This song is the ultimate fusion of black metal elements: You've got strong keyboard melodies ala early Dimmu, sweeping Emporer-esque high flying guitar work, powerful vocals and folk chants, and if you listen at 5:15 you get the distinctive Thorns guitar tone.
Moonsorrow is an extremely talented band who knows their proper roots unlike so many these days.
3:30 to 4:26 = My favourite riff of this song. :)

Incredible song by the world's greatest Irish Doom Metal group! At least, I think they're Irish.
TheDarkHumour 2 years ago
they're finnish :) And Moonsorrow tends to label themselves as 'Epic Heathen Metal' it isn't doom

They sound really Irish in their cover of "For Whom the Bell Tolls." Never even heard of Epic Heathen Metal, though. Still, a badass band.

It cant be dimmu borgir this song is written in 1998 ore somthing. And they got major influened by Emperor JUST like dimmu borgir.

The only difference is that Moonsorrow developed very well and Dimmu Borgir didn't ;-)

Fucking typos. -.- What I meant to say was that it reminded me a bit of Dimmu Borgir and Finntroll.
Amazing song. :D

I totally agree with windir88.
This song is rly amazing, but the older version with the beginning is even more epic/atmospheric.

Sounds like the first Enslaved album. A good song, but not ground breaking. Listen to Midgards Eldar, 15 years ago.

Helkutin kova ralli, vokalistin ääni vaan tahtoo jotenkin vähän "hukkua".
