Tervaskanto (which means "old man" in Finnish) did not disappoint. It's another dose of rousing Finnish humppa metal, using instruments like flutes, jouhilkkos and accordians along with the usual metal guitars. It's a combination of folk metal and drinking songs that is a lot of fun to listen to. The songs are mostly upbeat and joyous, but there are a couple of slower and more melancholy songs, although not as many as on past albums.
Jonne Järvelä's vocals are melodic, but with a rough edge. It makes you want to sing along, even though you probably don't know Finnish. There are also a couple of instrumentals that further showcase the humppa metal sound. Korpiklaani are an unconventional band with a lot of energy and spirit, and Tervaskanto is a great folk metal album.
