Moonsorrow - Raunioilla (METAL)

[HeroLalli]

Raunioilla is really one of my most favorite songs... My personal opinion is that the lyrics are basically about Ragrarök (the end of the world), as well as also about christiniazation of the Nordic countries... I love it because they mention our Finnish pagan god Ukko in the lyrics... The god heaven and thunder.

[DurinShadowcleaver]

@HeroLalli

Please, could you give us an english translation of the lyrics of this beautiful song? Thank you very much!

I expended my last summer holidays in southern Suomi...I loved it so much. Regards from Italy !

maneeeee riffi

[666JJK666]

...Finland is not a part of Scandinavia.... Scandinavia is Norway, Sweden and Denmark....

[Wolham]

@666JJK666 The Nordic countries make up a region in Northern Europe and the North Atlantic which consists of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden and their associated territories, the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland. In English, Scandinavia is sometimes used as a synonym for the Nordic countries, but that word may also refer more narrowly to Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Quoted from Wikipedia.

[CaptainLecher]

@666JJK666 Finland is a part of fennoscandinavia.

[thefinalb0ss]

There is just no way I could rave enough about this band, and this song in particular. It's a perfect flow of power and emotions, mellow enough to swallow you when you listen, yet powerful enough to make your heart beat harder when you feel his singing. It's my favourite song on so many levels, and I thought that I'd share.

[moggydaghlegend]

The world is dying from the shit music we have now.

We need more music like this.

[Boprobe]

thumbs up if you noticed the x-men theme at 1:04

[startrekmakesmehappy]

I'm shipping myself in a box from FedEx to Finland. Do they have fedex there?

[blacklightsouth]

@startrekmakesmehappy

Yes. I have friends in Helsinki who I mail to and from all the time. Fed-Ex reaches Finland.

[Joostb6]

wow this band is so great

[FirtanOfficial]

[viskarenvisla]

Keihäs karhunkaatajan

maassa saaliin vierellä vartoi

vaiti suurta laivaa saapuvaa!!!

[TheQneb]

When i was young i thought i wanted to live in america to see bands like blink 182 or britney spears or something live.. Then i grow and understand I've been born in perfect country: I see awesome metal bands live every summer weekend if i want!

[JL3Wind]

@TheQneb same for me!

[MrRivFader]

I don´t like, I Love!!

[MrLeidolfr]

@MrRivFader no love button on videos unfortunately :(

[WintersunFTWFTW]

whats up with all the "kill the dislikers"? some people just dont know what real music is and they clearly don´t deserve to live i guess.... well, i guess were gonna have to kill them then.

[WintersunFTWFTW]

whats up with all the "kill the dislikers"? some ppl just dont listen to real music and they dont deserve to live i guess.... so that means we can kill them i suppose.

[kevingthompson13]

This is my first listen at this band. WHAT THE......THIS IS GOOD. Whats up with bands from Finland? Vie eine Finlander?

[megamanangel]

@kevingthompson13 Easy. Finnish bands are born awesome.

[kevingthompson13]

@megamanangel There are a lot of them too. If you go to my TOATALLY MUSIC channel, and check playlists, in METAL, and FEM METAL, I got some serious stuff there, and lots of FINS! I must have around 70 fem bands! pt 4 of these will be added in few days. metal bands from several eras, MANY you do not know, I GUARANTEE!

[megamanangel]

@kevingthompson13 Yup.

[Vyrrvarr]

They're great but the can't reach Finsterforst

[sdfaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Finland rulez!! Finland has the best metal bands EVER!. Hail from Hungary!

[Alder1989]

7 people did'nt know the symbol for like xD

[KeltveX]

Pagan/Viking metal is the best!!!

[TerraVN]

Agree with you Rouben :(

[Xx3moRoolixX]

It's the Best music, on the world!!!^^

[perrottafamily]

Love the name of this song in English. "At the Ruins" creeps.

[subidorload]

almost perfect intro O.o and his voice remind me Ruoska :D

[Vodkametalhead]

Moonsorrow isn't my favourite band, but this is the best intro EVER!!! \m/

[galder006]

i respect ya my best band ever

[Oswulf1]

@A157D I'm sure you're right. I meant, it would have been nice to be able to read the lyrics and an English translation along with the song. Anyhow, thanks for uploading it.

[Oswulf1]

Great, but, like most non-Finns, I'd have liked to have the lyrics (in English).

[mazopac]

finish are peasents finlands only good band is Children Of Bodom the rest can go and fuck deers

[Bitfrost666]

@mazopac :D That make my day.... there is so many good bands in finland and imo Cob is pretty much just going more and more to Mainstream way. Anyway Moonsorrow is epic

[Jamaguchi09]

@mazopac It seems u dont know anyone from finland

[Hallanrauta]

@mazopac The correct spelling is "peasAnt". Some punctuation and upper case letters could work wonders as well. Also, you seem to have developed a severe case of the "I can't fucking write and listen to mainstream shit, but still I rave over tha interweb about how others are uncivilized" syndrome. The common cure for this begins with buying a piece of sturdy rope. So please, do us a favor will you?

[AntakaDat123]

Epic masterpiece \m/

[Rouben]

@just2s33 Right on brother!

[dbasto1]

@joutupp There is a band just like Moonsorrow called Finsterforst, pretty much clones.

[jimjamjoeyjoejoe]

@dbasto1 You noticed that too, huh? Finsterforst is still a good substitute, considering Moonsorrow just play 20-30 minute black metal songs now.

[dbasto1]

One of the truly great bands!!

[Midgetrage]

@joutupp yeah i agree, moonsorrow has a very unique style of music for its genre

[Rouben]

Only 40,000 views. The world is missing out!

[Thorsbride666]

@Rouben Let the ignorant suffer . This is not for the masses!!

[simpleplanroxmaisox]

is this english?!?!!?!?!?

[Ninetoes3]

Its, uh, obviously finnish?

[huuskosan666]

it´s finnish

[ServantOvSatan]

I'm wearing my Moonsorrow shirt as I listen to this haha

[lumyn]

Kivenkantaja is hands down my favorite album.

[mroubison]

1:55-2:20 = EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hobodoctor]

It's the first track off Kivenkantaja, one of their best albums. And where do you live? Because I also saw them in May and am seeing them again in April, haha.

[eMMjunaYschion]

wtf

[AK4769er]

Wish Australia produced music as good as this that I could witness live.

[leah1234555]

destroyer 666

[bobihun88]

More than great!

[Midgetrage]

kick ass song

[zippelgad]

superb!

[shredingdude]

epic

[Pagantones]

It was the only thing I wanted to point out mate:) I'm glad you did'nt tag it as "gothicmetal"....

[Pagantones]

Yeah.. Fair enough. But... Nightwish is neither pagan nor black....:P

[Sarah10NinfaAmaltea]

This is a very excelent song!!!!

[noivoiv]

no voihan saatana

[goronstyle]

gorgeous.

[monkysrbetrthangoats]

agreed!

[ThorgalsWalhalla]

thats real sound ! not that american ass shit !

a shame u guys did not come to the PF in Swiss =(

Skoll Moonsorrow, may your Horns ever be full with beer and meet =)

[GabrielZ666]

If you like folk / pagan metal bands you should check out a band form Argentina called Skiltron, there's a lot of their stuff on Youtube. I ended up here looking for that kind of sound and I will keep searching because Moosorrow is to heavy for me hehehe.

[Pagantones]

Well, I was thinking of: Gehenna, Satyricon, Windir, Taake, Fen, Sorgsvart, Heimdalls Wacht, Moonsorrow, Einherjer, Summoning, Mirrorthrone, Belenos, Drudkh, Negura Bunget, Martolea, Vintersorg and Skyforger(EU black/pagan)... You people really need to dig through the mainstream metal and get a taste of some underground bands..

And since when is Nightwish either black or pagan?:P

[johnnyrckt]

it means "Ruins"

Tämä on hyvä kappale

[Thetouko]

It's like "On The Ruins" in english.

[kkinkead]

I think it means "At the Ruins"

[RUNALISTMANN]

Great song ... !!! does somebody knows what Raunioilla means ?!

[williamdrocks]

Yeah!!!!!!!!!! Fuck Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blackkrane0622]

I love this song so epic and mytsical sounding. His voice is absolutely amazing. Its almost like this song is for him to showcase his various sounds on the vocals.

[Thetouko]

Fucking great piece of finnish art. Btw, has anyone noticed some similarities with parts of this album and Swallow The Sun's newest "plaque of butterflie", or is it just me :P For example that melody witch starts at 0:42

[Razorlives]

such a great song!

[vikingthrone345]

so fuckin epic, this song always picks me up and takes me away. Such agreat album

[SamTheWarrior1]

Hail Moonsorrow

[pitn24]

Hail moonsorrow!

from the flemish grain fields! :D

[Pagantones]

Scandinavian, German and Finnish metal is more often than not the greatest metal around!!!

[cdietzz]

definetly, if you search for something like "best american metal bands" you get a lot of crap like slipknot and mudayne.

I Hate Slipknot, they's a bunch of pussies.

[Pagantones]

I know man! They have a lot of shit coming from there... Although, there are some jewels among them.. Like Wolves in The Throne Room and Velvet Cacoon(look them up if you don't know them, I bet you won't be dissapointed)

[cdietzz]

they're good but not like moonsorrow,

[Pagantones]

America has good music, you just need to dig though the Slipknot-, Korn-, Linkin Park-, and Mudvayne-crap.

Theyve got some pretty solid blackmetal bands over there. Europe has better ones though.

[ozain24]

Wolves in the Throne Room are great. Fantastic atmosphere.

I can understand all the Linkin Park stuff, never liked them. Slipknot are an interesting one though, their old stuff is imo far better. Iowa for example. Just can't say I'm a fan of their image. Its very 'i'm hard if I say fuck 1000 times in a sentence'.

[Pagantones]

Yeah WITTR is awesome, saw them @ Graspop(festival in Belgium) and it was great!:O Well, I used to listen to the old albums when I was younger, never had complaints about that, its their image + newer albums that disturb me. I don't listen to it anymore, but I get your point.

[abider80]

@Pagantones Finland is part of scandinavia :D

[Vondelene]

@abider80 No, Finland is not part of scandinavia you imbecil.. Finland is part of the Nordic countries. Scandinavian countries shares first and most importantly the same linguistic roots.

[erydiam]

Hail to my bloodbrothers at side of war.....Hail from New York...Hail Moonsorrow!!

[erydiam]

Long triphours..to play ..that's is band..Hail Moonsorrow for your courage..Hail!!...and thanks

[Naildownrock]

Finnish: Täytyy kyllä myöntää että tää on yks hienoimmista biiseistä ikinä! Moonsorrow on hieno bändi muutenkin.

English: I gotta say that this is the most wonderful song ever! Moonsorrow is a great band in any case.

[Wulfshade]

IMO the bestest song they have ever composed. It gives me goosebumps every time!

[YetiBerra]

Perfection. Finnish metal is the best...

[DrownedTornAsunder]

Check out Equilibrium... you might like those guys if you like this

[MaceJace]

Perfection!

[eeeee96]

piękne

[brutalictesku]

Upea biisi!<3 Moonsorrow on yks parhaita suomi-bändejä!

[onlyfood]

super awesome!!!

[gonaspolle]

PERKELEEN KOVAAA SETTIÄ!!!!!!

[voodoohamsterdoll]

Way above many other metal bands out there.

Puts images of vikings charging an english shore waving axes, covered in furs and warpaint!

[LordNick42]

But this tells the story when filthy christianity came to Finland and killed many good men. (At least I think so...)

[Suholaani]

My fav song ever... Moonsorrows lyrics are so epic and true. Best band ever!

[koml3uch4]

lol seriously i am from the states and wish i could live in finland

[killerboi13]

sikth=shits

[meimei130588]

hey hey hey hey no one can beat metal from the uk peeps this sounds to classical and shit, try out a band called "siKth" then ull realize that are metal is better lol

[killerboi13]

they r pussy metals u dick head....never ever come to viking ages....still melodic death/viking metal rulez...

[leaderOFlosers]

im sorry dude, but sikth fucking blows.

[maseyf]

Only good UK has is Iron Maiden!

[Smc316]

Iron maiden is from the US.

Although the US has produced way more metal bands than the UK, the UK has produced many more metal FANS than than the US.

[maseyf]

? Iron maiden are formed in U.K

[Smc316]

Oh wait, yeah you're right.

I was thinking about metallica.

England also has black sabbath.

[Red93100]

Nevermind.

[Red93100]

Nope, maiden is from england.

[abeoh]

I dont know a great deal about moon sorrow and there songs, but they do seem fucking awesome, and i saw them live with COB at the astoria with Kiuas. Fucking incredible :P

[doktadeath]

F*ckin' Awesome .....one of my fave (if not THE fave) Moonsorrow songs !!!

[Metaljan85]

It`s soo great!!!

[Metaljan85]

Of course, I have bought the album

[redagony]

Moonsorrow....Rated FE....for FUCKING EPIC

[ScampGoat66]

i have heard this band first time .very good .favorited:D

[panzerfaustchile]

Great song!!!

[donAtortugo]

great band... as most of bands in finland.

I'd like to know what is this song about... if anybody can translate or at least write what does the lyrics talk about...

[Milanwhatever]

donAtortugo: This song has a very nice poetic, but sad lyrics about christian genocide of pagan belief in Finland. Last chapter:

Sign of the hammer on a warrior's chest

he battles like a bear.

With strength of Ukko deep in his heart

the last man now may fall.

[saturnalia696]

MoonSorrow is one of the best band ever! European Metal the best!

[YamiFab]

why only finland have that great metal bands here on mexico are a few ones the fucking music that rules here is a stupid thing called regeton

[BL00DSTR34M]

On se niin pirun hieno biisi.

I have all of their albums, legally bought :)

So.

Fucking.

Great.

[jobafinland]

and again we finnish people can be so proud that we have bands like MoonsorroW...en paljon metallista perusta mut tää on kyl(muiden sorrowin biisien ohella) yks maailman parhaista biiseist...sooo epic!!

[hassan0rocker]

FINLAND is the land of the metal. keep it rock on hell-sinki

special hy to all finnish people from morocco.

[Milanwhatever]

This is not fair! How is it possible, that Finland has so many epic bands, including the best - Moonsorrow. :) But its nice to see a nation which defends true music and is not spoiled by hiphop and other shits. You finnish guys really have things to be proud of... I must make my way there sometimes :) Long live to finnish metal and Hail from Czech Republic!

[NitraQaZ]

I'm norwegian and i want ALL Finnish people that i LOOOOOVE finland and OFC this beautyfull band <3 allso C.o.b, Ensiferum and Wintersun are my god's of music <3

[Suholaani]

The lyrics are so true. The truth of how fucking christianity came here in Finland.

Moonsorrow owns, the best metal band in Finland, and that's really something.

[rak000]

at night i roam the forests while listening to this song

[quest4tanelorn]

It ends too fucking soon.

[Seretur00]

Does it only seem to me, or truly does finnish music SO FUCKING RULE????

[olefrithjof]

you got that right.. finnish all sorts of metal is great. moonsorrow in particular..

[Trollina666]

Is that true,that in Finland every 5th man is finnish? :P

[Scorpios88]

"Is that true,that in Finland every 5th man is finnish? :P"

...what? Not at all, this is still a very racially and culturally homogenous country. Unfortunately, that kind of a demographic disaster is indeed facing many European countries in this century. Support nationalist and anti-immigration parties, and it could perhaps still be avoided.

[sociopathicregret]

i have a huge poster of the video image

[joosami85]

110% agree and im going to see then on a gig this friday :D

[vilarcra]

Unique!! All song is great, but I speacially enjoy the part from 5:20-6:00

[Ihokasvaakaarnaa]

I love this song, Moonsorrow on aivan huippu! suomenkieli on pelkkää plussaa!=)

[joosami85]

[BlackMetal878789]

Dude, you know the language or you dont. I know for a fact you used a translator, and what you said is totally out of context

[smiba]

[panzerfaustchile]

Great Song!!!!!!

KIITOS!!!!!
