Waltari

Waltari formed in Finland in 1986, with Kärtsy Hatakka on vocals and guitar. Their first album, 'Torcha!', came out the following year and mixed heavy guitars with electronic rhythms. The band's sound was already pulling in different directions from the start.

In 1994, they released 'Yeah! Yeah! Die! Die! Death Metal Symphony in Deep C', which included the track 'Infinite Dreams'. That song became their most recognizable piece, a slower, orchestral ballad that stood out from their usual industrial and metal leanings. Other songs from their catalog, like 'Back To The Bottom' and 'Below Zero', show the heavier, more aggressive side of their work.

Waltari kept putting out albums over the next few decades, including 'Big Bang' in 1995 and 'Space Avenue' in 1997. Their lineup has included Sami Yli-Sirniö on bass, Jariot Lehtinen on guitar, and Ville Vehviläinen on drums. The band's approach has always been eclectic, never settling into one genre for too long.
