Finnish Folk Metal Superstars KORPIKLAANI are currently in the studio, working on the follow-up of 2015’s Noita, before they’ll embark on an extensive European headline run with support from Russia’s ARKONA, Dutch men HEIDEVOLK as well as Norwegian Trve Balkan Metallers TROLLFEST. The billing will be completed with EVERTALE, BLACK MESSIAH and THE PRIVATEER on select dates.
Now, KORPIKLAANI have launched a first trailer in which Jonne, Matson and Sami are greeting from the studio. Check it out, here:
Recently, KORPIKLAANI released their first ever live Blu-ray/DVD+2CD package titled Live at Masters of Rock, last Friday through Nuclear Blast. The band launched a live clip on YouTube. Check out “Lempo (live)” HERE.
Order Live at Masters of Rock physically now HERE or order Live at Masters of Rock digitally or stream it HERE.
After hearing the title of the package, it’s easy to conclude that it was recorded at the identically named festival in Vizovice, Czech Republic. But there’s even more to be excited about, this release doesn’t just include KORPIKLAANI‘s show from 2016, it even has a second full show from 2014 as bonus feature. The 2016 concert features guest appearances from Tero Hyväluoma (additional fiddler) as well as Toni Perttula (additional accordion player), Sami‘s identical twin brother. Mixing of Live at Masters of Rock was handled by front man Jonne Järvelä himself, mastering was done by Svante Forsbäck (RAMMSTEIN etc.)
