Northern Kings are a Finnish symphonic power metal cover band supergroup, made up of four musicians who have already become well known in their existing bands: Jarkko Ahola from Teräsbetoni, Marco Hietala from Nightwish and Tarot, Tony Kakko from Sonata Arctica and Juha-Pekka Leppäluoto from Charon. Their first single, "We Don't Need Another Hero", is a cover of a song written by Terry Britten and Graham Lyle, and performed by Tina Turner for the 1985 film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
