Moonsorrow - Tulimyrsky


New Ep of this amazing,and best band of Epic heathen metal,or viking metal for someone..
Tulimyrsky (meaning "firestorm") is the fantastic new EP from the Finnish "epic heathen metal" band Moonsorrow. Although it is classified as an EP, its total playing time is over an hour long, primarily due to the one new song on the disc, "Tulimyrsky." At an epic half-hour length, "Tulimyrsky" features the epic builds and anthemic progressions Moonsorrow are best known for.

The remaining tracks on the disc are a cover of Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls" (which, it could be argued, Moonsorrow successfully make their own), two re-recorded songs from their early demos, and a cover of Merciless' "Back To North" which certainly does not sound out of place on a Moonsorrow disc.

The band's talent for writing gloriously epic extreme metal is unmatched, in my opinion, and I personally cannot wait for the next full-length album.
Must heard it.

Style: Epic heathen metal,viking metal
Origin: Finland
Lyrics: Paganism, Folklore, Legends
Year: 2008

Moonsorrow,They are known for their extremely long songs and epic, organic composition. The band call their sound "Epic heathen metal" and try to distance themselves from the term "Viking metal" as much as possible, due to their lyrics not concerning Vikings. Their lyrics are heavily based on Finnish and Scandinavian traditions, legends and poetry, even though they are written in Finnish. A good example is the song Sankaritarina, which features lyrics directly translated from the Havamal.

Tracklist:

1. Tulimyrsky 29:45
2. For Whom The Bell Tolls (Metallica cover) 07:42
3. Taistelu Pohjolasta (2008 version) 08:11
4. Hvergelmir (2008 version) 09:30
5. Back To North (Merciless cover) 13:08
