Are you ready to rock? Hold on… ARE YOU READY TO ROCK???
One of our favorite Finnish metal bands — and yes, there’s more than one — Korpiklaani is back with a brand-new album. Korpiklaani plays metal, but with a folk twist; electric guitars and drums fight it out with violin, accordion, and woodwinds. The result is a happier, more upbeat metal than you might be used to. Check out the video for “Vodka” (sample lyric: “Drinking is good for you / And you will feel awesome”), the first single from their new album, Karkelo.

Awesome. Now that’s how is supposed to be done!

I was so mad when I found out I’d missed them on their last trip here to Vancouver. So mad. We could have had them on our radio show!
Another Finnish metal band with accordion is: Turisas: http://www.turisas.com/

Turisas is great, too. For those who missed it, check out our MP3 Monday feature on Turisas from a couple months ago.
