MOONSORROW To Enter Studio Tomorrow
September 1, 2010Finnish folk/pagan metal band MOONSORROW will enter the studio tomorrow (Thursday, September 2) to begin recording its new album for a late February 2011 release. The group states, "We have been working on the new material throughout the summer, and despite the extremely hot weather we've had in Finland, none of it is present in the atmosphere of the new songs. This stuff is cold, heavy and crushing. Lyrically we're dealing with life after the end of the world, so there is no light at the end of that tunnel either."
You can follow MOONSORROW's recording sessions, which will take place at various studios in Finland, at the band's newly launched studio blog.
MOONSORROW's latest EP, "Tulimyrsky" (Firestorm),came out in April 2008 via Spikefarm Records. The CD contains over 60 minutes of music, including a cover version of METALLICA's "For Whom The Bell Tolls".
The band's most recent album, "Viides Luku – Hävitetty", was released in North America in April 2007 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.
