Finnish folk metal giants, Korpiklaani, have released an official video for the song “Kalmisto”, taken from their latest album, Rankarumpu.
Drummer Samuli Mikkonen shares the story of how “Kalmisto” was born:
“One night I was dreaming that I was watching a music video by Korpiklaani. Jonne Järvelä was singing there in a clearcut forest. I heard the music, the lyrics and I knew that the song is called ‘Kalmisto’. Then I realized that we don’t have a song like this. I woke up and decided to sang the melodies to my phone and wrote the lyrics down.
At the morning, I went to Jonne’s place in Miehola and told him about my dream. He was instantly excited about it and we started to build a song based on the nightly recording. It didn’t take long till the basic structure of ‘Kalmisto’ was ready. It’s funny how the subconscious works even in your dreams. The lesson of the story is that we should sleep more!
We brainstormed with the director Teppo Ristola about my dream and about the lyrics, and he got many cool ideas to add to the script. The video is shot nearby Miehola so the music and the video was born almost at the same place.”
Korpiklaani and Ensiferum are gearing up for a 2025 North American co-headlining tour. The journey runs from February 27 in Boston, Massachusetts through March 30 in Brooklyn, New York. Additional support will be provided by Trollfest and NiNi.
