Finnish folk metal superstars KORPIKLAANI are happy to unleash Aita, the second single from their upcoming new studio album, Rankarumpu, which is due to be released on April 5, 2024.
Aita keeps up the full-speed-ahead approach from the previous single, Saunaan. The dizzying pace, a catchy chorus and a masterful violin/accordion duel make Aita an absolutely irresistible tune that bears all trademarks the Finns are universally known and loved for. Folk metal at its best!
Composer Olli Vänskä commented: “‘Aita’ was actually composed as an instrumental track, or that was at least the intention. I sent a demo version to Jonne and when I was asking about it a week later, he told me “hell no!” and gave me the lyrics he wrote. And good lyrics, too! I’m very satisfied about the violin riff and how the folk interlude turned out as well. Lots of interesting stuff happening there!”
