The following was posted on Moonsorrow's website: "The release date of "Tulimyrsky EP" is set to March 26th by Spikefarm Records. Although called an EP, the length of this opus is somewhere past one hour. It consists of one new song, two covers and two old demo songs reworked.

Looking like this:

01. Tulimyrsky
02. For Whom The Bell Tolls (Metallica cover)
03. Taistelu Pohjolasta (originally on "Tämä Ikuinen Talvi")
04. Hvergelmir (originally on "Metsä")
05. Back To North (Merciless cover)

The EP also sees a set of visitors in form of actor Turkka Mastomäki, Olav Eira (Áigi), Tomi Koivusaari (Amorphis), Oppu Laine (Mannhai) and Janne Perttilä (Rytmihäiriö/Moonsorrow), all of them giving their contribution to the vocals.

The "Tulimyrsky EP" was recorded and mixed at Jive studio, Helsinki by Jukka Varmo and Henri Sorvali. The cover art is made by Kris Verwimp."

UPDATED on 7 March:

Spinefarm Records will now issue Moonsorrow's new EP "Tulimyrsky" on April 30th. The release was previously expected on March 26th.

Only one new song? But the two covers could be interesting.

I'd also be interested to hear the Metallica cover, as well as the other songs, of course.

Id really like to know what these guys consider an EP and what they consider an LP, its pretty confusing.

A unexpected Metallica cover, no one saw that coming . Sounds interesting, i'll be waiting for this. It's deceiving to hear that there's only one new song though, ah well.

i think i will purchase this one

just the name is kinda funny for me, who is not used to Finnish language - "Tulimirsky" reminds me not the Finnish word "Firestorm" but a name of some Russian boyar or so

I think they've called this an EP because there is only one new song on it, the rest are all re-recordings and covers.

My interest has been piqued by this news, because I loved their latest album and it'll be cool to see how the early stuff sounds when reworked. I don't care so much for the Metallica cover though.

This has to be the longest EP ever, even it's larger than some CD.

Cool, I wonder how long Tulimyrsky will be. And the covers and re-recorded demo songs would also worth listening.

What about Avantasia's Lost In Space EPs ? each with 6 songs and there are even two of them there in the same time

it would also have to compete with Reverend Bizarre's several 60-70 min. EPs

Past one hour? The demo songs clocks at 12 min on the reedition, and For whom the bell tolls is like 8 minutes? So the new song is something like 30 minute long? That should be interresting
