KORPIKLAANI stream new song 'Lempo'
16 March 2015KORPIKLAANI are streaming Lempo as a preview to their ninth album Notia. Due May 4 via Nuclear Blast, the follow-up to 2012’s Manala features new accordionist Sami Pertulla, who played an active role in the folk arrangements along with fiddler Tuomas Rounakari.
Rounakari says: "Lempo is a fiery God of fertility and the song is about the spells designated to Lempo in order to guarantee a success in one's personal love life. The Finnish mythology is very unique in its approach to sexuality. We do not have spells to improve procreation like most of the cultures do. But the spells to gain more luck in love life or to increase ones stamina are numerous for both men and women.
“The song is a prime example of the new Korpiklaani sound with a lead guitar like violin solo and more prominent folk arrangements. It takes a step towards progressive rock balancing the folk and metal in a way band founder Jonne Jarvala has always dreamed it to be."
Notia was recorded at Finland’s Petrax Studio with producer Aksu Hanttu.
