Finnish traditional folk metal pioneers KORPIKLAANI released their new album, Manala, in North American on August 14th. Available in Europe since August 3rd, the album landed on the German charts at #47, making it the best chart entry in the band’s history.

Accordionist Juho Kauppinen states comments: "This is a great achievement for all of us. We are sincerely grateful to everyone who has bought the album!"

The Manala North American Tour will launch in Quebec City on August 28th, with MOONSORROW, TÝR and METSATÖLL rounding out the lineup.

“Once again we are very excited to come back to North America,” said vocalist/guitarist, Jonne Järvelä. “It will be the first time we are able to tour on the release of our new record, Manala. We are also very pleased to be having our very good close friends from Moonsorrow, Týr and Metsatöll, so expect a great party with good friends and even better music!”
