Artist: Korpiklaani

There are certain things that you just never hear anyone say; I've never met someone who's stoked on the new Nickelback, never heard anyone say they want to use Papyrus as their default font (Lamb of God not withstanding), never heard anyone say they miss dial-up modems... and I've never met anyone cop to being a [...]

Here's (what I believe are) our last great batch of concert photos from 2011! The always-reliable Miikka Skaffari caught pics of Korpiklaani, Arkona, Polkadot Cadaver, and Forged in Fire blowing the roof off the DNA Lounge in San Francisco last month, and, well... as per usual, Miikka captured the best possible views from the pit. See all of [...]

. . . There's really no way to win anyone over with Korpiklaani's music. Jerry Garcia once compared the music of the Grateful Dead to being like licorice: either you really like it, or you think it's disgusting. Korpiklaani are much the same way, although one could take the licorice flavoring metaphor further and compare them to absinthe (given their renowned alcoholic intake). Those who like Korpiklaani think they're insanely fun and will joik and dance to their music for hours on end, whereas those who dislike their music will almost always dismiss them as being [...]

As you probably know by now, Jucifer live on the road - literally! A truly mobile unit, the savage sludge metal duo are North American nomads who rest their head nightly in the same RV that gets them from show to show. So I was surprised to learn that Jucifer were crossing the pond for [...]

Ed eccoci alla nostra seconda serata del Contro-Sanremo metallaro 2011 dove, come abbiamo fatto ieri , presenteremo ben tre video per soddisfare l'apparato uditivo dei fedeli utenti che preferiscono ascoltare un paio di chitarre taglienti piuttosto che le aggraziate voci dei concorrenti in gara al Festival di Sanremo 2011 ! Stasera abbiamo intitolato il nostro Contro-Sanremo "Melodiosi e rumorosi" perché, a modo nostro, anche noi "metallari duri e puri" amiamo molto la melodia...ma, appunto, a "modo nostro"! Per questo abbiamo scelto la recentissima Tequila dei Korpiklaani (folkeggiante e ritmata al punto giusto), [...]

Mi è sembrato molto strano che, in tutto questo lunghissimo 2010, i Korpiklaani non abbiamo fatto sentire la loro "voce". Certo, la band di Lahti (Finlandia) è sempre in giro (sono anche "sbarcati" in Italia, andando a fare una tappa nell'assolatissima Basilicata di inizio agosto) ma, questo "inusuale" silenzio discografico è, in effetti, una cosa molto "particolare" per un gruppo attivissimo come i Korpiklaani. Ebbene, come volevasi dimostrare, i Korpiklaani dovevano solo ricaricare "le batterie" e, dopo un anno di "silenzio", il "Clan della foresta" ha annunciato l'uscita, per il 4 febbraio 2011, di un nuovo [...]

German pagan metal band Adorned Brood has been around since 1994 but I hadn't heard the band until the release of their current album Noor . This is the band's sixth full-length and it is out on Black Bards Enterainment label. I'm not that familiar with many of the bands in the pagan/folk genre so I really don't have the background to make any comparisons about Adorned Blood's sound. A few years back, a buddy took me to a pagan metal show at Highline Ballroom and, honestly, most of the bands didn't leave [...]

Korpiklaani like to sing about beer and vodka. Most of the people at Bloodstock like to drink beer and vodka. Do we really need to spell it out why these two are such a perfect fit? Click here to see the rest of our coverage of Bloodstock Open Air 2010.

Skyforger Kurbads Metal Blade 26 April 2010 by Tom Dare While Finntroll and Ensiferum still deal in the Nordic knees-up music, Eluveitie have already shown that folk metal is a style of music capable of being taken a mite more seriously than as just providing the soundtrack to a piss-up at Bloodstock or Wacken. Latvia's Skyforger have now returned after [...]

by Andrew Wilhelm (CHI)Chicago, it's time for some bad romance.The big event this weekend is, without a doubt, Lady Gaga's three-night run at the Rosemont Theatre. Now, why the fuck am I mentioning Miss GaGa on a metal blog? Because Jonas Akerlund, the director of her "Paparazzi" video, once drummed for Bathory. Yes, THAT Bathory. And our buddies at Metalsucks posted that she even has a little

More KORPIKLAANI videos We conclude our coverage of this year's Pagan Fest with headliners, KORPIKLAANI. We caught the band while they were in the middle of a mid-afternoon Smirinoff Ice. I know what you're thinking: "that's a pansy drink!". But this is just their pre-game for the real stuff. Korpiklaani are the most Finnish metal band [...]

Vodka I Korpiklaani non perdono tempo e si danno subito da fare per promuovere al meglio il nuovo singolo Vodka , primo estratto dell'album Karkelo che uscirà il 26 giugno per la Nuclear Blast . Il video è molto simpatico e mostra "la gang del bosco" (Korpiklaani, appunto!) suonare in una foresta digitale, con l'inquadratura della telecamera che si muove al ritmo forsennato del folk metal dei sei finnici. Da notare le divertentissime faccette del cantante e il look degli stessi componenti della band, molto "boscaiolo" [...]
