Sharpen your wooden spear and brush your bear pelt, epic heathen metal is making a comeback with the return of one of the most famous Finnish bands out there, Moonsorrow. It has been five years already since the dark sonic haunts of Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa so the release of Jumalten Aika does feel like a return in earnest. Meaning "The Age of Gods", their latest offering is a true rebirth of that larger-than-life pagan metal sound.

^Indeed. I love later Moonsorrow because of its bmness approach to folk metal.
I feel like a lot of people here judge them based on the earlier albums which were generic af, but from 2005 onwards Moonsorrow is one of my favs

Listening to this for the first time in a while during the long drought before a new Moonsorrow album. It's been years since I listened to the cover songs on this one and considering they did two covers on Tulimyrsky too I kind of wish they did an album of cover songs at some point during the last few years. They always put a good spin on the original while recreating it in their huge layered sound, so a cover album in place of something new (or rather nothing) would have been fun.
