Jonne-2017

Finnish folk/world music band JONNE have launched a new single “En olé” from their upcoming album “Kallohonka”. Listen single on music services: http://lnk.to/Enol

Jonne Järvelä, the driving force of the internationally successful folk metal band KORPIKLAANI, released his debut solo album Jonne on 2014. The stripped and rawer interpretation of shamanistic folk music attracted great attention and gained a lot of supporters all around the world. Although it started out as a solo project, Jonne has now become a fully active live band with 10 musicians from the Finnish metal and folk scene.The band consists of Jonne Järvelä, Santeri Kallio (Amorphis), Jan Rechberger (Amorphis), Natalie Koskinen (Shape Of Despair), Eero Haula (Oceanwake), Jussi Rautio (Battlelore and Lovijatar), Yovan Nagwetch (Wabanag), Pinja Lintonen, Matti Karjalainen and Toni Perttula.

The new album Kallohonka will be filled with spiritually dazzling music, it’s based on eternal tunes and stories about the returning to foregone-roots. To set the right feel, musicians used a variety of folk music instruments, such as mandolin, kantele, fiddle, accordion and flute, yet they didn’t forget about some classic live-band instruments – both acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards and percussion.

The first single “Vieras” was released a month ago, and it was the first song in which Jonne Järvelä has used a musical instrument from the Baltic psaltery family – previously mentioned Finnish kantele. The sound of this instrument kinda sets the tone – it’s one of the main instruments of the whole album.

The second single “En olé” is a little bit different though, you can strongly feel latino vibes. There’s a variety of musical instruments as it’s supposed to be in folk music, but that Spanish-spirit sure is breaking out. And it’s great, this shows us that Northern people are not just cold and depressed as it might seem to others, they have a serious, passionate, hot-blooded soul inside of them too, they just don’t show that that often…

So turn the volume up and take a listen to this Finnish folk – latino style!

Korpiklaani

After a successful year on the road and many rock ‘n’ roll festivities, Finnish folk metal superstars KORPIKLAANI release the digital single for their hymn ‘A Man With A Plan’. The catchy track is the best soundtrack for party nights and guitarist Cane explains the meaning of the title: “This song is about our life on the road, the fun side for what we are known for. The lyrics are again also about Matson’s planning ahead for his ‘good’ nights.”

In April, KORPIKLAANI already released the official video for ‘A Man With A Plan’, which was a charming parody of themselves and their life on the road and unfolded the tale of drummerMatson’s ability to sleep while standing up after drinking all night. The visually stunning animation was realised by the RMIT University in Australia, who had previously approached the band with a request to create the video as part of their studies – and of course KORPIKLAANI were happy to help and be a part of this unique concept. The team spent 13 weeks working on the project with producers Aaron McLoughlin and Simon Norton, resulting in a charming and hilarious fully animated video! Check it out here:

Korpiklaani

Finnish folk metal superstars KORPIKLAANI are releasing a new digital single today. It is a very special release, supporting the 20th Anniversary of their local football team FC Lahti with that track. FC Lahti, who are playing in the finnish Veikkausliiga, the highest soccer league in Finland.

Jonne Järvelä states:
“When I was asked if Korpiklaani would want to support the local football team playing at the top level in Finland, my answer was definitely yes. My first idea on how to take this forward was the thing that is important to us as a band, to write a song, a new official anthem for FC Lahti, and here it is now. Lyrics are not just about football, but also about love for your home town without forgetting it’s history. I wish the fans of FC Lahti and everyone else too will like the song.”

Tomi Honkanen, the Managing director (President) of FC Lahti adds:
“FC Lahti and Korpiklaani are two strong brands that generate strong emotions in Lahti and internationally. At FC Lahti we highly value that Korpiklaani wears our colours and brings our great FC Lahti to the world. Lahti rocks!”
