Finnish traditional folk metal pioneers KORPIKLAANI are proud to present their two brand-new video clips for the songs “Rauta” and “The Steel” (which is the English version of “Rauta”). Both songs are taken from the band’s upcoming 8th studio album “Manala” that will be released in a 2-CD-version, including the album in both Finnish and English language, on August 3! The clips were shot with director Markku Kirves (www.markkukirves.com) in the idyllic region of Janakkala in the South of Finland.
