From the website news:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New album
We have been pretty busy finishing our upcoming album Ukon Wacka. Ukon Wacka, or Ukon Vakat, is a pagan sacrificial feast from ancient times, on which a special made beer richly flowed. As can be expected from the title, this album has an ancient and very folky feel and is totally in Finnish. To make the lyrics understandable for non-Finnish people, we will add an English description/translation in the booklet as usual. The album consists of 10 songs, among which you will find a song name Tequila, which is especially written for (and inspired by) our South American fans, with whom we celebrated such hard times, and who welcomed us so warmly, when we were touring in South America. Another surprise is the title song, Ukon Wacka, in which a special guest features: the famous Finnish singer Tuomari Nurmio! Last but not least features a tribute song (Päät pois tai hirteen) to the Finnish rock band Peer Günt, a great and underestimated band. We hope and expect that this album will give you as much joy as we had making it; a big folky feast for all!
You only have to wait a bit, the release date is scheduled for February 4th 2011.

Tuomari Nurmio and Peer Günt tribute (a cover I suppose) are some pretty damn awesome news! When they announced that there's going to be a guest vocalist, I was thinking of quite a different person but Nurmio is even better. If the Peer Günt tribute's name is a word play as I think, I'm pretty sure it's a cover of this awesome song. And if / since you're not familiar with Nurmio, check his voice here.
Can't wait!! ;D
