Metal with Folk list!

The Finns Korpiklaani have now firmly established in the European metal scene. This will probably be because that the band combines Scandinavian folklore with Heavy Metal. That the songs are also all sung in Finnish, gives the music a kind of authenticity Korpiklaanis which one finds otherwise difficult.

Manala joins smoothly into the good releases the previous band's history. However, the previous albums were just a little harder. This does the high fun factor of music Korpiklaanis however not detract.

Manala is opened by the fast "kunnia". It is noticeable that the band of violin gives more space. Also in other songs the violin sounds unusual superficially. In the beautiful ballad "Synkkä" determines the violin almost the entire melody. Of course, is also still rocked properly with the Finns. In "Ievan Polkka" the rocking dance floor must be swung while the neck muscles headbanging must be oiled at die-hard and sluggish "Sumussa Hämärän Aamun"!

Manala has become a good album of the Finns, especially the folk flip side of Korpiklaani seems clearer than ever by!
