Korpiklaani release new music video for ‘Aita’

KORPIKLAANI have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Aita, 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 single, violinist Olli Vänskä says, “Aita was actually composed as an instrumental track, or that was at least the intention. I sent a demo version to Jonne and when I was asking about it a week later, he told me ‘hell no!’ and gave me the lyrics he wrote. And good lyrics, too! I’m very satisfied about the violin riff and how the folk interlude turned out as well. Lots of interesting stuff happening there!”

Frontman Jonne Järvelä adds, “I got a very cool demo song from Olli to which I riffed with a guitar. Then a theme started to form in my head that I transformed into a song which was easy to write words to. In the lyrics, the main person meets an old familiar village man who has been on the road as a travelling man for a long time and returns to his home village. The man asks his friend all sorts of questions about what he has seen around the world, but the travelling man only answers vaguely, but with wise lessons.”

Rankarumpu is set for release on April 5th via Nuclear Blast Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
