Some news:
The Finnish folk metal ambassadors Korpiklaani announce a change in the lineup for the first time since 2005. Hittavainen who's been with band since the beginning will leave the band. There is a mutual understanding between him and the rest of the band and there is no big drama involved. His personal health issues made the constant touring and recording impossible.
The band found Hittavainen's replacement in a young prodigy Teemu Eerola, who's already been rehearsing hard with the band. Teemu has already proven himself to be an excellent replacement and magnificent company. He also plays violin.
The first show with the new lineup will be in Rotterdam on September 24. In Finland the revitalized band can be spotted in Pori on October 6 and in Helsinki later in the same month. The real test for Teemu's abilities and endurance will be the 24-date North American tour starting on November 23.

I will definitely miss Hittavainen. Wish you all good mr. Hittis!

I read Teemu left the band. Now who will play violin? wolferin what I read in an interview is that they contact violinplayers (they know?) to tour with them; So it might happen that for instance on a european tour they have one violin player and (he/she/it ;D) isn't able to join their north america tour they can call in a different violinist to join on that tour. But I guess we'll just have to see what the future brings

Haha, I just happen to read KK's Fb at the right moments. Glad you discovered him, try to listen/see some of his own music/videos. I find much on my taste what he does...

Just working on the new album here at the studio and really can tell, that damn he sounds cool. He can be shamanistic, wild, sensitive, grazy, dolorous, happy...whatever the song needs. Just playing the fiddle. I'm the fan boy.
