Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Korpiklaani are a Finnish Folk Metal band. They, along with Finntroll, are generally credited with the explosion of popularity that the genre has seen since the 00's.Their origins are rather unique in the genre: most folk metal bands started as metal bands that added folk later; Korpiklaani started off as a folk band and added metal. Specifically, they started as Shamaani Duo, a Sami folk band employed by the Hullu Poro ("Crazy Reindeer") restaurant in Lapland. Jonne Järvelä then retooled the band into Shaman, playing the same folk music as before but with metal instruments and a synthesizer. After recording two albums (and playing as a guest musician for Finntroll), Jonne retooled the band again: they incorporated more metal influence into their songwriting—and Jonne switched from Sami yoiking to metal-style rough vocals in Finnish and English—while simultaneously replacing the synthesizers with traditional acoustic instruments. They also changed their name to Korpiklaani ("Forest Clan"), mainly to avoid confusion with the Brazilian band also named Shaman. It was as Korpiklaani that their popularity outside Finland really took off.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Common themes in their lyrics include drinking and partying, stories from Scandanavian mythology and folklore, and characters from Scandanavian mythology drinking and partying.

Audience Participation Song: Korpiklaani is Folk Metal's chief band for this, nearly every album has a song that ends up in their live rotation for this exactly this purpose. "Wooden Pints" on Spirit of the Forest "Beer Beer" on Voice of Wilderness "Happy little Boozer" from Tales Along this road "Keep Galloping" from Korven Kuningas "Vodka" from Karkelo "Tequila" from Ukon Wacka Recently, "Rauta", with the repeated chorus of "Iske!" ("Strike!" as a verb, since it's about forging a sword) chanted by the audience.

AcCENT upon the Wrong SylLABle: "Keep on Galloping" uses Ga-lopping.
