Following in the wake of their previous full-length album, Embers [2024], Folkrim are once again bringing new chaotic folk metal to the table for all metalheads to enjoy. Their new, almost accidentally created EP, bears the name of a mythical Finnish creature ‘Näkki’.

‘’The first song ‘Jack In A Box’ was originally supposed to be a one-off release, but as the launch day grew closer we realized that there’s no point in squeezing out just a nugget if we got more to push!’’, the band tells jokingly

‘’The songs have a lot of variety, but ultimately you can see Folkrim’s fingerprints all over them. We didn’t set out to reinvent the wheel, but tried to step outside the box somewhat’’

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.
