Tales Along This Road is the third studio album by the Finnish folk metal band Korpiklaani. It was released on 21 April 2006 by Napalm Records.

KORPIKLAANI was founded somewhere deep in the primeval northern forests in 2003. Ten celebrated studio albums, numerous world tours and hundreds of millions of digital streams alongside multiple other releases, have established KORPIKLAANI’s status as one of the leaders of innovative heavy music. For their diehard legion of fans, they are known as Folk Metal Superstars. Here and now, KORPIKLAANI’s fearless journey continues on – and this time, the journey is powered by rather serious subject matter. Their eleventh full-length studio record "Jylhä" (which has no direct translation but can be described as majestic, or wild and rugged in a beautiful way) brings all the well-known and essential ingredients to the table: heavy-duty guitar riffing, rhythmic folk melodies and more.

Many of KORPIKLAANI’s songs come directly from the annals of the Finnish folk archives, but are activated with a fierce twist of metal. This constitutes the major difference between KORPIKLAANI and other folk metal bands, which usually use folk music only as the impulse in metal. KORPIKLAANI’s music is very Finnish and the band does not fear to be labeled “yokels“, living in the middle of the forest. Following the release of “Spirit of the Forest”, KORPIKLAANI added a second guitarist, Cane, to the line-up. They began work on their follow up, “Voice of Wilderness” at the end of the 2004 summer. Recording under the guidance of Samu Oittinen (Fantom Studio), the band smoothly laid track for track. With the recording of “Voice of Wilderness” complete and awaiting its 24 Jan 2005 release, the members of KORPIKLAANI concentrated on finding a permanent accordion player. Juho joined the band in the fall of 2004 enabling them to more easily transfer the energetic melodies and Folk Metal atmosphere to the live stage.

Whereas Finntroll represent the dark and gloomy side of the Finnish Metal Folk genre, Korpiklaani - previously called Shaman - is a band consisting of fun-loving, cheerful natures who since their first album „Spirit of the Forest“ released in 2003, want to induce their fans to dance.
