Finnish
folk metal giants Korpiklaani
have announced
release dates for their forthcoming album, Kunnia. The album
is due for release on July 18th in Finland and July 20th
for the rest of the world. Exciting news is coming thick and fast
from the band, following last
week's announcement of the title of their new album, which is
still in production.
Making
their now-customary appearance on our news pages, Eluveitie
have again made headlines this week. Having recently
released a video for new song 'A
Rose for Epona', the band have released a second video – this
one for 'Havoc'.
The video was again produced by Polish studio Grupa
13, who also made the video for 'A Rose for Epona', and consists
mostly of footage of the band performing in a dungeon. 'Havoc' is the
10th track on new album Helvetios, which was
officially released last week.
Shangren
continue to release a trickle of previews for upcoming release Rise
of the Dynasty, this week teasing fans with a new
preview trailer, 'violent strings from the Morin Khuur' – a
traditional Mongolian bowed stringed instrument.
As
well as the aforementioned release from Eluveitie, there were several
other new folk metal releases this week. This week saw the release of
an intriguing album from French Antiq
Label, D'Anjou en Vasconie, la très
grande Chasse d'Hellequin. This three-track split release from
pagan metal bands Anceisural Eritance, Hanternoz and
Ilbeltz features a different interpretation from each band of
a traditional Breton story telling of the demonic hunting party of
Hellequin (more commonly known as Harlequin in English), seeking the
damned souls of evil men.
This week also saw the release of the highly-anticipated new Leshak album, Pustosvyat. You can download a free three-track taster at Leshak's Bandcamp page.
