Moonsorrow

Moonsorrow is a Finnish pagan metal band formed in Helsinki in 1995. Musically, the band incorporates elements of black metal and folk metal. The band describe their style as “epic heathen metal” and aim to distinguish it from the term “Viking metal”. They have also distanced themselves from other folk metal bands, stating that their music is intended to be pagan and spiritual in character and is meant to be challenging for the listener rather than celebratory or dance-oriented.
