I bought this CD a couple days ago. I've never heard a song quite like this and I've been listening to metal for a long time. It's hard to describe, but this song takes away all doubt, sorrow and worry from me. It is utterly amazing in every aspect of the word. This song also sounds like it has classical roots. It's sounds like a Bach song transformed into metal, especially the last part where the song teases the ending making that last chord so much more satisfying. One of the best songs ever.
@Rockingdude1990 This isn't screamo though. Harsh vocals yes but the entire album is a concept album about the end of the world and the vocals are merely a reflection of that for atmospheric purposes.
@Cloud23 actually they (the band) prefer the term 'epic heathen metal' or u cud say just good 'ol Viking folk metal!
I'v got ALL there stuff, absollutly freekin awsome, they never seace to amaze me. just kinda wish they produce another Kivenkantaja album, but slightly more in a different way somehow.... MOONSORROW FOREVER!!! \,,/
"Favourite bands: Slipknot, Bullet for my valentine, Asking Alexandra, My chemical romance, Bring me the horizon, Atryu, Linkin Park, In this moment, Korn, Five finger death punch, Escape the fate, Avenged sevenfold, 30 seconds to mars, Iron maiden, Metallica and so on! "
You aren't a fan of metal. You're a fan of faggotry.
Holy fuck, this blew me away. You have release dates for Europe...will it be available for those of us unfortunate to live in the USA? I could just order it online...
Can I say that this album...I just read some of the English translations on darklyrics... Should be regarded as the Finnish modern version of Virgil's Aeneid? of course with a "pagan" slant lol
Amazing,I have lost my breath...Finnish language should be the main tongue of Viking, battle and pagan metal, they r simply the best. Best regards from Carpathians in Slovakia
@Pohjanhenki Mietimpa kuinka saatanan syvältä tämä kuulostais pelkillä puhtailla. Ei sillä, että niissä olisi vikaa, mutta jos halutaan kuvata tuskaa ja muuta, kyllä tuo "oksennus" kuvaa sitä paljon paremmin. Poista vaha korvistas..
@ParoniSamedi Tuo alkuosa kommentistasi on ihan asiallinen palaute ja makuasiahan tuokin tuskan kuvailu on. Kuitenkaan sitten et malta olla lässyttämättä asiattomuuksia..: "Poista vaha korvistasi". He hee! Sori, jos astuin varpaillesi. ;-)
@Pohjanhenki, miksi? ajatus on sama jos ihan pro-luokan klasari konserttikitaristi kesken soitannan kaivaa sähkärin casesta ja rupee vetämään säröt kaakossa esmes vaikka emperoria. klassisen ystävät saisivat sydänkohtauksen samantien. ei sitä voi sen paremmin selittää, jotkut tyylit tukevat tietyn tyyppistä ulosantia paremmin kuin toista. esmes jos moonsorrow vetäisi puhtailla tulisi heille tyypillisen "wall of soundin" antaa enemmän tilaa nyansseille yms. emt. ajatus puhtaista ei vaan toimi
A video posted on YouTube with no negative views, thoughts, 'thumbs down'.. Only Moonsorrow could do such an amazing feat. Hail the gods of Heathen Metal!
Oh gods...I must have this album. when are the north american release dates, dammit!
Aaaand this song reminds me a bit of the really big epic/symphonic parts of "Kivenkantaja", plus the blacker/more brutal newer sound. A winning combination! No doubt "Varjoina" will be anotehr masterpiece.
@guill62 I totally get your point. They played Huuto on the radio few weeks ago and I thought that's all I'm going to listen before the release and here we are :D I'm addicted
really shame about the quality cause i bet THEREs so much awesomeness going on. but it makes the wait that much better... knowing that a poor quality song can be so epic already.
What buggers me off though is the fact that they are releasing the album in UK 2 days before releasing it here in Finland... They are a Finnish band for gods sake...
It's beautiful and powerful, tragic and triumphant... I knew I was going to enjoy this album, but this one song alone has blown all expectations out of the water.
This song is just unbelievable excellent... its full of glory, amazing power and melody. Moonsorrow is the only band who didn't get worst in later years. And here we are, 2011, and they did another masterpiece...
3:37 WHAT A FUCKING BEAST GUITAR RIFF, IT TEAR OFF MY HEAD !?
@Nahalsiva I agree... Even though I don't listen to much metal anymore in these days, this still amazes me. Moonsorrow definitely deliver while I've lost interest in most of the metal bands that I used to listen to, say 5 years ago.
@crapass666 Yeah I meant exactly that! The opening melody here reminds me of these lines in Pimeä: "Tässä maailmassa ei ole mitään / Ei tyhjyydessä elämää jäljellä / Ne joita pelkäät eivät pelkää ketään / Olet yksin etkä tiedä missä"
Vá hvað ég get ekki beðið eftir að kaupa þennann disk!! þá veður haldið heljarinnar mikið teiti!! mun svo sjá þá spila þetta EPIC efni á METAL CAMP í sumar!!
Only heard two minutes and it already is amazing. When Moonsorrow plays, they take me to another world, they can make magic happen with their music <3
awesome intro!
