A great band, and very epic songs. At least on two latest releases *
mielikki 22.07.09 - 06:03pm
My favourite is Verisakeet. You ruoska? *
ruoska 23.07.09 - 01:37pm
I like V: Havitetty and the Tulimyrsky EP but my favourite song is probably Koylionjarven Jaalla *
mielikki 23.07.09 - 04:44pm
Mine is Karhunkynsi or Kaiku *

Moonsorrow is a fantastic name. .give an idea of a calming somber sound *
borae 9.08.09 - 01:16am
Though being black metal. .i doubt it *
borae 8.11.09 - 09:44pm
oops. i knew the name was familiar. i had hoped to read id heard them and enjoyed it. . .anyhow. .ive an alb*m of their ariving this week. *
mielikki 8.11.09 - 10:30pm
What album? 
*
borae 8.11.09 - 11:35pm
cant remember how to spell it, i can barely grasp english enough to work cliparts, let alone foreign doings. . .2007 ? *
borae 8.11.09 - 11:44pm
v havitetty. bad call? *
mielikki 9.11.09 - 12:29am
That's it 
Not sure you'd like it. 2 songs together lasting an hour *
borae 9.11.09 - 01:01am
f 6quid id better learn to like. .ah well, itll be an excercise in endurence if nothing else *
mielikki 9.11.09 - 02:59am
Maybe not the best alb*m to introduce them *
borae 10.11.09 - 10:22pm
still, maybe ill surprise you, though by enlarge, you tend to be quiet accurate *
borae 19.11.09 - 12:41am
actually no. you were quite wrong. i rather enjoyed it, mostly instrumental, maybe i liked it because i wasnt expecting what i heard, i was expecting something a whole lot harsher and full on from your reaction to it. .well done. .you should dash my hopes and expectations more often. *
darkxn 19.11.09 - 07:07pm
LOL @borae; sounds gr8.. think thats another 4 my wish list..! *
borae 19.11.09 - 08:02pm
i would say so. .between you and i. .ignore Mielikki. she obviously hasnt a clue
. as she said. .only 2 tracks spanning quite some length. but it takes you away with it,if you alow it, not quite nearly in a wardruna sense. .but nearly *
borae 19.11.09 - 08:05pm
by the by. its not like wardrunor at all. but i know what im getting at. *
aenglisc 14.02.10 - 01:51am
i have v-havittey and verisakeet which are supurb. .ive another to which name escapes me that ive not listened to since taking of the shrinkwrapping. .has a figure that reminds me of egypts Anubus, i know its most likley a finnish figure. *
mielikki 14.02.10 - 01:56am
Verisakeet is my favourite alb*m by them *
aenglisc 14.02.10 - 02:35am
stunning looking alb*m too. Gloss black jewel case with a small gold Moonsorrow logo centre right. .im scared of breaking it. .even getting a fingerprint on it. its a beaut. *
mielikki 17.03.10 - 02:46am
*
bby_g 17.03.10 - 03:09am
Very cool :o) *
aenglisc 17.03.10 - 09:20pm
looks well. do we know if its machine or hand made? *
mielikki 17.03.10 - 10:05pm
Hand made *
aenglisc 17.03.10 - 11:25pm
Makes it even more impressive to me *
aenglisc 1.07.10 - 08:21pm
Dont have many of Moonsorrow's work, but from those i do, VIIDES LUKU - HAVITETTY is plaed more often of the 3.
maybe its heavily more instrumental or focussed on an atmospheric creation than many other c.ds i have or have knowledge of.
maybe ive miss judged it and got it all wrong, and if i knew Finnish id have a different view. . .but so far in VisionorVoid. .theres only this, Wardrunas Gap var. . and possible Ashes against the grain on the same level *
