Massacre Records has announced the signing of Jonne. The group was formed by Jonne Järvelä of Korpiklaani as a solo project, which soon morphed and developed into a full band. Wanting to do something that was musically different and away from his main band, Jonne is pure shamanistic folk music.
 
Jonne comments: "An idea about the solo album struck me almost two years ago, when the early sketches of the songs begun to take shape. I immediately realized that the material wasn't going to match Korpiklaani's style. Those pieces had firmly grown on me and I wanted to release them under my own name.”
