*see Korpiklaani

Info:
A Finnish band deeply rooted in Finnish folk and language, the lyrics are entirely sung in the Sámi language. After two albums, mainman Jonne Järvelä decided a shift in direction was necessary, the goal being to retain the folk roots but with a more increased metal influence. With new members in tow, Shaman became Korpiklaani.

The name:
The oldest layers of Finnish paganism are shamanistic. Shamans are a kind of wizard, wise and respected, who was believed to have a special relationship with spirit world. In a trance like state shamans could ask forefathers and nature spirits for guidance and hidden wisdom. Nature was full of information to them who could ask it.
