Korpiklaani - New Album Details Revealed


Original news, posted on 24.01.2009

Finnish Pelimanni-Metallers Korpiklaani have issued the following update: "In 2008 we have been quite busy. We have had two successful tours: the Paganfest Tour and the Finnish Fire Tour. We recorded and released our fifth album "Korven Kuningas". In the whole we played over 80 gigs, that means about one gig in every four days. We had a lot of fun, met many old friends and made new ones. So, this has been a pretty good year for us. 2009 promises to become even better; a long cherished dream of us becomes fulfilled: we will tour the USA and Canada in Paganfest 2! We are invited for Wacken Open Air on their 20th anniversary festival, and many more gigs are in the works. In February we will enter the studio again, to record a brand new album. These last days of 2008, we will make a small tour with In Extremo in Germany, and end the year in Nosturi, Helsinki, on a new year's celebration concert with our friends from Moonsorrow and Kiuas. We wish you all a happy new year and hope to see you around somewhere."

The new Korpiklaani album is due early summer this year and it will be entitled "Karkelo" ("Party" in English).


Furthermore, some of the band's songs appear in the new Bam Margera movie. You can see a few clips here (Reindeer cock and reindeer's eye ball eating), and more here and here ("Viima" starting 4:50min).


UPDATED, on 10.04.2009 (thanks to Balls of Jericho)

You can view the cover artwork for the new Korpiklaani album "Karkelo" (release date June 26th) at this location. The "Karkelo" cover art was designed by Jan "Örkki" Yrlund again.


UPDATE (thanks to Sjuk and worm_is_gloaming)

As stated by the band: "Time to reveal the tracklist of our upcoming album "Karkelo" (release date June 26th)! But before we do, we have some other hot news for you. On May 25th we will release a single titled "Vodka", on which will be two songs that will absolutely boost every party: "Vodka" and "Juodaan Viinaa"! And even better, this single will also appear as picture vinyl. "Karkelo" will appear as audio cd, as digipack and as picture vinyl."

Great title but I prefer Korven Kuningas, since "Korven" means "the sausage" in Swedish, ehm...

No! Bands like Motorhead always released the same album and they kick ass.
I'm stoked too. Hopefully this new one will have a drinking song (unlike the last one).
The last two videos in the article were removed lol.

I wish they would spend some time one their albums instead of just pumping them out year after year. Tales along this road was straight, but not much more has come out of them since then. Too bad.

You want drinking songs, well, "Vodka", "Juodaan Viinaa" (Let's Drink Booze), that pints of beer song and kohmelo (hang over) have something to do with drinking.
