When Finnish visionaries Waltari released their album Yeah! Yeah! Die! Die! Death Metal Symphony in Deep C back in 1995, the music world stood in disbelief. Kärtsy Hatakka and his crew achieved the unthinkable—fusing crushing death metal with the grandeur of a symphonic orchestra and operatic vocals, long before such crossovers were even imagined by others. This wasn’t just a cheap gimmick; it was a total artistic manifesto that redefined the progressive approach to extreme music.
This year marks exactly 30 years since this visionary masterpiece was unleashed, and Brutal Assault will host the only anniversary celebration of this milestone! Waltari will take the stage in the Fortress with a special lineup assembled exclusively for this occasion, joined by the Bohemian Symphony Orchestra Prague. It is a tribute to the courage, creativity, and defiant spirit of a band that never feared going against the grain.
