Korven Kuningas ("King of the Woods") is the fifth studio album by the Finnish folk metal band Korpiklaani. It was released on 21 March 2008 through Nuclear Blast Records. 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. 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.
The title track ends at about 5:20. The remainder of the track is somber, droning timpanis.

iTunes (and maybe other programs likewise) identify 'Nuolet nomalan' as 'Kipakka' because of the 9th position the song has on the album. 'Kipakka' has a different track length if one wants to make sure.
Videos for the tracks ''Metsämies'' and "Keep on Galloping" were made.
