Album Reviews

Korpiklaani is a great example that music is universal. With their 12 studio album ‘Rankarumpu’, they prove again that they’re a great folk metal band that never disappoints. Out on Nuclear Blast Records.

This just shows how powerful music is. This shows why music brings people together. Even though we don’t know what a person is saying, just listening to it and feeling it can spread the message.

The Swedish vikings of Grimner offer you “Vanadrottning”; another serving of heavy folk metal!
