Free Music Notes for Tervaskanto w/ bonus DVD
Free Music Review: Truly one of the best folk-metal albums on the market.
Hit: 5 Stars
What can you say, Korpiklaani is one of the best folk-metal bands out there and Tervaskanto is their best work to date. What makes this album so good? Lets have at it!
Packaging: This is one of my favorite CDs I own just due to the packaging. It includes an 11-song CD plus an 11-song DVD of them playing at a festival. The booklet is superb quality and it even seems like everything contained within the packaging shines. Most songs on this disc are in Suomi, however, the booklet contains translations of all the Finnish songs, as well as a bit of history and lore about where the song inspirations came from. The artwork is absolutely beautiful.
Price: You can't ask for a better value for your money. An 11-song album plus a concert DVD? You get it all, I would have gladly paid more for this and not had a second thought.
Songs:
1) Lets Drink: Well, this is your drinking song for this album, as expected. It's very short, very fast, but also very singable. Enjoy it even more with a pint! 10/10
2) Tervaskanto: This was the first song that was released in video form from this album. It is about an old man whose been around and remembers all that he's done and seen. 9/10
3) Viima: As the booklet describes this song "This is a shamanistic portrayal of nature in which the man associates himself with other natrual phenomena." It's a simple song, sung in Suomi, and easy to listen to. 8/10
4) Veriset Aparat: This is one of my favorite songs on the album. It's very catchy and has a great melody. The subject matter is a bit different than what Korpiklaani sings about. It's about unwanted children who were abandoned in the woods and now taunt travelers. 10/10
5) Running with Wolves: This is the first of two instrumentals on this CD. As good as Korpiklaani are at conveying a folk song, they are better at their instrumentals. There is something about this song that lets you visualize it's subject. 9/10
6) Liekkion Isku: When you read what this song is about and it's lyrics it can be quite humorous. It is about a farmer whose crop was destroyed by Liekkio, the fire spirit, because he ignored the rites and believes of growing grain. 9/10
7) Palovana: This is the catchiest song on the album. It's folksy, heavy, and doesn't let up until the end. It regards our humanistic nature in that we can do anything we set out to do if we desire it enough.
8) Karhunkaatolaulu: This song's name translates to Bear Hunting Song, and that is precisely what you get. It is a tale about some men who are out hunting bear for food. They manage to kill it and perform a ritual to send it's spirit back to heaven so it can be with God. 8/10
9) Misty Fields: Ah, back to an English song. This is a simple song about a man reliving his childhood days. It is very easy to sing along with and like all other Korpiklaani songs (in English, for me at least), it isn't hard to learn. 8/10
10) Vesilahden Verajilla: By far the best song on the album. Musically, vocally, and lyrically this song is perfect. It's based on a legend of Vesilahti in Finland. It is about a warlord, Kirmu, who imprisons men of God. One of these men, Huntu, resisted and eventually was killed in the most brutal manner. 10/10
11) Nordic Feast: The second instrumental and the last song on the album. It's an appropriate song to finish the album and a nice change of pace from the dark Vesilahden Verajilla. Nice melody and also a good drinking song. 8/10
All in all I'd give this album a 9/10 but since I can only give up to 5 stars, it gets a 5. If you're a fan of Fintroll and have been looking for a more folksy metal band, this is your escape. Korpiklaani is one of the best in the business.
Tervaskanto w/ bonus DVD Poster
Korpiklaani is back! The wild Finns have again bottled the atmosphere and energy of their live show and injected it into their fourth album. Tervaskanto delivers powerful Folk Metal songs that are immediately absorbed into the bloodstream, instinctively causing neck muscles to headbang. Traditional instruments such as the accordion, fiddle, and flute battle it out with the purest of Metal, spiced with a dash of humppa and large helping of good humor. Tervaskanto delivers the party, dance and sing-along hymns for the upcoming summer festival season and turns each introspective evening by the campfire into a roaring celebration.The special Ltd. Edition of Tervaskanto features a 45 minute bonus DVD documenting Korpiklaani's performance at Wacken Open Air 2006.
