Moonsorrow 2011 release(Discussion)

Me too, they're releasing it with a nice booklet too

It makes me sick how easy it is to get free music these days. There's no honor in pirating anymore, not when a 7 year old knows how to download an x-box 360 game. I admit I download occasionally but I buy most of the time.

I honestly tried to order this c-d/shirt package the other day and my CC company wouldn't allow it.I don't know if it was because it was down at the time or they didn't trust the European website. This and new Burzum are so hard to find in America. I would own every Moonsorrow album by now if I could find them.

Im a shameless pirate myself, have about 50 gigs worth of music downloaded, something like 30 PC games and I used to have a lot of movies too. I've bought only like 2 - 3 albums in the past but I think I might start buying them more now with so many great releases coming.

 

[Sven Pakkanen]

Well its not your fault it's so easy now. Might as well take advantage of it. I just can't stand the thought of working hard to make something for it to not even cover itself when released.

I have a collection of over 600 albums i have spent my money on since I was 13, I'm 24 now and need money for other things these days...It's just easier to download.

Just uploaded the Tähdetön song if someone wants to hear it;



(Recorded it from Ylex Areena so the quality isnt the best)

Its 720p btw

 

[IntoPhagist]

I'm still gonna wait.

Sure does sound good old Moonsorrow. Sound is desperate and apocalyptic yet epic. It reminds me of V: Hävitetty and melancholic parts from Verisäkeet. This album is gonna come same time with the Turisas' Stand Up And Fight. We'll see which one is better.

 

[Sven Pakkanen]

Going to be hard to compare, since they have very different styles, unless one of them decides to start releasing horrible music.

 

[HolyJari]

The albums out now in the UK. Just downloaded it (im gonna buy it later though), and i'll listen to it in a moment. Anyone heard it yet?

 

[Evil Dead]

Havitetty was boring. My fave is still Voimasta, probably because it was my first.

Voimasta, Kivenkantaja and Verisakeet is all the Moonsorrow anyone needs.

Exactly

 

[Nichrome]

Got it today at HMV. I enjoyed it, maybe not quite as much as Verisakeet or Havitetty though. Last two songs are absolute class

 

[IntoPhagist]

Not their best but still great.

In my previous post I told you how it's gonna be hard to compare Moonsorrow's new and Turisas' new material. I've made my decisions.

Turisas has gotten themselves too far away from their classy style of battle metal and sounds like movie music now. I feel disappointed.

But Moonsorrow has grown dark and epic. I like the apocalyptic atmosphere in Varjoina kuljemme kuolleiden maassa. Every second song is there just for atmosphere: you can hear different kind of sounds of a lonely, destroyed ruin of a world. I consider this as a concept album where everything is made for the same whole story. It's not as folky as Hävitetty but sure has the same great style I waited to hear from Moonsorrow again. It sounds cold and dark yet very epic. Lyrics haven't opened for me yet, have to keep on listening.

Sorry bro. I dont want to hear a camp fire crackling for four minutes.

I laughed pretty hard when I read this! I love the entire album, Viides Luku: Havitetty actually.. even the crackling campfire is nice.

I think this album will definitely be up there with Havitetty!
