Korpiklaani unveils “Kalmisto” ahead of big tour – Folkfest of the North

Finnish Folk Metal Superstars Korpiklaani have released a video for the song ‘Kalmisto‘, from their latest album, “Rankarumpu”. The music video was premiered prime time in Finnish national television, Levyraati.

Korpiklaani‘s twelfth studio album “Rankarumpu” is classic folk metal – fast, energetic and dynamic, showing once again they are the leaders in this genre. 

I HAD A DREAM! One night I was dreaming that I was watching a music video by Korpiklaani. Jonne was singing there in a clearcut forest. I heard the music, the lyrics and I knew that the song is called ”Kalmisto”. Then I realized that we don’t have a song like this. I woke up and decided to sang the melodies to my phone and wrote the lyrics down. At the morning I went to Jonne’s place in Miehola and told him about my dream. He was instantly excited about it and we started to build a song based on the nightly recording. It didn’t take long till the basic structure of Kalmisto was ready. It’s funny how the subconscious works even in your dreams. The lesson of the story is that we should sleep more! We brainstormed with the director Teppo Ristola about my dream and about the lyrics and he got many cool ideas to add to the script. The video is shot nearby Miehola so the music and the video was born almost at the same place. Samuli Mikkonen
