  MOONSORROW
Moonsorrow was formed in autumn 1995 by cousins Henri and Ville Sorvali who desired to expand their musical expression onto a more profound level.
The official debut of Moonsorrow was realized in winter 1997 from two new songs which Henri had already arranged to their final.
Right after "Metsä" Moonsorrow also recorded a two-song promotape that was supposed to mark the direction of their musical development.

 Metal Reviews - Metal Coven Webzine - Metal Reviews - Moonsorrow - Kivenkantaja
I think that may have to do with the fact that Moonsorrow's guitarist/keyboardist/accordion player Henri Sorvali also plays keyboards for Finntroll, and they may be trying to distance Moonsorrow's music from Finntroll a bit.
It's just Moonsorrow's Humppa influence was never as dominant a force as Finntroll's was, and it's even less dominant on this new album.
Moonsorrow's lyrics are written and sung in Finnish and thankfully the lyric book includes English translations to these mighty tales of pagan life.

 Moonsorrow - Voimasta Ja Kunniasta - review
Moonsorrow is a Finnish band like those, but they perform very good music that could be categorised as Viking metal.
I once read their music was in the vein of Bathory´s “Hammerheart” and similar things but I don´t really think so: this is not the typical viking metal where the main traits are repetitive melodies, “we´re boozing in a tavern and we are proud to plunder foreign shores” vocals, boring drums and so on.
As I say, this band is ahead of the pack of viking bands; first of all, Moonsorrow give preponderance to aggresive vocals in the vein of classic fl metal, being their use of clean singing lines very sensible and wise.

 Moonsorrow - 'Suden Uni' review @ into-obscurity.com[enter the underground]
Moonsorrow have really combined two distinct genres of fl metal into one interesting blend.
The guitar work is for the most part filled with melodic harmonies...there isn't much in the way of brutal stuff chugged out by the string pluckers anywhere on the album.
The most interesting aspect of Moonsorrow is their choice of keyboard sounds.

 Moonsorrow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moonsorrow is a folk/viking metal band formed in Helsinki, Finland in 1995.
The group's earliest formation consisted of cousins Ville Sorvali (vocals and bass) and Henri Sorvali (guitar and keyboards) who released various demos that were much more characteristic as being Melodic fl metal, musically, than future releases.
After recruiting Mitja Harvilahti and Markus Eurén, Moonsorrow started their first shows, releasing Voimasta Ja Kunniasta (Of Strength and Honour) in the late 2001.

 Metal-Rules.com: Interview with Moonsorrow
Finland´s own armored crusaders Moonsorrow, have been making themselves known by their three somewhat pompous epic Heathen Metal full-length albums thus far.
Their latest battle saga titled KIVENKANTAJA (“Stonebearer”), really displayed more than well these young warriors´ true abilities to be one of the leaders of the genre and some of the best and finest troops in the ´Viking Metal´ department.
I mean, the way you had set some sort of an optimal time-frame for these particular songs as far as their maximum length was concerned, kind of trying avoid adding too many parts into them for the sake of the length and keeping them better sort of in a decent length?

 BNR Metal Pages -- Moonsorrow   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Formed in 1995 by two cousins (the Sorvalis), Moonsorrow appeared to come out of nowhere in 2001 with no less than three releases, though in actuality their debut had been recorded over a year earlier and the second release (Tama Ikuinen Talvi) is a remixed version of an earlier demo.
But while Finntroll songs are quick and to the point, Moonsorrow specializes on sprawling epics (moreover, Moonsorrow doesn't incorporate the humppa influences).
Simply put, Moonsorrow is absolutely the best Viking metal band in existence today, and their last two albums in particular are metallic gems of the highest quality.

 Voimasta Ja Kunniasta by Moonsorrow CD
Moonsorrow are a band quite like nothing I've ever heard before - an extremely talented lot of more than proficient musicians who make a brand of music that is truly unique - and epic.
The music itself is a beautiful blend of traditional Finnish folk music and hard melodic metal, with vocals sung in their native Finnish language that comes across as an ethereal scream.
Moonsorrow are the first band I've encountered under a Pagan banner that I can say genuinely knows what they are writing about.

 THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - MOONSORROW - Suden Uni (Re-Release)
Tulkaapa Ij T! MOONSORROW's current album "Kivenkantaja" absolutely deservedly stands in my personal Top 20 of 2003, as one of the absolute Viking Metal highlights of that year.
Even back then it had been the goal of the band to make Folk influenced Pagan Metal and even though you can or rather have to draw a fine line between these two styles, the debut of these folks to me is Viking Metal - and if I may add truly excellent.
From the introducing wolf's howl of "Ukkosenjumalan Poika" on MOONSORROW pull you in deeper and deeper with their highly melodic Viking Metal and its great and grand melodies, driving, variable drums, rough vocals, very well implemented keyboards and the use of authentic instruments and also a melodic Black Metal eruption.

And by combining these two words you have the word "Moonsorrow", which in itself represent just a pure, silent and calm night where only those who travel in inner peace and balance are able to move further.
I guess mead has been a common drink since the day one as which is the case of home-made beer also, and there are known recipes from the old days, sagas where mead-making is praised...
I have never tried (and I know any other members of Moonsorrow haven't also done this) fly agaric and to be honest, I'd rather not, because I'm more into spiritual journeys done without any substances, be it alcohol or something else.
