It's just that the melodies they have chill my full body... I love every one of their albums, but Voimasta Ja Kunniasta is my favorite album, ever. Unohduksen Lapsi, my favorite song of theirs.
Their style is just unique. All their songs (or most of them) are epics, from 6 to 13 minutes (14-19 for Verikansaa), which very repetitive riffs and very keyboard driven melodies. No other band has played or plays like them, which makes them a very original and unique band. It's useless loving a band when 50 other bands play the same, and maybe better. Not with them.
And well, just comment what you think of this band, which will release a new album later this year. I hope it will be the best album of 2006 (with competition like Blind Guardian and Iron Maiden).
Hail the vikings!

Does anyone have any burning questions for Ville Sorvali? I will have time to interview him at Bloodstock on Saturday - so if anyone has any good questions, quote me here or send me a PM, or both. Thanks

Written by Baz Anderson on 12.08.2008 at 18:45 please ask him if moonsorrow will continue their evolution making more long songs and possibly a one-song album...if so, ask them to return to "normal" 6-8 minute songs lol

Written by Elio on 25.08.2008 at 21:00 Heh, well I have bad news really. The interview went really really well - but Soilwork were playing in the background and so on the recording the voices are muffled by all the background noise. It is bad. I can't tell what is being said... So unless there are any masters of sounds out there, looks like this interview will unfortunately be wasted. Which is a big shame.

One of the best Finnish Epic Folk/Viking Metal bands. Still the only downside maybe the Finnish language it self I find it some time unfit with the music itself, especially the more clean vocals.

Written by VPeter on 25.08.2008 at 22:00 I must completly disagree with you. Finnish language is perfectly fits with their folk metal!

Written by Elio on 25.08.2008 at 21:38 Haha, well once I have the Wacken and Bloodstock reviews on and I don't have to stress about so many things in general I will have a proper look at the recording and see if I can hear anything that will jog my memory as to what was said and I will see how much I can salvage from it. We'll just have to see. I asked many interesting things.. I won't say anything yet though in case anything can be salvaged and then I will put it all out together.

That album is very hard to listen to because the lenght of the songs... I like Kivenkantaja more.

Written by Janne on 29.08.2008 at 17:27 Agree. Kivenkantaja and Voimasta ja Kunniasta are to me better. Even though are all amazing.

I have been listening to Voimasta Ja Kunniasta, my first Moonsorrow experience. Really like it but I don't like the finnish language too much with the harsh vocals. But any way great athmosphere in this music. Witch album could I listen after this one? Kivenkantaja?

Hey, all the albums are amazing! I like Verisakeet the most right now but it can be because I haven't listened to it too much before. Suden Uni, Voimasta and Kivenkantaja are masterpieces. And I think there isn't too much difference in sounding between the albums.

that's why his voice sounds the way it does on For Whom The Bell Tolls. How do I know this, cause I was talking to Mitja Harvilahti just before actually
