Korpiklaani presents the 3rd single off their new album, Kulkija, a happier song compared to the previous songs, entitled "Henkselipoika". To support the new track, the Finns have recorded a nostalgic video with director Markku Kirves, who has already worked with the band for their 'Rauta', 'Vodka' and 'Tequila' music videos.




Jonne said: "The video was shot in Kuhmoinen around the Huhtala torp, which is also portrayed on the cover of the album Kulkija. It is is a bit exceptional with a slight home-made feeling to it. Many of the actors are actually family members of other contributors. These include Cane's father with his wife, my daughter Tinja and her friend Sanni, the director's both sons Konsta and Otto and so on. The video also shows Finnish nature and the idyllic countryside at its best. This might also seem rather exotic for Korpiklaani fans from outside of the Nordic countries."

About 'Henkselipoika' ("A Boy In Suspenders"): The narrator in the song is a farmhand, who watches maids working while himself remains lazy during a warm summer day. He would like to have one of the maids as his partner, but is unable to decide who. Fond of parties and fun, the farmhand ponders whether the maids have noticed him.

Last week, Korpiklaani announced a 2018 North American tour with Arkona. Now the band reveals another tour - this time their European fans will undoubtedly be happy about the new dates. Korpiklaani will embark on an extensive co-headline run across the continent with no less than their fellow countrymen Turisas in February and March 2019. Opening support will once again come from Norwegian metallers Trollfest. The whole itinerary can be found below.
