Eicca for one is a savvy businessman, so I'd imagine he plays a HUGE part in the decision-making. And I'm sure the rest of the band plays a large part as well. Popular radio just doesn't play songs without vocals (when was the last time you heard one in heavy rotation that wasn't techno?) so Apo's doing what they can to get some airtime. Radio airtime is where record sales come from, concert sales come from, etc. and they're in this to get paid after all, otherwise they'd still be playing heavy metal clubs in Finland on the weekend. 
I do agree with you guys though that there is a potential for new fans to be disappointed. Apo's done extremely well though in making sure a wide variety of tracks are available to listen to on their Myspace and website. The whole point of the singles is to drum up interest and draw people into researching the band more. I think in the day of the Internet, the number of people who hear one or two songs and buy the entire album is small.

Mikko: Oh well, he has a tiny voice and kinda sounds like this * imatates Antero's voice which sounded like Mickey Mouse*

Ha! I did notice it too. I thought I was going nuts though, so I didn't mention it. It's some sort of remix that's used for the video here...
@Tmarkov: If you pick me up from Memphis, I'll drive the rest of the way to Chicago... just kidding

I think it's a smart buisness move. Especially here in the US, it HAS to have vocals to be played on the radio, especially for Metal stations, which would be Apo's largest potential audience.
Whaa? They've got ANY US tourdates announced? Where did you see this? Although no one else seems to have mentioned any around Denver, *sad* I'd still like to know.
