KORPIKLAANI | RELEASE LYRIC VIDEO FOR 'BEER BEER' FEAT. ALESTORM'S CHRISTOPHER BOWES, ANNOUNCE MORE TOUR DATES
2018 will go down in the history as an important year for KORPIKLAANI. The band celebrated its 15th anniversary, released their 10th album 'Kulkija' and finally wrapped up the year with a successful North American tour in December.
2019 will be just as busy. The Finnish Folk Metal Superstars will start the year with an 8-date Finnish tour and will be joined on stage with a brass section from Lahti Sinfonia. With KORPIKLAANI attracting a wide and varied audience, it is especially nice that the tour includes also two all-ages shows at Nosturi in Helsinki and Finlandia Klubi in Lahti. The show in Helsinki will be opened by WALTARI and the Norwegian TROLLFEST, while all Finnish shows will also be supported by PROFANE OMEN who recently released their latest album 'Ooka'.
After the Finnish tour, KORPIKLAANI will continue their worldwide 'Kulkija' -tour with a month-long European run with TURISAS and TROLLFEST and in May, the band will once again head down to Australia and New Zealand.
Just recently, Pyynikin Craft Brewery unveiled a tasty KORPIKLAANI lager and to celebrate this occasion, the band will release a special tour edition of their new album 'Kulkija' ("Wanderer"), which doesn't only include the regular songs, but also a bonus CD titled 'Beer Beer'. This disk, only available in the physical package, includes 14 versions of KORPIKLAANI's iconic song 'Beer Beer', graced by the likes of Christopher Bowes (ALESTORM), Steve 'Zetro' Souza (EXODUS), Andreas "Gerre" Geremia (TANKARD), Jesper Anastasiadis (TURISAS), TROLLFEST, HEIDEVOLK and many more of their friends' bands and musicians.
The first taster is released today in the form of a lyric video to 'Beer Beer' and you can listen to the track with Christopher Bowes, here: https://youtu.be/pYP-QPPt_p0 Download or stream the single, here: http://nblast.de/KorpiklaaniBeerBeer
The more ethereal band Jonne, led by the KORPIKLAANI lead vocalist Jonne Järvelä, will unveil a single trilogy started by the single 'Kaiho' that was released in November and also featured WALTARI vocalist Kärtsy Hatakka. The trilogy will be completed with the releases of 'Tuhka' in February and 'Autere' in March. Both of these songs will also feature vocalist Riikka Jaakkola, familiar from the series Voice Of Finland. All three songs deal with the emotions of death and longing and will be available for streaming and through other digital service channels.

Only two weeks are left until Korpiklaani release their new studio album 'KULKIJA' ("Wanderer")! To celebrate, the band has unleashed the 4th single from their upcoming 14-song record today, entitled 'Aallon alla'. It's accompanied by a lyric video, including studio material as well as live footage from their latest show at Summer Breeze (Dinkelsbühl, Germany), filmed by WDR Rockpalast. 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
KORPIKLAANI - announce new studio album "KULKIJA" Finnish Folk Metal Superstars Korpiklaani are happy to announce the release of their upcoming 10th studio album entitled 'KULKIJA' ("Wanderer"), on September 7th, 2018 through Nuclear Blast. Its cover was designed by Jan Yrlund (BATTLE BEAST, MANOWAR etc.), who has already created several artworks for previous albums and singles for the band. Founding member Jonne Järvelä commented: "We've never been as satisfied with a final result as we are with 'KULKIJA'. We tried to keep it very natural, and that's what you'll soon be able to hear clearly. Like the wanderer, this album is a journey, one that makes you feel good. Stay tuned!" Accordionist Sami Perttula added: "'KULKIJA' isn't just a collection of songs, it's a "real" album with a unique atmosphere guiding the listeners through a long journey. All songs were well prepared in advance and nothing needed to be arranged in the studio. Tuomas [fiddle] & I had lots of space to develop and play the folk arrangements." @official_korpiklaani #Korpiklaani #Kulkija #FolkMetal #Finland #NuclearBlast
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
