Finnish folk metal band Verikalpa signed a deal with Scarlet Records for the release of their new album, which will be announced soon.

 

Verikalpa formed in 2015 and released their debut album ‘Taistelutahto’ in 2018, anticipated by two singles, ‘Pahan Laulu’ and ‘Tyrmä’, which were very well received across Europe, making them one of the hottest newcomers of the vibrant Finnish metal scene and allowing them to perform both on big festival stages such as Nummirock and Qstock and to support legendary Irish band Primordial in Helsinki.

 

After a few line-up changes Verikalpa hit the studio to start working on their sophomore album, they found a new home with Scarlet Records and are ready to spread their word on a much bigger scale.

 

Stay tuned for some exciting news and all the details about the new album.

{tab=title="BIOGRAPHY" class="orange"}

Verikalpa is a Troll/Beer-metal band from the Northern city of Oulu in Finland. Verikalpa combines groovy riffs and rhythms with twisted folk melodies with a very Finnish touch. The lyrics are in Finnish and more specifically in the accent of Oulu. The songs are tales about drinking, hangovers, trolls and of course bloodspattered eternal battles. Verikalpa is formed by six musicians from bands such as CATAMENIA and QUAKE THE EARTH and this experienced group of musicians deliver their music with a firm touch and with an energetic liveshow.

 

Verikalpa has been in existence for many years but they decided to take their time in polishing their musical atmosphere and concept so that the band was truly ready to hit the stages and recording studios with a complete product. Taistelutahto was thus recorded in the SURF-SOUND studio in Oulu with the mastermind Janne Huotari who whipped out all that the guys had to give. After pouring everything they had to the album it was finally mastered by Svante Forsbäck of CHARTMAKERS and so Taistelutahto (Battlewill) was born.
