new Moonsorrow

[J.]

because they sound happy at times?

i get what you're saying, but that doesn't mean it makes sense.

compared to pagan type bands like old Helheim, old Falkenbach, Graveland, etc, moonsorrow is jollyfolk

meh, ever since Voimasta, moonsorrow haven't impressed me.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

If you cant enjoy Jollyfolk because you take your music to seriously, thats a terrible shame and pretty damn silly.
Better yet if you cant take a band serious because you think the melodies are too happy and folky, well thats kinda sad. Some of you negroids need to lighten up and take music as it is.

I think it needs time

Most definitely, given the length of the tracks. I've listened to both tracks quite a few times already, and there's some stunning stuff going on here, but yeah, I think it will take a while for each track to really sink in as a whole. Early impressions are that this is everything I hoped for, and probably more.

100% agreed.

 

[Arunas]

yeah, I agree it needs time, it becomes so complex with such long tracks. And the beginning, aaaaaaaaaah, so powerful!!!

 

[Demonspell]

I agree, the first six to eight minutes is an epic in its own right. The next holy shit moment was that acoustic/harmony guitar break around 16:00 approximate. While it should be obvious that something of this scope takes repeated listening to grasp, what struck me immediately was that the flow between the sections of mega-epic no. 1 was much more natural than I expected.

 

[Doom]

This is the best album of 2007

 

[MFJ]

MFJ, still the master of folk metal, gives his seal of approval

 

[MFJ]

btw, this isn't jolly at all. so stop talking about that.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

My friend gave me a CD-R of this yesterday. I've heard funeral doom with more jolly folk you cretins. Pretty awesome after a few listens.

 

[Ellestin]

This is the best album of 2007

Lunar Aurora - Andacht

 

[hibernal_dream]

This is some smashing metal. Successors to Bathory? I'd probably rather listen to this than Twilight of the Gods

 

[Tranquillian]

Anyone else think there is something wrong with the production?

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I was listening to it in Marko's car when I was in Finland in August and I was liking it alot.

they let Marko drive? that's terrifying

 

[jimbobhickville]

So, I like this album a lot, what else should I check out? I'm not too up-to-date on the whole folk metal scene, so recommendations are welcome. Keep in mind that I hate black metal.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

all of their albums

Moonsorrow Reviews

review of the new one.

moonsorrow lucked out because Graveland's new one was postponed till next year

 

[JayKeeley]

I don't even need reviews for Moonsorrow, they are a blind buy. Still, the 10/10 score has me excited like a school girl.

 

[hibernal_dream]

Anyone else think there is something wrong with the production?

There's definitely something wrong with the bass, and the rest of the instruments sound quiet. Hopefully it's only the leak

 

[Doom]

Did anyone buy this yet? If so, where from?
