Head First

Head First, the only Finnish funk metal act from the early 90’s worth giving a damn is reincarnating its existence after 30 years.

Waltari’s Kärtsy Hatakka was the leader of the band at the same time when his other cross over monster Waltari was starting to raise its head in the European markets. Head First played lots of shows in Finland in that time creating a good following with their danceable mixture of funk, old school metal and prog rock. Since Waltari started to eat up all of Kärtsy´s time in the 90’s, Head First was buried and stayed like that as late as 2017. Kärtsy then joined forces with the original members guitarist Jaani Marttila and drummer Sami Timonen with Jesper Anastasiadis from the metal act Turisas joining in on bass to start this reincarnation of the project.

They stepped straight into the studio to create new music based on their original funk metal style. And now this marvelous material is yours to hear.

Step right into the good times of old school funk metal with a fresh edge and burst out your mind with groovy beats, virtuoso playing and heart-racing energy!
