Pre-Order 'Kulkija': nuclearblast.com/korpiklaani-kulkija Pre-save the album on Spotify: nblast.de/KORPIKLAANIPreSave About 'Aallon alla' ("Under The Wave"): A song of the drowning one. The lake and the sea are unpredictable. They are the oarsman's grave. No wings or riches are of help when the drowning man falls into waves. The oarsman in the story cannot hear the cry of the drowning one. The waves can sometimes feel safe: they drift you silently towards eternity. @official_korpiklaani #Korpiklaani #TheWayfarer #Kulkija #Kotikonnut #Harmaja #AallonAlla #NuclearBlast #FinnishMetal #FolkMetal #JonneJärvelä #Jonne #TuomasRounaka

Brand new Korpiklaani video! 'Harmaja' comes off 'KULKIJA' (Wanderer), their new album set to be released on September 7th. Pre-Order 'Kulkija': nuclearblast.com/korpiklaani-kulkija About 'Harmaja', the band's frontman, Jonne, says: "'Harmaja' is an unusual KORPIKLAANI song with its slow tempo and emotional strength. The song is about longing and I managed to charge it with a great emotional atmosphere. The text refers to 'Sylvian Joululaulu', a well known poem about longing by Zachris Topelius. The video was shot in the pool of the Maritime Safety Training Centre in Lohja. The water was so cold that even constant visits to the sauna couldn't stop the coldness from creeping into my bones. It was very difficult to remember the lyrics, keep my head above the surface of the water and sing – while at the same time trying to look like I wasn’t freezing to death. All for art! We managed to create a nice contrast in the video with the angel. Director Ville Lipiäinen found her accidentally while grocery shopping. I don't know if he stumbled on her wings or what, but the angel also flew to the same pool in Lohja. The story is about a man missing his dead wife who then returns from the afterlife for one last goodbye, so that the poor man can go on with his life. He manages to drag himself out of the stormy waters back to dry land. Lipiäinen knew exactly what was needed for the video and managed to create just the right atmosphere. The shots change slowly, there is no rush with anything and the story stays just right above the surface until the more stormy ending.” About 'Harmaja' (The Grey): The blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla), the bird in the song, has been unable to migrate south because of a broken wing. The song depicts anxiety and the fading memory. A Finnish poet Zachris Topelius wrote in 1853 a poem titled 'Sylvian joululaulu' about homesickness which is referred to by 'laulu kaipauksen' (a song of yearning) in the song. The song can also mean the "grayness" when a partner of an old couple dies. @official_korpiklaani #Korpiklaani #Kulkija #Kotikonnut #Harmaja #NuclearBlast #FinnishMetal #FolkMetal #JonneJärvelä #Jonne #TuomasRounaka
