Finnish Folk Metal Superstars KORPIKLAANI are currently hopping from festival stage to festival stage (next stop: MetalDays, Tolmin, SLO) in support of their current studio album ‘Kulkija’ (“Wanderer”; released on September 7, 2018 through Nuclear Blast). Today, the group has unleashed another version of their much-loved hit ‘Beer Beer’, taken from the aforementioned album’s tour edition; this time in Croatian, entitled ‘Pivo Pivo’ and graced by a guest vocal appearance of former ELUVEITIE violinist Meri Tadic (IRIJ). Grab a pint and enjoy the track over on YouTube:
Meri states, “During my time with ELUVEITIE, I actually participated in numerous and unforgettable ‘beer adventures’ with the guys in KORPIKLAANI and as I do like beer, this seemed like a perfect opportunity to pay my dues and have some more fun. ;-)”
