Korpiklaani release new music video for ‘Oraakkelit’

KORPIKLAANI have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Oraakkelit, is taken from the Finnish folk metal band’s upcoming new album, Rankarumpu, which is scheduled to be released in April this year.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Jonne Järvelä says, “I had never actually written a shuffle based song before and I wanted to try to write such a riff and see how it would work in metal music. Normally it is used a lot in old blues and rock’n’roll music. I was surprised how cool it went and then I thought: what if all the gods all over the world would have a big rock’n’roll dancing party together underground. The idea made me laugh, so I decided to use it!”

Drummer Samuli Mikkonen adds, “when I heard the first demo I was really excited. This is something very different! I felt there could be a cool shuffle feeling to the rhythm and I started to explored it. There is a great atmosphere in the song. First it lurks enigmatically but then it starts to rock! Drumwise you can use lots of dynamics. It will be a fun live song!”
