These guys are basically the GOAT pagan/folk metal band. Henri Sorvali is a genius. Great picks! PS. "Fiesta Pagana" translates to "Pagan Party", but the comparison is still a good one.
I LOVE MOONSORROW! i literally love almost all their songs, i can put on any album from begin to end without skipping anything, theyre absolutely amazing
I was at the Heathen Crusade Metalfest when they played. It was in Minnesota in Jan 2006, their first US appearance, along with Primordial and Thyrfing.
OMG GUUUUYS!!! Thanks for reacting to this amazing baaaaand!!! It is one of my favorites, one of their songs is called Tulimyrsky it lasts almost 30 minutes but believe me, you will love it!!!!
this isnt the first time i've heard this - i own 3 of their albums - i really love this - and thanks for having something like this for others who havent heard it
There is proverb "Rakkaalla lapsella monta nimeä" it means "The preciouss child has many names". That folk instrument in the song 'Kylän Päässä' is Munni Harppu AKA jaw harp AKA vargan AKA mouth harp AKA gewgaw AKA khomus ect ect. It's basically a flexible piece of iron...like spring.
I get a kick out of how you use the term "death metal" to describe any form of extreme metal. I love Moonsorrow, and they're best described as pagan metal or perhaps blackened folk metal, not really death metal at all (which I also love!)
i have always liked Moonsorrow for their epic death black metal and yeh, it's not for everyone but I do love their music that does require you to really listen for its own unique sound which is very very Finnish ( a big plus)
You'd probably go bananas. One time I saw them, a decade ago, in Slovenia. They were the closing act of a week-long metal festival, situated in the beautiful mountain scenery of Tolmin. The stage was set in very fitting surroundings amongst old oak trees by the river. As the darkness fell on that warm summer evening, Moonsorrow whipped me into a kind of hypnotic frenzy that resulted in me shredding my perfectly good Sotajumala T-shirt right off my body with my bare hands, throwing it away and diving headfirst into the moshpit when they started "Kylän Päässä". Them singing in my native tongue makes it easy for me to appreciate the beatiful and folklore-ridden lyrics, and at that moment they went through my ears directly into my soul.
Love this band very epic love the name very cool and different good one keep the metal comming ill keep watching try some WARRIOR SOUL, WE CRY OUT FROM EARLY 9OS GOOD BAND YOU WILL LIKE THANKS HAIL USA
Guilty as charged - pulled the date from Spotify. That would make sense though, thanks - some of the best metal was released at the turn of the century. -Michael
Music is pretty awesome, but i can't listen this vocal. It's only my opinion. I like growling from Fabio Lione, coz he make this in another way (not so hard and demonic as most bands with this style of sing).
@@epicans6065 you know what. I understand what you wanna say and what do you call growling (black metal bands such as Behemoth), but you know what? If Fabio doing this lighter and using voice higher than it must be in a classical growling way, this does mean nothing, simply coz of Rhapsody style and fantasy theme. Can you imagine the ballad like The Mystic Prophecy of the Demonknight with classic powerful growling from hell?Then it be a nightmare, but not a fantasy.

That ending to Kylän Päässä is one my favorite Moonsorrow moments. So perfect!
Moonsorrow is in my top 3 favourite bands, and Kylän Päässä is an epic track!
I was at the Heathen Crusade Metalfest when they played. It was in Minnesota in Jan 2006, their first US appearance, along with Primordial and Thyrfing.
"Voimasta ja kunniasta" = of power and glory. I like kylän päässä (at the end of the village), I wish they had more songs like it.
OMG GUUUUYS!!! Thanks for reacting to this amazing baaaaand!!! It is one of my favorites, one of their songs is called Tulimyrsky it lasts almost 30 minutes but believe me, you will love it!!!!
Love this band - definitely top 5 metal bands for me right now
Excelent review, the 3 songs are amazing!!!
this isnt the first time i've heard this - i own 3 of their albums - i really love this - and thanks for having something like this for others who havent heard it
absolute grate band and i seen thes dudes playing here finland in joensuu...they kick ass
This was the instrument you were wondering about The Jew's harp, also known as jaw harp. :)
There is proverb "Rakkaalla lapsella monta nimeä" it means "The preciouss child has many names". That folk instrument in the song 'Kylän Päässä' is Munni Harppu AKA jaw harp AKA vargan AKA mouth harp AKA gewgaw AKA khomus ect ect. It's basically a flexible piece of iron...like spring.
Suden Uni was first released in 2001.

Captain America digging Finnish Metal love it lol
Killing Pasta, yes. :)
😂
do more moonsorrow! their album Viides luku - Hävitetty is a masterpiece with 2 30 minutes song!
saturnus is a great band to listen as well
i have always liked Moonsorrow for their epic death black metal and yeh, it's not for everyone but I do love their music that does require you to really listen for its own unique sound which is very very Finnish ( a big plus)
MOONSORROW,WINDIR,
FALKENBACH the best black-pagan-folk and viking metal!
Also Thyrfing is very good, and Ensiferum. But Moonsorrow holds an special place in the heart.
The unknown instrument in question is the Jew's harp or mouth harp (munniharppu in Finnish).
PAGAN FEAST !!! I don’t know what I would do if I heard this live
Metsatoll from Estonia - I’m sure you guys will like it

And also their brother band FINTROLL
Love this band very epic love the name very cool and different good one keep the metal comming ill keep watching try some WARRIOR SOUL, WE CRY OUT FROM EARLY 9OS GOOD BAND YOU WILL LIKE THANKS HAIL USA
React to Thyrfing - A Great Man's Return.
Greetings and thanks from Ukraine. 🙏
Check out some SEPTIC FLESH revolution dna thanks.
And Kylän Päässä is not a city, it can be translated as "A village away".
More like "at the end of the village" as said before in some comment. But I see what you mean there, could also mean that.
1065: akia from this band is also worthy of a reaction
I agree, it's like a hidden gem. so groovy
aika *
meaning time in finnish.
Suden Uni album is from 2001, not from 2008. Don't believe what Spotify tells you.

@@MetalAcademix Great video... and awesome beard!
@@MetalAcademix and Voimasta ja Kunniasta is also from 2001. The two first albums came in 2001.
I always thought it was crazy how moonsorrow wasnt really that interantional but they have alot of non finnish fans.
See this review I like because they do not spend an hour TALKING!!!! about nothing MOONSORROW is a great band as well
definitely not death metal, nor melodic death metal.
Music is pretty awesome, but i can't listen this vocal. It's only my opinion. I like growling from Fabio Lione, coz he make this in another way (not so hard and demonic as most bands with this style of sing).
growling from Fabio Lione? What ? xD
I guess it is sarcasm xD
@@epicans6065 He did it by his own way, that's the difference.
@@xSETUMx what do you call growling?
@@epicans6065 you know what. I understand what you wanna say and what do you call growling (black metal bands such as Behemoth), but you know what?

@@xSETUMx Fabio Lione just sings in a classical way maybe sometimes in an operatic way but he doesn't growl lol.
Love them!
