Finnish folk metal superstars, Korpiklaani, have released a video for the song "Sauna", which is an English version of the first single from their latest album, Rankarumpu.
Korpiklaani's twelfth studio album, Rankarumpu, is classic folk metal - fast, energetic and dynamic, showing once again they are the leaders in this genre. The fast paced, violin-driven and playful folk metal tune "Sauna" is one of the finest examples of Korpiklaani's staggering virtuosity. With its irresistible lead melody and a chorus for the ages, "Sauna" should fill any fan of the genre with pure delight.
Samuli Mikkonen (drums) commented: "We’ve have played 'Saunaan' on every show after it was released and it has become a banger! Now it was about time to make an English version so everybody can understand our tribute to Finnish sauna culture. The message is simple: 'Sauna! To party is not a crime Your worries will burn like a pine!'"
