RELEASE DRUM PLAYTHROUGH VIDEO FOR NEW ALBUM OPENING TRACK ‘VERIKOIRA’

Barely three weeks after the release of their acclaimed 11th studio album Jylhä, Finnish folk metal superstars KORPIKLAANI prove they still have a few tricks up their sleeve to keep fans entertained whilst they can’t go to shows.

As of today, you can watch drummer Samuli Mikkonen rip through their new album opening track ‘Verikoira’ in an entertaining drum playthrough video featuring multiple camera angles.

KORPIKLAANI – Samuli Mikkonen – Verikoira (OFFICIAL DRUM PLAYTHROUGH)

“The composition of Verikoira was kind of unorthodox. Samuli wrote the drum arrangements on his own first, and after the drums were recorded they started to make the music on top of it with Jonne. The main idea was to make a strong opening track full of drums as Judas Priest had on Painkiller. This is what they came up with.”
