KORPIKLAANI - Virgin Oil Co., Helsinki 2015

"Though Musicalypse has been to plenty of Korpiklaani shows over the years as fans, we’ve never seen them in a club to document what they do best. Their latest album, Noita (Witch, or Shaman), was released back in May and the local tour has been long-awaited as such. The album received reviews varying from appraisal to criticism, but based on what we saw in this year’s Nummirock, the fans have given their seal of approval to the new songs. The band has toured almost nonstop since, taking over North America with Ensiferum and Trollfest, and delighting people around Europe who crave that Finnish flavor. Korpiklaani is not wasting any time this autumn inside the Finnish borders either – after playing only three gigs in Finland, the band will head back to Europe and then onward to South America. As such, Essi was drawn into the Virgin Oil Co. in Helsinki on October 9th, 2015, to see if the live show could live up to the album before the fly off once more!"
