Brass horns and violence – Folkrim’s new single

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.

Psychework, Folkrim & Vanguardian live at Meara Klubi, Pori (Fin)

This time on the stage of the Meara Klubi three bands with different genres created a noteworthy show. The first to take the stage was Vanguardian, an extreme technical heavy metal band from Jyväskylä resurrected from the ashes of the thrash band Inkvisitor in 2019, followed by Folkrim, a band that plays a combination of metal and traditional instruments inspired by beer and nature that brings good mood everywhere. Closing the evening was Psychework, with singer Antony Parviainen and guitarist J-V Hintikka (ex-Machine Men), who offers melodically strong, dark and progressive heavy metal with impressive orchestrations and an undeniable talent for the dramatic.
