@startrekmakesmehappy I have never heard people say Austria has the best European metal, it's always Finland or Norway....what bands are you thinking of?
Although I have been listening to this for many years, I still cannot stop liking it. Its primal yet epic guitar riffs and keyboard themes make this a masterpiece. Unfortunately, the band has slowly shifted away from this kind of music (still being a great band though).
I started learning finnish 3 months ago and it's actually a very diffiicult language (being a Greek i'd say it's more difficult than my language) but i love the way it flows.
It's so..... poetic ....even without the music
Still, Moonsorrow music kicks ass and I love it!!!!! Hail Suomen Folk Metal !! \m/
Amon armarth doesn't got shit on Moonsorrow. These guys are true folk/viking metal, and one of the best bands of the genre around. This, to me is the true ideal of viking metal, its about cultural pride and heritage (not about hatred like those nazis that come out of the woodwork to claim, the Nazis STOLE viking imagery and associated it with their crimes) not swilling beer. Quorthon would be proud of these guys.
@Vmt16 I almost understand you, I can't stand songs sung in French, though it's my native language. But to foreign ears, Finnish is a beautiful language ;)
hahaha . . . oh wow. . . its official... With Moonsorrow and Nightwish both hailing from Finland, the Finns are musical geniuses. Their language lends itself to the darker side of music as well, things like doom metal and symphonic metal.
Thank you for the clarification. My comment was from the fact that Finnish is generally considered a melodious, if melancholic language. I will have to look up Korpiklaani. thank you again. :)
Just recently found this band and I have to say it gets better everytime you hear a song, although it was practically as good as it could get from the very start.
@allobern I've heard that France has come out with some great music lately. Could you recommend any bands. The only one I've really heard is Fallen Joy.
yes i agree. theyre actually a very good band. but i dont think theyre the best band in melodic death metal/viking metal like alot of folks say. to be the best in my opinion you have to have some CLASSIC material, and alot of it! the only three songs i can think of by amon that are worthy of being classic are thousand years of oppression, beheading of a king, and under a nothern star
It's folk/pagan/black metal. Their earlier stuff was very close to black metal, while their later stuff is more of folk metal with black metal roots. They've taken a more black metal turn recently.
Why all the thumbs down? Moonsorrow notably takes influence from Metallica, they did a cover of For Whom The Bell Tolls, it was on youtube a while ago, not sure if it still is.
who cares what kind of metal it is? metal is metal, deal with it. just be happy its metal. just wasting time arguing with people. besides, im sure we ALL can agree that this is metal
Get over it, black metal as a genre has evolved. It doesn't all have to sound like Darkthrone; the genre would be pretty fucking boring if it did.
Moonsorrow is often categorised as black metal, and it probably fits in that category okay. It's not true black metal -- it seems to me it's blackened folk metal, but shit, I thought people had gotten over that obsession with true (or is that tr00?) and decided to care about how good something is, and lets not kid ourselves here, this is good stuff
Thank you Moonsorrow for playing black metal with a twist and non-satanic lyrics. Keep on pounding stellar albums. Come to Singapore dudes!! We'll headbang together to your songs..even though its not in English
great album,great band !!!! greetings from italy
