Korpiklaani release new music video for ‘Sanaton Maa’

KORPIKLAANI have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Sanaton Maa, is taken from the Finnish folk metal band’s upcoming new album, Jylhä, which is scheduled to be released in February next year.

Speaking about the new song, accordion player Sami Perttula says, “Sanaton Maa is meant to be a throwback to the 80’s with a folky twist: I wanted to write a classic sounding mid-tempo hair metal song with a killer chorus that includes all the elements I like to hear in a good song. While listening to this I can travel back in time on the back seat of an old Honda Accord that was cosmetically fixed with way too much putty and barely worked….on the other hand that didn’t matter because it was also tuned with woofers more expensive than the car. Happy ending!”

Singer Jonne Järvelä adds, “all I needed to do after that was add fuzzy dice to it!” Music video director Markku Kirves says, “Sanaton Maa is the third KORPIKLAANI video with the same main character and this time I wanted to tell something about his profession. In this video we see a blacksmith with his young apprentice, to whom he is now passing his knowledge. On the way to the smith, the boy sees something stunning under the water. As a warning, man decides to tell him an old legend about what happened at the same spot a long time ago. But does our apprentice really listen…?”
