Metalmusic for children?

In Finland no question of age! The band Hevisaurus is performing
already for very little metal-heads. The debut album "Jurahevin
kuninkaat", which means "Kings of  Jurassic Metal" peaked No. 5
in the Finnish Charts and was nomitated for the Emma Award 2010.

Last year they released their third album called "Räyh!" where they
worked again with some famous names from the metal-scene.

Metal Music in Finland became socially acceptable since a long
time. It's omnipresent. The music scene in Finland is generally
nostaglic and melancholic, coming from a big influence by the
traditional tunes of Kalevala and Pelimanni music.

Finland is known for their different sub-genres of Metal Music.
There has been some famous exports in the last decades like
HIM, The Rasmus, Apocalyptica, Waltari, Amorphis, Finntroll
or Nightwish. Since Finnland won the Eurovision Songcontest
with Lordi's "Hard Rock Hallelujah" in the year 2006, everybody
in Europe knows that this country is a Nation of Rock!

Metal Music is an integral part of the finnish culture and this
explains the success of doing Metal Music for Children. This
lead us back to Hevisaurus. The band was founded 2009 by the
Metal drummer Mirka Rantanen, who played with Thunderstones.

He was inspired by his son who asked him as he looked on a old
albummcover of his father "Did they do this when there were still
dinosaurs?" This was the start of the idea to do a Metal Band for
kids with dinosaurs costumes. They play dressed up as four
dinosaurs and one dragon.

Their concerts are just one hour in the afternoon and have a
maximum of 85 decibel. After the concerts children can meet
their heroes in a signature session. The lyrics are made so that
children have something to relate with.

In 2011 the band split because of some disagreement with
Sony. Rantanen found with three other members a new band
called Sauruxet. The old singer stayed with the Label under
the old name.

Radio Trilllingo greets all our finnish readers out there with
a "Mano cornuta".
