Tulikoira is the nineteenth album recorded by Finnish experimental rock band Circle. Released on CD in 2005 by Ektro Records, the album saw the band incorporate elements of both drone and black metal into the krautrock sound of previous albums like Prospekt. Proclaiming themselves the "New Wave of Finnish Heavy Metal", in honour of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement, Circle here made explicit their long-held love of 70s and 80s heavy metal music. A re-release by Headspin Records in 2007 features a bonus 7" containing material from the band's Earthworm EP recorded with American singer Bruce Duff. Both songs were re-released on the 2008 album Hollywood which also features Duff on vocals.
