Well, here we are, the legendary Tulimyrsky by Moonsorrow. Yes, it might be an "EP", but it hugely surpasses the concept of an EP. Here, ladies and gentlemen, we have over 1 hour of folk metal, with very unique, mysterious, and epic atmospheres. Despite the fact that Tulimyrsky only has one original composition (2 out of the 5 songs are re-recorded versions of old demo songs and 2 are covers of other bands' songs), it is one of the best Moonsorrow have released. Why? The answer is simple, yet inconceivably complex: the title track "Tulimyrsky", clocking in at 30 minutes. Read more ›› |

All Moonsorrow's releases are excellent, except this one, bad to the core.

Not the best Moonsorrow release, but still an enjoyable listen with some goosebump-inducingly epic moments. See this EP as a single song with bonus tracks and it makes for a more enjoyable experience.
