Folkrim spits out the successor to their September-released “Jack In A Box” – single. While the previous single took a few missteps offroad, the now-released “Patchwork Throne” roars straight into the nettles.
“Jack In a Box was originally supposed to be a lone single,” Folkrim says, “but we decided to add fuel to the flames and hammer away while there’s hammering to be done.” According to the band, the early November release “Patchwork Throne” will continue in the footsteps of its predecessor: “The darker circus gear might have gotten stuck a bit and the result is this amalgamation of fairground music and death metal. This means more violence with a sprinkling of brass horns.”
“Patchwork Throne” is the second single from a five-song EP to be released in the spring 2026.
The mad wildmen of the Finnish western coast, FOLKRIM, offer a more modern grip on the stale circles of traditional folk metal. There’s death metal, delight and mayhem in store from the band whose roots are more closely tied to Children of Bodom than to Korpiklaani. Let the blastbeat and bass groove guide you through the ale-reeking bog into a bittersweet dawn.
