MOONSORROW's MITJA HARVILAHTI Interviewed On Israel's 'Met Al Metal' (Audio)

December 20, 2013

"Met Al Metal" — Israel's Metal radio show hosted by brothers Lior and Niv Peleg — recently conducted an interview with guitarist Mitja Harvilahti of Finnish crusaders of epic heathen metal MOONSORROW. You can now listen to the program using the audio player below.

MOONSORROW last year inked a worldwide deal with Century Media Records.

2011 saw the release of MOONSORROW's most majestic album of the year, "Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa", a full-fledged concept effort about a world after annihilation.

"The title means 'As Shadows We Roam The Land Of The Dead'," Harvilahti told Australia's Xpress Magazine. "It has a storyline of a group of people that are searching for life and future in the dead world. It's our first complete concept album and everything — the music, lyrics and the artwork — goes hand in hand with the story.

"I recommend people buy the vinyl copy of it to enjoy it in the best possible way, with the big pictures of the gatefold.

"CD really killed the visuality from music and Internet downloading killed the rest, but vinyl is coming back.

"We have a huge 13 LP collectors' edition box coming out next year. That is, at the moment, the biggest LP box ever in the history of metal. It will be gorgeous with all the art and extra stuff."

The box will be made available via Blood Music, although no release date has yet been set.

"Blood Music contacted us and told us how much they would love to do this mega-release," Harvilahti explained. "We saw how much effort and attention to detail and art they put into their releases, so we immediately understood that this is the right companion for our long-awaited LP release."
