Finnish Children's Metal Band HEVISAURUS Enjoys Massive Success
June 24, 2010, 14 years ago
According to Helsingin Sanomat, the band HEVISAURUS is the hottest thing in Finnish children’s music at the moment.
Many parents like the band as well, as it differs from adult heavy metal only with respect to the lyrics, and the fact that instead of musicians adorned with heavy metal attire and makeup, the music is performed by four dinosaurs and a dragon.
“Adults have come to say that now their summer road trips have been saved”, says Hevisaurus spokesman and drummer Mirka Rantanen.
The snowball started rolling last autumn, when the band released an album, after which Hevisaurus has played to full houses. Purppuramysteeri (“Purple Mystery”), a musical produced together with the Comedy Theatre Arena, drew big audiences in the early summer.
Now their album has hit number five on the charts, and a new one is in the making.
