News : Korpiklaani Australian tour supports announced

By on October 12, 2013

Metropolis Touring have revealed the supports for the upcoming Korpiklanni Australian tour this October. Metal Obsession congratulates all the bands involved. Well done, guys!

Prepare your liver and put on your drinking hats & beer goggles because Finland’s alcohol fuelled folk metal sextet KORPIKLAANI are setting course for Australia. They are getting ready to party with our finest (or our worst?) this October on their very first visit to these shores.

With roots set deep in traditional Finnish folk music, KORPIKLAANI take said roots, turn them upside down and add a hearty helping of galloping metal which has placed them atop the rather burgeoning folk metal scene. With an extensive back catalogue including their latest release, 2012’s Manala (Nuclear Blast) and years of extensive touring, the band have honed a vibrant and energetic live performance that has been seen the world over to critical acclaim at festivals such as Bloodstock Open Air and the prestigious Wacken Open Air.
