Finnish Children's 'Metal' Band HEVISAURUS Enjoys Massive Success

June 24, 2010

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 with the release of the band's debut album, after which HEVISAURUS 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 No. 5 on the chart, and a new CD is said to be in the works.
