Finnish folk metal masters Moonsorrow have a huge announcement regarding their new opus, the band's seventh album. We already knew that it was titled Jumalten Aika which translates to 'The Age Of Gods' in English but now we know much more. The band has also revealed the album's cover artwork, tracklist and a list of tours for the upcoming months. The album is scheduled to invade the market on April 1st, 2016 via Century Media Records.

Henri Sorvali (Keyboards, vocals, guitars, folk instruments) commented: "There are a lot more folk music influences present in Jumalten Aika than earlier,this time around, they are more deeply integrated to the overall sound. Jumalten Aika is like a circling wolf biting the hardest when you would never expect it. The music is unchained aggression, deep mysteries of the North and thundering witchcraft combined together in a molten forge of the Gods and reminds us all of something that never left our blood and soil."
