KORPIKLAANI: Japanese Bonus Track Available For Streaming

September 20, 2008

Finnish folk metallers KORPIKLAANI have posted the instrumental song "Kipakka" on their MySpace page. The track was originally released as the bonus cut on the Japanese version of the band's latest album, "Korven Kuningas", which came out on March 21, 2008 via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD entered the album chart in the band's home country at position No. 16.

"Korven Kuningas" was released as a limited first edition with bonus tracks and on white colored vinyl. There is also a strictly limited digipak version (limited and numbered to 500 copies) which includes a drinking horn on a wall holder.

KORPIKLAANI, BATTLELORE, KIVIMETSÄN DRUIDI and FALCHION will team up for the "Finnish Fire" tour in November/December.

David Priest of OnTrackMagazine.com conducted an interview this past spring with KORPIKLAANI bassist Jarkko Aaltonen. The discussion included the band's stance on the purist point of view, the appeal of traditional fans of booth folk and metal, the limitations involved with only singing in Finnish and when we might expect a U.S. tour.

Listen to the interview at this location.

Watch professionally filmed footage of KORPIKLAANI's performance at this year's Graspop Metal Meeting, which was held June 27-29, 2008 in Dessel, Belgium
