About: Apologies for being away so long and thank you to all who continue to follow me! Here is the album we've all been waiting for, for seven years.

Trollfest - Villanden (2009)




Genre: Folk Metal, Viking Metal, Black Metal, "Troll Metal", Beardcore (click at bottom if you don't know what that is :P)
About: This group was clearly inspired by other folk bands like Korpiklaani or Finntroll, but they have a very unique edge to them. For example, in the title track, some of the lyrics are: "Quack quack, quack quack!" Very unique and fun band if youre into these genres. They are the first metal band I've ever heard to use a trumpet. Also, it is good music to drink to.

Moonsorrow - Tulimyrsky EP (2008)




Genre: folk metal, viking metal, pagan metal, black metal
About: Quite possibly the most epic EP of all time. Starts off with the epic and varied self-titled song, weighing in at almost 30 minutes, then two re-recordings of old songs, and two covers, For Whom the Bell Tolls (Metallica cover), Back to North (Merciless cover).

This EP sees a set of visitors in form of actor Turkka Mastomäki, Olav Eira
(Áigi), Tomi Koivusaari (Amorphis), Oppu Laine (Mannhai) and Janne Perttilä
(Rytmihäiriö/Moonsorrow), all of whom contributed vocals.

From Finland, of course.

LINK REMOVED DUE TO COMPLAINT (This is why I mostly post underground stuff and my blog has so few followers) I have my own views about music sharing... I will leave it for another day. In essence, I would never be a fan of an awesome band such as Moonsorrow if it wasn't for it. If i really feel an artist deserved my hard earned money, I will do so. (Such as, i have purchased every Metallica and Rhapsody of Fire album on CD) If not, i should at least be able to hear it! Eh... not quite what i wanted to say but oh well.

However, you should definitely check this album out elsewhere.
BUY from official Moonsorrow shop

StormWarrior - Heading Northe (2008)




Genre: (Heavy Metal), (Power Metal), (Speed Metal), (Viking Metal)
About: If you haven't heard of this band, that is not a typo at the top. All their songs are titled like this and I feel it surprisingly adds to the immersion it gives you. It makes you think of ye olde times. But what am I ranting on about why havent you clicked download yet?!?! :P Oh and, happy band picture is happy.

Year: See year tag on bottom.

Týr - Land ( Tyr - Land )




Genre: Progressive Metal, Viking Metal, Folk Metal
About: I just saw them live last night, great show. Very unique band, give it a try if you're in for something new.
"Týr is a Viking Metal band from Faroe Islands. Its music can be described as a blend of viking, folk, and even hints of progressive metal. The band incorporates many folk elements and melodies in their songs, but the thing that makes Týr stand out is the musical inclusion of the island’s native folk structure. Týr’s songs include many rhythm changes and complex time signatures."

Retail album, not the promo with someone saying "You are listening to..." every few minutes!
