Buy It Now
Sold: $319.20
Seller’s comments: Latvala Bros “Plays Wooden Eye” CD (PLUTOCD 7007) released 1994 on Plutonium in Finland only. Hyper RARE Finnish instrumental thrash of the highest order. Starlighthoney thinks this is the best instrumental metal album ever. Forget about Yngwie, his clones and all those big haired tappers. The star here is ex-Stone guitarist Roope Latvala, today of course in CHILDREN OF BODOM. He is is backed up by his brother Jussi on drums as well as Petteri Hirvanen (Annica, Jackflash, Project Forever) on keyboards. Amazing musicianship, lots of twisted harmonies and SHEER METAL POWER. This CD will grab you by your balls and swing you around. 10 songs. Stunning MINT condition. Only a few hundred of these where pressed so needless to say it’s damn rare.
