So excited.
I just ordered the album and I can't wait for it to come!! I loved 'To Hell and Back' and I know that the rest of the album will be just as fantastic. Well done, guys!!

One of my favourite albums of all time.
Korpiklaani are legendary. They've achieved something that other folk-metal bands such as Turisas and Finntroll just haven't managed to grasp. Jonne has one of the most enchanting and unique voices in music history. His voice is raspy and deep, and undeniably gorgeous. Ukon Wacka is my favourite Korpiklaani album, second only to Manala. It's a very upbeat and cheerful album, each song is completely different from the next one, but they tie in so perfectly together. They cover everything from folky, traditional tunes in Surma to fast and rockin' bass lines in Päät Pois Tai Hirteen.
6/5 stars. It's brilliant. If you're considering buying this, go right for it!

Carach Angren are THE best black metal band out there!
The name means "Iron Jaws" in the language of Sindarin, if you're wondering. I got into Carach Angren through my boyfriend earlier this year, and I've been hooked ever since. If you're into Black/Death metal, then I think you'd really like Angren. Some of my other favourite bands include, Amon Amarth, Korpiklaani, Gorjira and Lillasyster and I got into these guys perfectly. The singer has a very unique and demonic voice, something you won't find in many other bands. They're enchanting. The use of the orchestral arrangements is perfect, something that is incredibly hard to achieve, especially as well as these guys do it.
It's an all-round brilliant album, all the songs are wonderfully crafted, none of the songs are weaker than the next one and none bring the album down. 4/5 stars. Great band, great album.
