Korven Kuningas ("King of the Woods") is the fifth studio album by Finnish folk metal band Korpiklaani. It was released on 21 March 2008 through Nuclear Blast Records.[1] A record deal was signed with the company in September 2007. The cover was painted on this album, unlike the last few album covers, which were created using Adobe Photoshop.[2] It features the old man, Vaari, who was also present on the Tales Along This Road and Tervaskanto covers.
"Korven Kuningas" was released as a limited first edition with bonus tracks, along with being released on white colored vinyl. There is also a digipak version limited and numbered to 500 copies that came with a drinking horn on a wall holder.[3]
The title track ends at about 5:20. The remainder of the track is somber, droning timpanis.
