Sharpen your wooden spear and brush your bear pelt, epic heathen metal is making a comeback with the return of one of the most famous Finnish bands out there, Moonsorrow. It has been five years already since the dark sonic haunts of Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa so the release of Jumalten Aika does feel like a return in earnest. Meaning "The Age of Gods", their latest offering is a true rebirth of that larger-than-life pagan metal sound. Read more ›› |

This is about as off the beaten path as I go. I love their previous album. Please don't suck.

Drummer Marko Tarvonen said in a recent interview that this album is pretty much a mix of newer and older eras, as well as being more black metal than ever.

Posts: 1761 Written by Risto on 07.02.2016 at 12:19 We can probably expect more raw production as well judging by their "Kuolleiden Maa" remix. Their website says it gives a hint of the direction they are heading next: https://soundcloud.com/trollhorn/kuolleiden-maa-breathing-blood-remix/

That Kuolleiden Maa version sounds so good. If they keep that production on the new album it's gonna be immense!

Can't really go wrong with Moonsorrow. I've got high hopes for this album, their previous album was awesome.

Looking forward to this, but the album cover is a pure ripoff of Thyrfing's Farsot.

Posts: 1761 Written by Kuroboshi on 13.02.2016 at 16:00 Not very original art, no, but it screams raw black metal which I hope is reflected also in the music. Starting with "Hävitetty" the production has been a bit too clean for my taste even if their music keeps getting better and better. This, combined with the sound of the remix I linked a few posts above, gets my hopes up for something closer to "Verisäkeet" in terms of production and composition. We'll see soon enough...

Definitely needs a couple spins, I think it's certainly more consistent than their last album in quality but that's just initial impressions

Fifth spin since last night. Shades of skuggja which I adore married to the utter grandeur of sound typical of their work. Just perfect.

Holy fuck! Best album since Versäkeet. Nice mix of old school Norwegian Black Metal and Finnish Folk metal. Can't remember when I have been so sold after the first listening like after this.

I'm not a fan of folk metal at all (except for a couple of bands) but blooooody hell this sounds awesome. Definitely better than Varjoina kuljemme kuolleiden maassa.

I just sinned, this one, what can I say? Well this is Moonsorrow , always same, always folky, blacky, just same but good, but something good was English songs, but wrong bands to cover, its not even similar style and great songs in original to
