Band members background the release with their own words:
Mika (Guitar):
Tales of the Backwoods has been a great process, it is an album who we, Blood Region, really is musically and mentally. It’s been great to be part of this team who share same visions. Every song in this album takes it’s own place and gives the best of our music style – “korpi” Metal. Every single song gives different genres of the elements, melody, atmosphere and so on. There is also a good scale with the lyrics – thinking, stories and life.
It’s been a great honor to have talented visitors and great persons to this album; Ari from Clandestine, Petri Sysimäki as a composer for three songs, Sami from Rough Grind, Samuli, Tomppa and Viljami from Profane Omen, Hannu from Noumena, Ripa Pääkkönen, Juha from Fearrage and all the other members from our have been part of our Blood Region team.
Last but not least, it’s been hossom to make this new album with Sami, Lassi and Ira. These people really has the talent that you can hear from our new album.
A magical debut album that will give a lot to our listeners. May the Northern white fire be with you – Rock`n ’roll!
Killi (Drums):
Hossom feeling at the moment. As a drummer I had a great opportunity to give my own opinion and vision for this new record. Mika and I discussed about the new record and we got this idea to bring a woman vocalist to our group. After a little searching we found Ira Green. We contacted her and she was immediately in. After finding Ira we took a phone call to Lassi who promised us to be our producer for this record. Lassi does the mixing for the record and he will be part of the band as a musician as well. For somehow every tiny little peace just took a place with this new album.
Lassi:
Working as a producer, guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, saxophonist and mixer for these great guys has been such a wild ride and so much fun! I've had free hands to use my artistic vision as well as any other band members and I think that's the most important thing about Blood Region. Especially when bringing some 15 years old demo songs to the daylight and seeing them grow to their full potential with the guys from the same old backwoods is something unforgettable. Everyone is always so excited when waiting someone to bring their parts to the table as we've had no idea how the final product is going to sound. But in some magical way it all sounds more than the sum of the parts!

About Blood Region
Korpi - Metal band in Finland!
Biography
Blood Region was formed in Karstula in beginning of year 2002, when first line-up gathered in the dense backwoods to burst out the first notes of Korpi-Metal. A lot of rehearsing
and some recordings were done during those times, yet they all stayed more or less in a small circle and unreleased. Different line-ups, different material
and some planning went on. Yet, also time passed and left Blood Region to rest for years to come...
...until 2011 the flame was recovered and lot of song-writing, rehearsing and plans were made. By January 2015 the band entered The Guard Castle, the studio owned
by Jakke "Naughty-Jack" Valkeinen, to record the first official release. As it was planned; the recording captured the raw sound, harsh approach and the hybrid elements of old thrash.
After good feedback and enthusiasm, after a while the band entered studio to record a song, "Metalheads" as a tribute to the roots, regions and friends. Then
It was a short time to have a little break and compose some new material and rearrange some old songs.
On freezing January 2016, Blood Region crew traveled once again to capture new songs on tape, at Naughty - Jacks new studio. This time with a bit more thought,
atmospheric and melodic approach and sharpened arrangements. The first EP "Of Northern Fire" was recorded and it contains three diverse, yet really Blood Region sounding songs,...having that edge of raw metal but with a touch of new elements and different genres, nevertheless,...it is Korpi-Metal, pure like moonshine in its own way.
The band goes on,...rehearsing, doing new songs, looking forward to do gigs, a new music video and record new material in the near future. Bound to Blood Region of Northern Fire...
step into realm of backwoods and experience the real and honest Korpi-Me!
