Korpiklaani Announce New Album


. (TeamRock Radio) Korpiklaani will release their 9th album, Notia, in May as part of re-signing a new deal with Nuclear Blast Records. The follow-up to 2012's Manala was recorded at Finland's Petrax Studio with producer Aksu Hanttu, and is the first album to feature new accordionist Sami Pertulla, who played an active role in the folk arrangements along with fiddler Tuomas Rounakari.

Vocalist Jonne J�rvel� says: "We have finally managed to create the balance between folk and metal in the way I've always dreamt it to be. Thanks to Sami's arrangements and Tuomas's crazy shredding of the violin."

Bassist Jarkko Aaltonen explains the meaning behind album's title. He says: "Noita in the traditional Finnish meaning is different than what people associate it with nowadays. 'Noita' is a person with wider knowledge and understanding of the nature and who also was believed to possess paranormal or unnatural abilities. 'Noita' is someone that you turn to when you need help of some kind." Read more here.
