this is really viking metal. moonsorrow rulez.

[OdinsbestFriend1]

REAL FOLK METAL YEAH!

Greetings from Germany

[Blackavathar]

@OdinsbestFriend1 is viking Metal

[alexminassian]

@Blackavathar its "epic heathen metal"

[VonKickyourass]

@Blackavathar

Which is any kind of metal with Viking themes. For example Amon amarth is a viking metal band but they're melodic death metal. This band is a folk metal band with viking themes

[randomjesse]

@VonKickyourass Finns had their own religious beliefs before Christianity, they weren't the same as the Germanic Scandinavian people, though it was mostly the same deities with Finno-Ugric names.. It just bugs me when people lump the Scandinavians and Finns together since that just shows a lack of education. :)

[GreedAndSelfishness]

@randomjesse Niinpä.Hyvä että suomalaistoveritkin tietää tästä.Nykyäänhän syötetää sellasta ruotsalaisten kirjoittamaa paskaa koulussa oppilaille historian tunneilla.Suomalaisilla on rikas kulttuuri.Tai ainakin oli...

[dblk]

@GreedAndSelfishness Why does Moonsorrow have a runestone on their album cover? Finnish people didn't erect runestones!

Why do the band-members wear a Mjolnir, a symbol of germanic neopaganism on their necks? Finnish people didn't worship the Germanic/Norse gods!

Conclusion: Moonsorrow are either ignorant of their own past or they are using those images and symbols because they think that they are more glorious than our own.

[GreedAndSelfishness]

@dblk Theyre playing viking metal.So of course theyre wannabe vikings.

[henqqu]

@dblk The finnish pagan god Ukko wears a hammer like Mjolnir. It's called Ukonvasara (Ukko's hammer)

[randomjesse]

@dblk You do not understand the fact that the Germanic/Baltic/Finnish gods are part of the same cultural influence. Most schools in the west for example don't have updated books about the contact of the Finnic/Germanic people, but the accepted view now is that the Finns came into contact with the Germanic peoples about 2000 years ago, where the Finnish loan words from proto-Germanic like KunINGas come from. At that time none of the cultures had a written language.

[dblk]

@randomjesse Yes, and Finnish language also has loan words from Slavic languages and even Sanskrit. No doubt Ancient Finns had contact with Germanic people, such as the Swedes.

But what does all this have to do with Moonsorrow having a runestone on their album cover? Where are the Finnish runestones if they are of the same cultural influence?

[randomjesse]

@dblk The Swedes came up with the "glorious viking" past as part of the nationalistic awakening of Europe, they had to come up with a past as glorious warriors to justify A) their empire and b) the loss of this empire. The truth about Swedes, and Vikings in general, can be found from the Finnish name for Sweden, Ruotsi, which comes from the ancient word for "rowing raiders".

[randomjesse]

@dblk Before the Swedes came up with a heroic past for the Vikings, the word Viking didn't mean much more - they were rowing vikings who pillaged, raped and sold the population to slavery. This is one of the reasons why during the Viking age the Finns weren't able to inhabit the coastal regions, but the Scandinavian sagas tell of a time before the Viking age where the Finnish tribes were dominant and started Norway for example. 1600-> Swedes aimed at erasing any Finnish history.

[dblk]

@randomjesse Swedes didn't need to come up with a glorious viking past. It is glorious. I don't see how you can dispute the influence of people who colonized so much of the northern hemisphere.

"the Scandinavian sagas tell of a time before the Viking age where the Finnish tribes were dominant and started Norway for example"

This is a pretty fantastic claim you make. Which saga exactly is describing this? I'd like to read the story myself.

I'll address the rest of your stuff later.

[randomjesse]

@dblk Ehm. Read history. The word Viking was nonexistent until the Swedes came up with the idea of glorious past as they lost their empire. It is documented, it is said by the Swedes themselves in recent studies.

[dblk]

@randomjesse Who cares what they are called. I'm not interested in word etymology. They made conquests to Iceland, Greenland, Russia, Canada, British Islands... And had colonies in all those places. If that's not a glorious past, I don't know what is.

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve by slagging them off.

[HelsinkiXdrunkcore]

@dblk

And all off that brave Viking Blood made Germans invading Denmark the shortest war in history, Norway made a such brave effort to stop the invasion...That I have no idea of what happened, other than that they got totally invaded.

And Sweden, du gamla, du fria, you land willing to betray your olderst ally and the only defence you ever had against the Russians.

Ukko over all.

[dblk]

@HelsinkiXdrunkcore In reality what could Norway and Denmark actually do?

Both had weak militaries and even if stronger couldn't have fought Germany alone as Britain and the allies were in no position to send any meaningful aid to them.

[dblk]

@HelsinkiXdrunkcore About Sweden...You may just as well ask why the Scandinavian countries didn't help Iceland when Britain invaded it. It's not a question of solidarity. It's a question of whether a country is allowed by the protagonists to remain neutral.

In Finnish Winter War in November 1939 Sweden declared itself not neutral, but ”non-belligerent”. This allowed the country to send volunteers and weapons to Finland.

[randomjesse]

@dblk When it comes to Norri, it's in Icelandic sagas, Fornjotr was a king who ruled Finnland and Kvenland(ostrobothnia in those days), Thorri, was a descendant of Fornjotr and Thorris son Norri traveled to the west and founded Norway. Haraldur hinn hárfagri was his descendant.

[dblk]

@randomjesse Thanks, I wasn't aware of this saga.

Indeed in the Ynglinga saga, Fornjotr is a giant who rules over Finland, but where does it say that he is Finnish?

Furthermore, I'm sure you realize that Ynglinga saga is a mythological tale, not a historical text?

[SIXFEETUNDER101]

Kyllä! Kiitos hyvää!!!

[95uptheirons]

This is like sex to me.. Great music is as great as great sex for me.

[ztefier]

does anybody know what instrument is in the solo?

[Crosell]

there are no pagans nowadays, only idiots who believe in norse gods for fashion reasons.

[th3warr1or]

@Crosell

And you know this, because??? 

[viscern]

@Crosell There is much more to paganism than old time gods such as the Norse, Greeks, etc. Heard of Wiccans? Those are considered pagans. Anybody not a follower of the mainstream monotheist religions were labelled as pagans. Besides, christianity isn't a monotheist religion anyway, so technically even they are pagans. Remember, God said, "Let US create man in OUR image." Therefore he acknowledges and admits to the existence of at least some other god(s)

[Crosell]

@viscern yeah, sorry, I'm aware of that. I just meant the norse gods though.

[BatheInEntrails]

@Crosell There are still people who truly worship the old nordic gods, not many though, but there are.

[Tholjan]

@BatheInEntrails Who the fuck is that stupid?

[ArjanSnuk]

@Tholjan

Not as much as those Christian idiots... I've read both the poetic Edda and the Bible, the Poetic Edda makes more sense than the bible!

[TheDevilbound]

@Tholjan Aaaand that is stupid, because of..?

Why don't you present that sentence in real life in scandinavia, you internet nerd-warrior ^^

[MorbidAngelOfSorrow]

@viscern

What?! You... oh fuck that was really retarded. Whan God says "Let US create man in OUR image" He doesn't refer there are other gods but refers to trinity of His being. It's okay if you're not christian but next time think twice before you leave such a comment.

[viscern]

@MorbidAngelOfSorrow

Ok well by saying there is a trinity, 3 separate entities, whether they create a whole or not still says that there are 3, not 1, but why would I think twice when the Christian faith tends to be the most corrupt system on the planet?

[MorbidAngelOfSorrow]

@viscern

They're not three separate entities. You can look at that as in three aspects of one being (just making it simple but not totally corrent).

I don't tell you to think of Christianity as an corrupted system, just don't write fake facts. Also, the original christian faith had nothing to do with corrupted system ;)

[viscern]

@MorbidAngelOfSorrow

You can't really write fake facts about religions, because they're nothing but interpretations in a literal sense. Christianity didn't even really exist until long after Christ was dead anyway, and it has aspects of many other religions, a big one being Zoroastrianism.

[MorbidAngelOfSorrow]

@viscern

That first is your opinion :)

Every 'new' religion has aspects of some which came before.

[viscern]

@MorbidAngelOfSorrow

If you can point me towards a serious religion that is nothing but factual in it's entirety, I would be greatly surprised. Even scientology has aspects that are still unexplained. As long as things remain unexplained and without hard evidence, how can they be anything but an interpretation of events, circumstantial or not?

[MorbidAngelOfSorrow]

@viscern

Religion will never be explained, it will never be factual, it's all about mysticism of some kind. The point of religion is "to believe" not "to know".

[Heavymetalgamer28]

@Crosell

Completley untrue... there ARE people who believe in the Norse gods strictly for fashion yes and they are retards, but you can't assume ALL Norse pagans are like that...

[Crosell]

@Heavymetalgamer28 i generalized that. ofc not ONLY but to a very high degree. i just never met any true believer, only guys who are viking and pagan metal fanboys and all of a sudden they were believers in thor and odin, with rituals and all that stuff, you know what i mean

[Heavymetalgamer28]

@Crosell

I've met plenty who are pagan/viking metal fans and are very very serious about their beliefs... I think if this music gets people in touch with their heritage, more power to them

[TheMetalguitarguy]

I AM....not a pagan. BUT THIS SONG STILL KICKS ASS

[YorkGod1]

Does anyone know of any folk metal ballads that need to checked out? fire them this way cheers?

[94Andreaaa]

@YorkGod1 lady in black by ENSIFERUM

[Militaizi]

@YorkGod1 tuoppein'nostelaulu by kivimetsän druidi. Great song by the way.

[YorkGod1]

@Militaizi thats an EPIC song cheers! anymore?

[viscern]

@YorkGod1

You should look up the band Eluveitie, their older stuff is much more folk, while their newer is much more metal, but they're all around a good band.

[TheSiBla]

i'm not a pagan, but moonsorrow is still fu**ing awesome!

[wmc1982]

[evilmind5]

Wow I love thrash bands the most but lately Folk/black metal bands is making me think otherwise

[Gothiaburger]

@evilmind5 Some bands are of both those categories, like Korpiklaani, I think is an excellent example of such a band. But I would rather call their category "trash metal" since their lyrics is all about to drink in pure finnish manner (until your liver rots) he he ;)

[CojaUltras]

@RodrigoMetal1987 OK , tnx bro

[CojaUltras]

where is this band from/

[MrFolkmetal4life]

@CojaUltras

If u see a melodeath or a pagan/folk metal band and u think:

"By thors hammer, These guys are awesome!"

then assume they are finnish.

[CojaUltras]

@MrFolkmetal4life i dont understand you , i am from Serbia, and I dont speak English very well :D ,

i dont understand this : "By thors hammer

[desambio]

@CojaUltras Thorovog mi cekica. tipa to. Na hrvatskom: ''Thorovog mi cekica, ovi su dobri!''

Na Srpskom vjerojatno nes tipa: ''Bre pas me jebo ovi su jebeno extra u picku materinu!''

:P

[CojaUltras]

@desambio a ovo poslednje sta mu dodje?

then assume they are finnish.

ovo

[desambio]

@CojaUltras ''then assume they are finnish'' = onda pretpostavi da su finci. (iz finske)

sve u svemu lik je reko ovo:

Haha, iz finske su, otkud bi bili drugdje??

Ak vidis melodeath ili pagan/folk metal bend i pomislis si: ''Bre pas me jebo ovi su jebeno extra u picku materinu''

Onda mora da su finci.

[CojaUltras]

moonsorrow é uma das melhores bandas de vikings metal, cantam com inspiração levando a todos fãs uma enorme satisfação de ouvir

[antagonist42]

This would be the best Folk Metal band in the world if they didn't use "cookie monster" vocals. It's truly a shame; their writing is incredible.

[TacoLuke]

@antagonist42 noooooooob

[drews666]

@antagonist42 I'd hardly call them "cookie monster" vocals, and besides that style of vocal suits this music very well I think.

[RyanQ87]

@drews666 agreed

[Seign420]

@drews666 agreed x 2

[Yule13]

Oh, I really love this song! Moonsorrow rulz!

[Gathorian]

[TheSirgauvain]

Excelent music for the paganism in this times

[TrollfesTVillanden]

2:04 soooo catchy love that part

[bloodgroove91]

The stuff they're playing/rolling in at 1:30 looks like shit hahahah . good jam

[TheAudioRogue]

I think that the attempt to mix folk instruments with melodic metal is interesting and i think im going to look more into this.

[Oswulf1]

@TheAudioRogue Check out Ensiferum, Fferyllt, Heidevolk, Odroerir, Skyforger, XIV Dark Centuries--to name just a few. Keep on banging!

[95uptheirons]
