Big Bang by Waltari

Big Bang is the fifth studio album by the Finnish avant-garde progressive metal band Waltari, released in 1995. It is difficult to pigeon hole Waltari into a specific genre, and this is very true with this album. It is a highly diverse production, encompassing Death Metal and Europop. The album produced two singles, both with promotional videos. The first of these, Atmosfear has within it elements of Thrash Metal and Dance Music. The catchy ballad The Stage was also released as a single with accompanying video. These singles account for two of the three Waltari compositions to reach the top 20 in the Finnish charts. Atmosfear peaked at 6 and The Stage at 15. The album itself reached a high of 7 in the national charts and was their second most successful album.
