PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
Ever since the release of their debut album "Spirit Of The Forest" in 2003, Finnish traditional folk metal pioneers KORPIKLAANI have continuously made their way to the top of the scene. Whether you take their early works such as "Voice Of Wilderness" (2005), "Tales Along This Road" (2006) and "Tervaskanto" (2007) or listen to the records of their Nuclear Blast era - namely "Korven Kuningas" (2008), "Karkelo" (2009), "Ukon Wacka" (2011) and "Manala" (2012) - you'll always conclude: KORPIKLAANI have established their very own style. It is this unique mixture of time-honoured folk tunes mixed with classic metal and rock and roll attitude that makes it impossible for every connoisseur of high-class handmade music to elude their almost magnetic attraction. There are not many metal bands that have the ability to get people dancing at a metal show or festival, yet Korpiklaani manage this on their journeys around the world. Their 2015 album 'Noita' was a continuation of this positive, fun, energetic tradition that is Korpiklaani. Promising to get you dancing on your feet, banging your fists and most importantly, having a good time, it was also the first album to feature new accordion player Sami Perttula. Sami had a remarkable influence on the traditional folk arrangements, along with Fiddler Tuomas Rounakari, making a perfect balance between Folk and Metal as frontman Jonne always envisioned. Or as Metal Hammer succinctly described it "a collection of pumping folk songs underpinned by crunching Metal guitars." However, it's playing live in a sweaty club or on a sunlit festival stage that the band's music comes to life. Not least when fuelled by beer. This release features 2 live sets from the Masters Of Rock festival in the Czech Republic from 2014 and 2016 showcasing the Finns in all their Folk Metal circus troupe glory.
