We found out that the concert on June 6th in Santiago, Chile (Espacio 334) needs more promotion, because hardly anyone knows about it.

As previously reported, Korpiklaani recently revealed further details on their upcoming 8th studio album, Manala, which will be released via Nuclear Blast on August 3rd.

The cover artwork was created by Finnish artist Jan Yrlund. Korpiklaani vocalist Jonne Järvelä states: “On the album cover, our band mascot Vaari represents Väinämöinen, who is one of the main characters in the Finnish national epic Kalevala. As most of the lyrics on Manala are based on the Kalevala, Jan Yrlund decided to draw his inspiration for the cover artwork from the beautiful but yet brutal depiction of the underworld in Finnish mythology.”
