Biography
H枚yry-kone was a Finnish avant-prog band from Helsinki, active in the 1990s. Founded in 1991 and completed when tenor and violinist Topi Lehtipuu joined in 1994, the band paired twin guitars, bass and drums with violin and cello, an instrumentation closer to a chamber ensemble than a rock group. Their two albums on #Ad Perpetuam Memoriam#, 'Hy枚nteisi盲 voi rakastaa' in 1995 and 'Huono parturi' in 1997, jump between progressive rock, metal, jazz and classical ideas, with Finnish lyrics and Lehtipuu's operatic singing as the defining sound. After Lehtipuu left for Paris in 1998 the band broke up, and several members regrouped in *Alamaailman Vasarat*.
