The Finnish band Waltari to celebrate its 30-year anniversary with a new album

Waltari from Finland is getting ready to celebrate their 30-year anniversary, and for this special occasion the band will release a new album – “3rd Decade – The Anniversary Edition” – out on November 26 via Metalville Records.

Space. The final frontier. For Waltari, this space has always been music – galaxies of sound beyond tropes and trends – and in 2021, the Finish groundbreakers are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their very first space journey in true style.

This means that even though a best-of compilation might be in order on such an occasion, Waltari would not be themselves if they hadn´t cooked up something special. And unusual the album turns out to be: For “3rd Decade – The Anniversary Edition”, the group revisited material from all their creative phases, choosing some of their finest songs to give them an overhaul with the help of like-minded musicians from every stripe. Waltari let their guests shine instead of stepping into the spotlight themselves.

Afraid of nothing but stagnation, the band once again proves that it can still live up to the original crossover ethos at any time, experimenting and finding new alleys to sneak into, all the while honoring its legacy with one eye looking ahead into an exciting future.
