Moonsorrow was a band I had extremely high hopes for after hearing their “Tämä Ikuinen Talvi” demo. The word “demo” does a terrible disservice to this release because not only is it long enough to be a full length album, it’s also so well written, played, and composed that it could be a band at the top of their career. The production isn’t bad either!
By their sophomore album, Moonsorrow had improved in many areas. The production, of course, was at a polished, professional level, and the mix sounds perfect here. The dense yet restrained orchestration is fantastic, the layering of numerous folk elements adds intrigue and aesthetic. The playing is of course more precise. The progression of songs also feels very strong, often featuring well-earned rests and crescendos.
The issue is, in my opinion, they regressed in terms of capturing mood. Or perhaps, it’s better to say, they moved away from the kind of mood I personally prefer. While their demo had a darker, more somber feel (as a band called Moonsorrow should) they had since gone towards the direction of more epic, uplifting, and unfortunately jovial sounding tracks. At the worst of times, the instruments and melodies can sound silly even.
I mean, the 3rd track “Kylän Päässä” prominently features boing boing noises, sounding like a goofy cartoon medieval villain’s theme song.
“Hiidenpelto” is where they get back into the territory I like. That is, dark! Sorrowful! Yet still retaining ... See More

탄탄대로 라는 말이 어울리는 2집입니다.여기에선 멤버가 4인조로 변함과 동시에,곡의 완성도또한 크게 향상됩니다.전작에서 보여줬던 약간 말랑한?느낌이 상당히 적어지고,바이킹적인웅장한 분위기 전체또한 크게 향상됩니다.전체적으로 키보드의 비중이 늘어나서 인지 블랙안같은 느낌도 들지만,트윈기타의 힘에서 느껴지는 조화는 상당히 듣기에 편안하게 들립니다.보이스역시 거칠어 졌는데,3집에서는 클린보컬의 비중이 쫌 늘어나게 되는데 그 전 앨범으로 생각하시면 됩니다

Nice album by Moonsorrow. The intro track didn't feel necessary to me. That's the only negative thing I can say; Good viking & folk metal.

세번째 작에서 드디어 훌륭한 바이킹 찬송가의 작곡법을 깨우쳐 버렸습니다. 잔가지에 가시가 돋힌듯 뭔가 어설픔히 얽혀있던 전작들에서 환골탈태하여 비장미, 서정미, 전투의 기상과 전통적 가치까지 고루 자리잡은 역작을 만들어 냈습니다. 첫 트랙의 선율부터 이미 압도하며, 긴 길이에도 지루함은 없고 이야기를 풀어나가는 과정 속의 흥미진진함 뿐입니다.

대부분의 바이킹메탈이 기승전결이 뚜렷하지 않아 그 곡이 그 곡같다는 단점이 있는데 비해 moonsorrow는 분명한 기승전결과 극적인 곡 구성을 통해 지루함을 전혀 느끼지 않게 해준다.
