KORPIKLAANI Announce New Fiddler
Finnish traditional folk metallers KORPIKLAANI have announced the addition of new fiddler Tuomas Rounakari to the band. Rounakari will make his debut on the band’s yet to be titled new album.
Regarding the new addition, the band has issued the following statement:
“We took Tuomas aboard when we noticed that he was actually the only sensible choice for us. We had already thought of him before but were always afraid that he’d be too busy to join us, because Korpiklaani demands much time from every band member. When we finally asked him, he replied that it’d be an exciting challenge and big chance for him, so he agreed to take over the fiddle for us – we’re more than happy about his decision! At the moment the whole band is gathered in the studio where we’ve recently entered the final stage of recording, with Jonne laying down his vocal lines and only a few folk parts waiting to be recorded. If all goes to plan, the album will be ready for mixing at the end of March.”
