Rankarumpu: Korpiklaani with Visions of Atlantis and Illumishade

Finland’s finest folk metal superstars made a stop in Calgary last week, and we had the chance to check it out! We’ve collaborated with Metal-Rules.com to photograph and review the event. Check out the photo recap here, and head over to Metal-Rules.com for the full review!

First up is ILLUMISHADE, a relatively new symphonic/progressive metal project founded by Eluveitie’s Fabienne Erni and Jonas Wolf alongside keyboardist and orchestrator Mirjam Skal, drummer Marc Friedrich, and bassist Yannick Urbanczik:

Last and not least, Finnish folk metal pioneers Korpiklaani headlined the night, performing an extended set of fan favourites and tracks from their brand new release, Rankarumpu:

The music and atmosphere combined made for a beautiful night with incredible music. Be sure to check out the Rankarumpu Tour in a city near you (while you can)!
