Album Description:
Finnish Folk Metal with an emphasis on the Folk elements.

Despite it's tendency toward a monotone Korpiklaani's Korven Kuningas remains a decent album. Finnish folk-metal something of a novelty genre to most but this band does it surprisingly well; one actually feels obligated to take the combination of distorted guitars and accordion seriously. note: the 21 minute last song is nether a prog rock epic nor contains a hidden track, the last 16 minutes are a repetition of a less than 10 second drum line.

That out of the way, I think this is Korpiklaani's best release to date. I also think this band may have its own genre; ...

I'm sure you folks have heard the term "This album is way more fun then it has any right to be!" several times before. Well, There is no need for me to repeat the phrase even though it holds quite true to Korpiklaani's "Korven Kuningas". This was my first venture into Korpiklaani's brand of Folk Metal and I am not disappointed. "Korven Kuningas" is a thoroughly satisfying romp through humpa inspired beats and frenetic, yet smoothly played flutes, fiddles and accordions. The metallic elements of this album ...
