It seems that Valencia is in, and if it was not enough to have received more than pleasant visit of RAGE and Tyr last week, now it was one of the most representative bands of the Finnish humppa issue was not missed.
On being a Thursday and be the pockets of more than one suicidal, Almàssera room, recorded a full-evident. So, smelling party.
Before you begin, be attended (at least surprising to me) of Exodia. This action, at least on posters and tickets not included, so many we decentita version of ‘Raining Blood’ by Slayer that begins to be a little tiresome.
The real show started with Norwegians Trollfest. Servant he had the pleasure to meet you, but from the very beginning caught my attention thanks to the black rallajos adorning their bodies tattooed (strongly FINNTROLL wave of those who are debtors of their faith) and a beer bellies that neither Gerre from Tankard of that already.
The band is composed of Jostein Austvik on vocals, John Espen Sagstad and Per Olav on guitars, Martin Storm-Olsen on bass, Eirik Renton to the drumsticks, accordion and banjo Øyvind and Dag Stiberg the saxophone, which went a so thick. It’s clear that it is these latter two, which give their folk compositions that touch them on the humppa but without leaving an obvious marked ‘accent’ musical roots in extreme metal.
A strictly musical level, the voice of Jostein is quite sharp, shrill including but versatile and fits well with the guitar lines and bass drums and a very strong and hard. They played a handful of songs which were sung in the language called troll, or what is the same: a mixture of Norwegian and German. Of all highlight ‘Brakebein’, ‘Die Verdammte Hungersnot’, ‘Den Sjø Apne’, ‘Jegermeister’, ‘Essenfest’ and ‘Garm’ with which the people danced and trained as an occasional circle pit. It was so great that even Jonne Järvelä party, Korpiklaani singer, came out to sing with them. Fabulous.
Approaching the time of the Finns and people could not hide his excitement and nerves. First out was Matti, the battery to test it while his teammates did the same with their instruments behind some fabrics.
About 22 hours and some were leaving members Korpiklaani: Jonne Järvelä, voice and guitar, Cane to the other guitar and vocals, Jarkko on electric bass and vocals, Tuomas Rounakari on violin and vocals, accordion and vocals Juho and ‘Matti “Matson on drums. And with all the artillery ready started with ‘Hunting Song’ to continue ‘Journey Man’ one of the most acclaimed songs by the audience. A musically and as is customary in any self-respecting Scandinavian band, always sound perfect, and if you fail is by the sound of the room, it took a few bumps the mic quite annoying that left Jonne a low voice for a few songs (acoustics the RockCity may be best). The guitars are very clean and very serious bass belonging to the ‘school of the two strings’ because he was not playing more. The battery is very wooden, very well engaging the lead singer. As for the accordion, sometimes seemed like a guitar, but it sounded very weak, too weak. The violinist, very correct and virtuous as demonstrated with his own, which some considered the leftovers. Half set, which encompassed subjects ‘Cottages & Saunas “,” Juodann Viina’, ‘Lonkkaluut’, ‘Kipumilly’ and ‘Metsålle’, the pace slowed considerably, even to be too quiet, relaxed, melodic, slow, or even aburridillo that a servant made him fear the worst (deception!!) came together as instrumentals with sensitive melodies. Thankfully, the downturn is dissipated and turned up with ‘Vaarinpolka’ and especially ‘Vodka’ that this did not become party to which according to those who already had lived, are used to offer. Quite surprised with his version of ‘Iron Fist’ from Motorhead, who scored very well. Here, there were discrepancies in the views as some felt that what they need to ask. Servant did think that just because they felt like and to show how they spent their free time in the trials before humppa. After that, it was the general mayhem ‘Happy Little Boozer’, ‘Tequila’, ‘Beer Beer’ and ‘Korpiklaani’. And although it closed with this, the public was given the finieses, and it showed that Jonne was not eager to leave the stage and was greeting everyone and thanking them for coming.
Teille siitä. Paljon kiitoksia.
