VERIKALPA band

Finnish crazy extreme folk metal warriors Verikalpa have released a video for the song ‘Karhunkaataja’, taken from their new album ‘Tuoppitanssi’.

 

Watch the video here:

 

 

This is how the band commented: “‘Karhunkaataja’ shows Verikalpa in a new light, what it’s like behind the masks and the wall of beer! The video is a journey from the rehearsals to the stages with the usual Verikalpa antics of cheap laughs and cheap beers, the video is best enjoyed while holding a cold one and headbanging furiously!”

 

Singing in his own native mother language (“Tuoppitanssi” actually stands for “pintdance”), the sextet combines fast up-tempos, raging vocals and brilliant melodies: a truly breathtaking assemblage of black, death & folk metal and symphonic elements.

 

‘Tuoppitanssi’ is an ecstatic journey through the Finnish folklore, superstitions and traditions; stories of old local pagan beliefs mixed with more outlandish fantasy elements that are all tied together by the unholy trinity of beer, blood and war!
