Dinosaur
metal: arguably the best thing to come out ofmusic
since the skinflute.
Toot toot tootle toot!
Hevisaurus was a band made up of members from legendary band
Dio and Sonata Arctica. Their goal was to recrod heavy metal
for children. After an intense brainstorming session, someone
thought of buying a bunch of dinosaur suits and the idea stuck.
The music itself is in Finnish, but the lyrics usually deal
with popular children's stories and, you know, dinosaurs.
Because that's the heart of metal.
There's a worthwhile video of a Hevisaurus concert after the
jump, and I've gotta admit: I rocked out with my
dino-loving
peener
lighter out. Damn yeah I set the couch on fire! And as soon as
I finish this I'm calling the fire department.
