Vodka kicks in straight to the point; “vodka!”. I love vodka, and I love this band and I know what they’re about, anthemic folk metal praise to drink! The music has a great formula of feel good melodies, chant along lyrics and dance along rhythms. They are now on the 6th studio release, Karkelo under the Korpiklaani name and take pride in their tale from a small time band with jobs to their current stature. I imagine seeing this band would be one of those great occasions where everyone would be dancing together and having a laugh, cups in the air, beaming smiles and singing along! A must see band on my list because this music is just pure happy fun energy!

Korpiklaat are clearly folk-metal through and through. From their outfits to their music. Both tracks here are quite simply jolly, feel-good tracks with solid, anthemic qualities. You can’t help but bounce along to their music and warble along to their lyrics. Any lover of folk-metal should definitely check out Korpiklaat, who for me, are folk-metal at their best.
As Nik said, they are definitely one to look out for live, I imagine their gigs are happy and energetic with plenty of dancing and singing along!
