Waltari are present at the Finnish rock/metal scene since 1986, and their first release was a self-titled EP back in 1988. However, they consider Monk-Punk as an album that defines their style, so that's why their newly announced anniversary album is entitled 3rd Decade - Anniversary Edition. It consists of re-recorded songs from their previously released albums (as well as remixes & new track), featuring several guest musicans with whom they collaborated for this special release.
