Korpiklaani's new album will be released in September
Finnish band Korpiklaani today released the music video for their song “Harmaja,” which belongs to their upcoming album Kulkija , to be released on September 7th by Nuclear Blast. “It’s an unusual Korpiklaani song, with its slow rhythm and emotional strength. The song is about longing, and I managed to imbue it with a great emotional atmosphere,” said vocalist and guitarist Jonne Järvelä .
The video was directed by Ville Lipiäinen, who has previously worked with bands such as Nightwish, Beast In Black , and Powerwolf . “Lippiäinen knew exactly what was needed for the video and managed to create the right atmosphere,” said Järvelä. “The video was filmed in the swimming pool of the Maritime Safety Training Center in Lohja. The water was so cold that even constant visits to the sauna couldn't stop the cold from seeping into my bones. It was very difficult to remember the lyrics, keeping my head above the surface of the water and singing – while at the same time trying to look like I wasn't freezing to death. All for the art!”
