Korpiklaani’s New Album, Lahti – Finlandby Harley Jones |
 |
 Finnish folk metal band Korpiklaani will release their new album, ‘Noita’, on May 5th in North America via Nuclear Blast. Recorded at Petrax Studio with Aksu Hanttu producing, recording and mixing again, it is the band's first CD to feature their new accordion player Sami Perttula, who played a very active role in the folk arrangements along with fiddler Tuomas Rounakari.Sami Pertulla commented: "Previously the Korpiklaani albums were played with a piano-accordion and now I play with a traditional button-accordion, which is more widely used in Finland. In the arrangements you can hear more tonal harmonies and folky accompaniments combined to the power-chords than before. It actually boosts up the uplifting feel of our music". Violinist Toumas Rounakari added: "This album has more violin solos than ever before. Violin is more in the role of a lead-guitar now just as Jonne had originally intended it to be". Korpiklaani vocalist Jonne Järvelä concluded: "We have finally managed to create the balance between folk and metal in the way I've always dreamt it to be. Thanks to Sami's arrangements and Tuomas' crazy shredding of the violin”. In March, Korpiklaani will headline the Paganfest extended shows and will additionally play a run of European festivals later this year. For further information: Gerardo@nuclearblastusa.com |
