NEW RELEASE. The Hirvi, Old Skool Killspree

Rewind back 30 years. In the late 1980s the Helsinki thrash metal scene was booming. All over the Finland capital young metal musicians, inspired by the antics of pre-Black album Metallica and pre-Countdown to Extinction Megadeth, were organizing thrash shows and releasing demos. The teens enjoyed their music on public youth houses and squats, intoxicated by the authentic thrash sound as well as cheap liquor. Among the premium bands of the era was The Hirvi, roughly translated as ”The Moose”. Led by their 19-year old front man Juha Virtanen, The Hirvi excited the audiences and gained notoriety as one of the hardest partying bands in the scene – and then they disappeared as fast as they rose to fame.

30 years later Mr. Virtanen has returned to finish what he once started: accompanied by the original bassist and the drummer of the first The Hirvi incarnation, The Hirvi releases their old songs finally put on a record, by no means outdated: Old Skool Killspree is hi tech by execution, old school by design. From this combo might just have been conceived the most thrilling metal album of the year. The Moose is definitely back!
