I met Jesper Anastasiadis a few years ago and told him he's the reason I play bass. It made him smile so widely and he gave me a high five. My friend was next to us and told Jesper to hug me because I was too shy to ask myself. He gave me the best hug ever and before letting go, he squeezed me so hard I couldn't breathe. I smile every time I think about that.

KORPIKLAANI | release new digital single Jägermeister + reveal new drummer

Finnish folk metal heroes KORPIKLAANI, who are currently preparing for two Russian shows with Trollfest set to happen today and tomorrow, today release their new digital single Jägermeister and also wish to extend a very warm welcome to their new drummer Samuli Mikkonen! KORPIKLAANI stated: "Every journey has a beginning and an end. After 17 years and many good memories, Matson leaves Korpiklaani. Our new drummer is Samuli Mikkonen. Samuli is formerly known from Profane Omen and Jonne. He already drummed on our Kulkija album, as he played some of the tracks on the record. Samuli has also been a fill-in live drummer for Battle Beast. Samuli is an energetic drummer with a bombastic playing style. Just wait and see!"

 Samuli commented: "I could not be more honoured and excited to become a part of Korpiklaani. My journey with this music started when I joined the Jonne band back in 2013. I had a musical connection with Jonne right away and we began to make songs together. When Korpiklaani was making Kulkija in Petrax Studios in autumn 2017, I was asked to fill in for some songs. At the end of the day I had recorded drums for Neito, Aallon alla, Harmaja, Kotikonnut and Tuttu on tie. I was enjoying the music and we had a great time with the band in the studio. I´m very proud of that album. I have been following the band for two decades now and I´m very thrilled to have a chance to play all those great songs live. See you on the road!"

KORPIKLAANI | announce UK tour dates with Burning Witches + release video for new track Jägermeister

Finnish folk metal heroes KORPIKLAANI who are currently preparing for two Russian shows with Trollfest later this month, are pleased to announce that they will be returning to UK shores in March 2020 for a string of eight headline shows, as part of their ongoing Land Of A Thousand Drinks world tour! The final performance is set to take place at Hammerfest UK. Support on the tour will come from Nuclear Blast label mates Burning Witches. 

          In celebration of this news, KORPIKLAANI have today released a killer video for their new track Jägermeister, shot at their recent New York show. The video was directed by Vicente Cordero, with production by Industrialism        Films. Jägermeister will be available to purchase as a digital single on 13th December.           You can view the video for Jägermeister here: https://youtu.be/5fH0hHZkCJ8           Tickets for KORPIKLAANI's UK tour are set to go on sale Friday 13th December. Stay tuned for news next week.           Front-man Jonne commented: "As our recent North American tour began, we were discussing making a new    video and Jyrki (The 69 Eyes) recommended Vicente and he was a perfect        fit. At the time we did not even know what song to use and then we remembered we never released Jägermeister as this was recorded during the Manala sessions. We contacted Vicente and found out that he had free time the day we had our last show in New York. He flew out to NY, met us at the PlayStation Theater and then filmed around Times Square, backstage and during the show. Now it is time for your favourite medicine, perfect to warm up the cold          winter days and get you in that party mood! Come and drink with us!"                    w/ TROLLFEST          13/12/19  RU  Saint Petersburg - Aurora Concert Hall          14/12/19  RU  Moscow - Club Red                    LAND OF A THOUSAND DRINKS UK TOUR 2020          w/ Burning Witches          13/03/20  UK  Manchester - Rebellion          14/03/20  UK  Liverpool - O2 Academy 2          15/03/20  UK  Sheffield - Corporation          17/03/20  UK  Bristol - Thekla          18/03/20  UK  Southampton - The 1865          19/03/20  UK  Birmingham - Asylum          20/03/20  UK  Glasgow - The Classic Grand          21/03/20  UK  Great Yarmouth - Hammerfest UK *          *Korpiklaani only
