bayley on vocals, inspired by the 1993 thriller picture Falling Down starring Michael Douglas. The clear winner, however, with 9 votes against 1 each, was The Wicker Man, the opener from the 2000 album Brave New World, the first new album after the band's reunification with legendary singer Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith, and the beginning of the band's ongoing progressive years. The song takes its inspiration from the 1973 cult movie of the same name (later remade in 2006 to dreadful critical response), showing much of the same imagery in promotional material. As Ugaly's entry for the summery edition of NSC 7, the second edition with a semifinal, The Wicker Man didn't make much of a splash at a far-from-qualificational (but still honorable for the time and context) 25th place out of 28 semifinal participants, but it did make a fair few fans. Within Ugaly, The Wicker Man is still a very popular piece, but with much a life of its own. Seldom remembered as an NSC entry, the song is more commonly considered a great hit from the masters of heavy metal.

Ugaly's 55th consecutive entry:
The Go! Team, a genre defying indie six-piece from England, known for both heavy sampling and live instrumentation, have been standing by for some time to get their chance to enter the stage. With the prequalified Iron Maiden business completed (for now), Lurkovision has finally decided to give them their chance! Quite unlike anything ever sent by Ugaly before, Milk Crisis is a catchy affair well worth the experience. Stay prepared for potential stuck-in-your-head moments. A massive ongoing streak stands behind the nation and the group knows they've got to give it their all to keep that streak alive, but most of all we're hoping for a happy experience in the same vein as this happy song!

Well after the scandals with Dalisska 56 and Alinta 57...I didn't think that we could have had two scandals in the same edition! You should have made it!
You should have made it!

Next up, the 56th entry of Ugaly:
Despite a crushing defeat in the previous edition, Ugaly still knows that they've got to continue doing what they do best: represent themselves with style! This time, the Slovenian group Laibach are taking the helm to fulfill this goal. Slightly controversial and very extravagant, this group that inspired popular acts such as Rammstein is a long-running and characteristic band with many ambiguous, or even bizarre, political references and a distinct industrial style. They're here to reign the stage and will invite you to dance along with them. Will you accept the invitation, will you Tanz mit Laibach?

Ugly entry #57:
World of Warcraft, the incredibly famous MMORPG by American game developers Blizzard Entertainment, should need no introduction. It has recently regained a lot of its popularity in Ugaly with its third expansion waiting right around the corner. The game has been tributed by the nation before, back in NSC 27, and following the current trend Lurkovision has figured to give it another moment in the musical spotlight, again with a fan creation. Cranius is a player-songwriter known for his many WoW-related compositions, the earliest of which is this lament of a human mage about the class' wardrobe options. Despite wearing a Big Blue Dress, we'll get to the instance... er, stage... to kick ass, gain honor points and unlock achievements!
DING!

The New Acadian delegation would like to present the Ugaly nation with a present
In terms of WoW-related compositions, we also can't forget Dalisska's NSC 42 classic, which achieved top6 heights, so maybe Ugaly can with this too?
It's a really fun song with awesome lyrics
I only hope you don the appropriate attire if you ever sing this karaoke Joch ^^ Good luck!

It is the 58th entry of Ugaly:
Finland, an endless mine for metal, has shown a lot of what it can do in this contest already, most recently in last edition through Rumia, but it still contains so much unused potential. This time through Ugaly, for the first time in 32 editions, sauna-country presents Ruoska, tough guys with a style that most people might find familiar with certain German associations. Showing their smithing skills in a fireball factory, they'll be performing Alasin ("anvil") to smelt the audience in Berceniland and forge them all into true metalheads!
