Finnish Folk Metal Superstars KORPIKLAANI are currently touring North America with their label mates ELUVEITIE.

The band commented: “There is a little story about ‘Land Of A Thousand Drinks,’ which began at the end of the »Kulkija« recording sessions. We had always planned for ‘Juomamaa’ to have English lyrics, however just decided to keep the original and have the whole album in Finnish. After many travels & tours, we met our friends from THE 69 EYES this year at Metalfest CZ. A thousand drinks later, shared beds and many good ideas, Jyrki and Jonne came up with a ‘Land Of A Thousand Drinks.’ This is a song about being with good friends and travelling around the world: Hellraisers & drinkers cult.”
