KORPIKLAANI: 'Kädet Siipinä' Video Posted Online

July 5, 2005

Finnish folk metallers KORPIKLAANI recently finished production on their second video from their sophomore album, "Voice of Wilderness". The video for the track "Kädet Siipinä" is now available for viewing at this location.

Commented frontman Jonne Järvelä: "The lyrics to 'Kädet Siipinä' came to me after I read accounts about the Finnish evacuation after the war. Kilometers of long black lines of mourning and crying people, mainly recent widows and children with their belongings and cows, began their exodus moving away from the old Finland after the border changes that took place following the war."

Added director Kristian Karvonen: "It's a story of sorrow and grief. When you listen to the lyrics and music you can place yourself in the world of the myths, rituals, mysticism, symbolism, war, and sorrow. That is what the video is all about.

"The conditions for making the video were good. We were lucky with the weather. The day we shot in the village the sun shone, and the day in which we shot with the ship, we woke up to a great fog. Just what we had been hoping for. The gods were on our side..."

KORPIKLAANI recently parted ways with bassist Arto and have replaced him with Jarkko Aaltonen. Arto "will start his military service in July" and "he's unsure about continuing in the band after the service because of his busy personal life," the group write on their web site. "The band will return to the issue when his army service is over."
