{"product_id":"4582546591588","title":"Waltari Global Rock Japan Music CD Bonus Tracks","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\u003cbr\u003e\nContents: The Finnish crossover rock band, featuring creator Sami Uli Sirnijo (guitar), presents their 15th album in 5 years, \"Global Rock\"! Their music, centered on powerful beats and catchy vocal melodies, fuses modern heavy sounds, dance, and hip-hop, resulting in an overwhelmingly polished sound! The Japanese edition includes a bonus track: a cover of Ricky Martin's classic \"Livin' La Vida Loca\"! Waltari was formed in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, in 1986. The band started as a trio consisting of Kartsz Hattakka (vocals\/bass), Jari? Lehtinen (guitar), and Sale Suomalainen (drums). With their second album, \"MONK-PUNK\" (1991), featuring creator Sami Uli Sirnijo (guitar), they developed a mixture-style rock sound that was becoming popular at the time, influenced by bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers and Faith No More. Subsequently, they underwent member changes, including the addition of Roope Latvala (guitar), who would later join Children of Bodom, and continued to update their music, blending metal, punk, funk, industrial, and hip-hop. From their eighth album, \"RUDIUM ROUND\" (1999), they shifted towards a more melodic direction while still utilizing mixture elements, and from their tenth album, \"RARE SPECIES\" (2004), songs featuring metallic guitars became more prominent. Furthermore, in 2011, to commemorate their 25th anniversary, they released the cover album \"COVERS ALL! - 25TH ANNIVERSARY ALBUM,\" and after their 14th album, \"YOU ARE WALTARI\" (2015), they created \"GLOBAL ROCK.\" The band, which has seen a rapid increase in members since their last album, is now a large seven-member group, but their musical style follows the flow of their recent works, moving in a modern and heavy direction sonicly, with a good balance of energetic songs and mellow numbers. The songs combine edgy guitar work with pleasant beats, featuring catchy vocal melodies that are truly impressive. The sophisticated arrangements, incorporating hip-hop and dance influences in some tracks, are also a major draw. Kartsu's powerful vocals and technical guitar solos are also hallmarks of the band, resulting in a surprisingly high-quality work.
