Akira Takasaki Takes Part in Tuska Festival Anniversary Song

Tuska Open Air Metal Festival is celebrating its 20th birthday. In honor of this, the event has produced a seven-minute long signature song titled Tuska20 – The Anniversary Song.

The guitarist of LOUDNESS, Akira Takasaki, was one of the special international guests featured in this project. Several top names in Finnish metal also took part in making the song, including Esa Holopainen (Amorphis), Jaska Raatikainen, Alexi Laiho and Daniel Freyberg (Children of Bodom), Lordi, Timo Kotipelto (Stratovarius) and many others.

The organization has stated that all proceeds from the song will be collected in the "Tuska 20 Years fund" and donated to charity. More information on the campaign can be found on the crowdfunding website FundYou. There are small rewards available for donations. Five euros will buy you a digital download of the song. Fans who donate 5 euros will receive a Tuska20 – Anniversary Song screen saver and those who contribute 35 euros will be thanked with a shout out on their social media accounts.
