The wait is finally over. Finland's premier band Moonsorrow released their latest album in early 2011. And like a ton of bricks hitting you in the gut, the sharply-named Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa is most likely going to take your breath away. In line with its precursors, this album features epic compositions of pure Viking Folk Metal. Where the album differs is mostly in the mood. This time around the atmosphere is darker, more insidiously poignant, and overall heavier - as in more oppressive - than it has ever been. The gloomier tone of the album doesn't strip away much of the trademark Moonsorrow spirit though. In doing so, it remains true to the core while still offering something previously uncharted by the band; namely a nice little trip to the blackened death territories. Read more ›› |

This album is dense. Really dense. So dense, in fact, you could cut the sound waves with a knife. Or a Viking axe, whatever you'd prefer. Read more ›› |

Yay at least an album with less-than-30-minute-long-tracks, just as they used to play back in days

According to MA it's gonna be 1h30 long with a 30 minute song... if this is true, it's going to be sooo epic and maybe... triple vinyl ? WOOT !!!

Written by Vombatus on 16.01.2011 at 01:46 There is actually no 30 minute song. There was a bit of confusion because the 2nd track Hävitetty was thought to be 30 minutes long but its actually less than 3 minutes...its an interlude or something like that. But there is no 30 minute song on the album. And the whole album is apparently just over an hour.

Written by wormdrink414 on 23.02.2011 at 03:07 whats your point? tracks being on youtube have no bearing as to why there has not been a US release date.
