Moonsorrow is back with their fourth full-length album, the chances that you don't know this band are very rare, because these Finns have obtained quite a share of popularity in the past years with their Blackish Viking/Folk Metal. This time things are a little different, while they still hang out in the Viking genre and they still sing in Finnish, the approach of the music is more Dark, and at the same time, Progressive and mostly of all, Epic.

An extremely great and magnificent album full of raw blackness and touching beauty. Probably the best album of the band.

For me those songs are quite long for me to enjoy them (though in general i like long songs)...maybe i need more and more careful listenings...

In my opinion the main idea of the album is expressly to listen to it very carefully so that the listener could enjoy it as much as possible. Because the atmospheres of the album are quite "deep" and "large" it takes more than few listenings to get into it. Patience is the key word.
