with such a national-romantic image for the cover artwork they have big chances to win prestigious award in some Finnish folk competition, and authentic music genre is especially honoured and loved by the entire Suomi population, so it is not a joke really, moreover that the contents of fourteen tracks on offer are very easy to get into even for people who have no clue what is heavy metal, where each composition feels like separate episode of a journey, blending echoes of mythology with an unrestrained zest for life, while homage to their beloved land is paid via lyrics in native tongue exclusively; surprisingly, the jolly clan omits the drinking songs this time, yet that does not mean Korpiklaani are not amusing their audience anymore, taking to their epic musical ride, reflecting on life's adventures and the serene beauty of nature; limited German first press three panel digipak edition
