Тексты песен Waltari
Информация о артисте
В конце восьмидесятых WALTARI (названные в честь финского романиста Мики Уалтари (Mika Waltari)), начав с радикально металлической стилистики, стали постепенно звучать как представители андеграундной культуры. Финны создали звучание, одобренное прежде всего сообществом металхэдов. Группа называла свой стиль progressive doublebassdrum punk - стиль, возникший из слияния классического хэви с death metal, кантри- и поп-элементами. Дебютный альбом "Monk Punk " появился в 1991 году на маленьком финском лейбле. Вскоре WALTARI стали гостями на фестивале, посвященном Дню Независимости в Берлине, и подписали свой первый настоящий контракт. Следующий альбом "Torcha!" был закончен только двенадцать месяцев спустя, и финны провели промотур по всей Европе. Композитор Kartsy Hatakka быстро переориентировал свои композиции в более экспериментальное русло. "Кто хочет слышать старые традиционно построенные композиции много раз? Это начинает действовать на нервы уже после первого прослушивания", - говорит он. " К тому же, девяностые - период относительно нестандартных комбинаций разных жанров, пересечения стилей, смешения звуков и разнообразнейших аранжировок". С третьим альбомом "So Fine!" к WALTARI пришло международное признание; сингл с него непрестанно крутился в эфире скандинавских радиостанций. "Big Bang" был первой попыткой добиться звучания, отличного от того, которое мы выдаем на концерте", - говорит Kartsy относительно концепции четвертого альбома WALTARI.
"Никто не может воспроизвести концертную атмосферу в студии никаким образом. Можно лишь пытаться сделать это. Мы должны пробовать кое-что другое, экспериментировать и покончить с традициями". Его готовность рисковать и любовь к экспериментам обеспечила альбому хорошую прессу, и 1995 год был одним из наиболее успешных годов для группы. Kartsy написал рок-оперу "Yeah! Yeah! Die! Die! (Death Metal Symphony In Deep C)" вместе с финским дирижером Riku Niemi, в которой слился воедино широчайший диапазон стилей. Альбом вошел в немецкой Top 100. После этого пути WALTARI с их давнишним гитаристом Sami Yli-Sirni разошлись, и он был заменен на Roope Latvala, который ранее играл в группе Stone. Следующий альбом "Space Avenue" был спродюсирован Rhys Fulber (Frontline Assembly) и был началом новой эры для WALTARI. "RADIUM" теперь достойно замыкает череду их работ, и мы видим, что WALTARI - одна из наиболее впечатляющих рок/поп-групп последних десяти лет. Read more on Last.fm.

Waltari is a musical group from Finland. Waltari is known for its diversity and combination of music styles, frequently combining punk, pop, heavy metal, rock, electronic, funk, progressive rock and rap. It is this diversity, as well as singer/bassist and band co-founder Kärtsy Hatakka's extremely distinctive voice, that gives Waltari its unique sound.
Most of the band's music is written by Hatakka. Waltari's lyrics often deal with personal feelings of anxiety, loneliness and the cruelty of the world, often with heavy irony and sarcasm.
The name Waltari is a reference to the popular Finnish author Mika Waltari, a favourite author of guitarist Jariot Lehtinen.
Waltari was formed in 1986 in Helsinki, Finland, by Kärtsy Hatakka (vocals and bass), Jariot Lehtinen (guitars) and Sale Suomalainen (drums). Sami Yli-Sirniö joined as second guitarist in 1989, a year after the release of their first EP, Mut Hei.
Their first album, Monk Punk was released in 1991. As the title suggests, this album was mostly punk. Their next album Torcha! (1992) and it was with this album that Waltari started blending various musical styles into the sound that would become their own.
After releasing a compilation of early work under the title Pala Leipää (1993), the band went on to release So Fine! (1994), an album similar to Torcha!. Their next album, Big Bang (1995) is to date their biggest success. The album concentrates on mixing techno with heavy metal.
In 1995 Roope Latvala (current second guitarist of Children of Bodom) joined the band, replacing Sami Yli-Sirniö. During this time, Hatakka was working with conductor Riku Niemi on a project combining heavy metal with classical music. This project eventually became known as Yeah! Yeah! Die! Die! Death Metal Symphony in Deep C. The show was performed in 1995, and the album was released in 1996.
The year 1997 saw Space Avenue, a more progressive work containing more electronic drums, as well as a collaboration with Apocalyptica. In 1998, in honour of the band's ten-year anniversary, the band released a compilation titled Decade.
In 1999 Hatakka was working on yet another metal/classical collaboration, and this gave rise to the stage show Evangelicum. This production differed from Yeah! Yeah! Die! Die! in that it contained more than just music: the stage show contained music, ballet and a light show. An album of Evangelicum was not released.
Waltari's next album Radium Round (1999), featured a strong pop influence. After Radium Round, the band passed out of the public eye, working on less main-stream releases such as the Metal / Yoik crossover Channel Nordica (2000) and the punk EP Back To Persepolis (2001). However, these releases were very hard to obtain, and for a while Waltari only survived through its live shows. In 2001, the band's old guitarist Sami Yli-Sirniö returned, and Roope Latvala left the band.
In 2004 Waltari came back with an all-new studio album, Rare Species. The album was well received by critics, and an extensive tour put Waltari back on the map.
Waltari released their newest album called "Below Zero" in fall of 2009.
