MOONSORROW Confirmed For UK's BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR Festival

September 14, 2007

Finnish folk/pagan metal band MOONSORROW is the first confirmed artist for the Bloodstock Open Air festival, set to take place August 15-17, 2008 at Catton Hall in Derbyshire England. This will be the band's only UK festival appearance of 2008.

Commented the Bloodstock festival organizers: "Bloodstock will be confirming bands for 2008 in the coming weeks. We are negotiating as we speak with some incredible bands for next year and we will ensure we bring bands to the UK that rarely play as well as bands that are highly requested by the metal masses."

MOONSORROW released its latest album, "Viides Luku – Hävitetty", in North America in April via Unruly Sounds/The End Records. The CD — 56 minutes of music comprised from two songs — continues to place the group as one of the forerunners of the folk/viking metal scene due in part to their extensive use of folklore and pagan elements in their music and imagery.

Released in Europe in January, "Viides Luku - Hävitetty" entered the German national chart at position No. 72. The CD was recorded between May and August 2006 at Tico Tico and The Stable studios and was mixed by Ahti Kortelainen and Henri Sorvali. Mastering duties were handled by Mika Jussila.
