Children's metal band make Finnish charts

Scandanavian children's metal band Hevisaurus have appeared in the top five of their country's charts.

The costumed band's second album "Hirmuliskojen Yö" reached number 3 on the Finnish album chart. The star-studded CD features guest appearances by Perttu Kivilaakso of Apocalypta, Janne Wirman from Children of Bodom, Antti "Hyrde" Hyyrynen of Stam1na, Janne "Burton" Puurtinen of HIM, Elias Viljanen of Sonata Arctica and Nino Laurenne from Thunderstone. 

"Hirmuliskojen Yö" was released in Finland on September 15 through Sony Music. It was produced by Pasi Heikkilä and Nino Laurenne, who also helmed the band's debut album, "Jurahevin Kuninkaat". "Jurahevin Kuninkaat" came out in October 2009 and has since been certified gold in Finland for sales in excess of 15,000 copies.

According to Helsingin Sanomat, many Finnish parents also like Hevisaurus, 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.
