Moonsorrow - 14-LP Box Set Art Revealed


The long-awaited upcoming Moonsorrow 14xLP box set previously announced has its pre-order date set for May 28th, 2014, as announced by Finnish label Blood Music. The box set promises to be the largest metal box set of all-time and spans almost the entire career of the Finnish outfit. The label and the band have been releasing one image per day, slowly revealing all the details about the set. The newly-drawn, unifying cover art has been unveiled for every item within the set, including Suden Uni, Voimasta Ja Kunniasta, Verisäkeet, V: Hävitetty, Tulimyrsky, Demos & Rarities, and a Moonsorrow DVD.

The images were hand-drawn by artist Rainbath Visual (Reuben Sawyer). A bigger size image of the full collection here.

You can follow all the new updates on this Blood Music release on their Facebook page as well as other details about the artworks.

All due respect to fans of Moonsorrow (I've never listened to them) this is ridiculous. That's more vinyl than on the floor in my kitchen.

Hey, if you can afford it and the band interests you it's a pretty amazing thing.

If by new Voimasta Ja Kunniasta artwork they mean a black and white version of the original, then yeah. TOTALLY NEW.

It is an amazing thing, but I can't fiscally justify spending the money on a collection that I will only listen to half of.

Hey folks! If you don't know the band, you can have a listen:

Thanks for the kind words!

For those who don't like the images - the idea was to structure the entire collection together with single unifying elements. We didn't just turn the artwork black-and-white. We had an artist painstakingly redraw every detail from every cover, which required months and months of work. We have the original drawn images here, and they're insane and beautiful.

We will be revealing the inner layouts one-by-one on our Facebook page, starting tomorrow.

Also, the band's new record is not nearly completed, so we could not include it in the set. Also, we left "Varjoina ... " out, as we stated, because 14xLPs is already pretty immense and the band is still recording.

For now, here is the rest of the hand-drawn graphic elements that go on the record jackets themselves, as well as the collection's title:

I'll be getting this, shame no Varjoina... is included, even if it is quite easy to acquire a LP copy unlike the others.... When you make a 14 lp boxset, one more vinyl or one less shouldn't be a big deal
