Enjoy the official video clip for the song `The Steel´, taken from the English bonus CD of KORPIKLAANI’s upcoming 8th studio album “Manala” (out on the 3rd of August 2012 in EU / 14th of August in the USA). The clip was directed and edited by Markku Kirves.
Suomi on paras 😉
The English version sounds great, too!I like that they’ve got some really authentic people to play the blacksmith and drumming shaman, since that’s what they do outside of this video as well 😀
Why would you want original music? New music is always good. It’s very catchy in my opinion.
exactly my reaction. lol
What most people mean by “original” is, in fact, “creative.” They want music that is both new and exciting, whereas this song sounds rather bland and uncreative. I don’t see why they made this one a single.
Korpiklaani has lost some of their freshness since Ukon Wacka, but all bands change. Just pray to Satan they don’t end up like Metallica. And saying Finland is Scandinavian isn’t a huge mistake. Some Finns even call themselves that. The northern portion of Finland is even geographically linked to the peninsula.
Bit boring to be honest. Very static droning hurdy gurdy and guitar riff, flat lyrics. They have done better.
both versions are great. the fact that the are making a double CD is amazing though.
great song!
the more original the better \m/
My list for the greatest bands in universe! Korpiklaani, Eluvitie, Therion, Dimmu Borgir, Sirenia, Sonata Arctica!
Vocals and heavy riffs, it’s like Goddamn Rammstein man this is not folk metal…
I like Finnish version, even though I don’t understand single word 😀
äh… no?
the smith is a true barbarian : big, strong, scary and friendly
Wrong this is folk metal from finland. never is and never will be like rammstein
1:01 Anthony Hopkins?
0:47 – 1:05 Strike Strike Strike …. No no no ! … This can’t be Korpiklaani : ( This is too boring. Where is vodka ? Where is beer ?
Add Ensiferum to that and your right
Swag Swag Swag Swag! erm strike.
dear santa dont let them do english version their songs
Not true. I think Eluveitie never filmed anything in Janakkala, Finland.
if u do no care about the language then yeah, but its good if they make a whole cd on English… not everyone appreciated the finnish language hehe, i mean i dont undestand a ingle word 😛 …ok a few words.
i agree, this was rather dull
