Moonsorrow Haaska

[@Angarato86]

I'm a simple man, I see Moonsorrow I click like. 1 of the best bands of all time

[@evilii]

Simple man like complicated stuff! Story of my lifetime!

[@markopuranen5910]

This band is my spiritual healer. Has carried me through some dark times. For me, by far, the greatest band ever.

[@nuttycrackles]

my favorite band on the planet

[@roberttoompuu]

Discovered them 2 weeks ago, starting to become my favourite too

[@nuttycrackles]

@@roberttoompuu Nice! yeah I‘ve been a fan for several years now and (to me) they‘re the best ever!

[@YassineIC]

Did you listen to jotunheim?

[@nuttycrackles]

@@YassineIC yes of course!

[@markopuranen5910]

Same here!

[@mr.cromlech683]

Fun fact! This song was voted forward in a joint operation by XU and Epic Underground were the bands voted between was thought as essential metal bands one have to have heard. :) Moonsorrows song Jäästa Syntynyt/Varjojen Virta have won an Alliance poll before but it is 30 minutes long and V&S did not wanna do it. :P Maybe now you want to rethink about that decision @VIn and Sori! ;p

[@GenMVeers]

@Andrew But There is also _Tulimyrsky_ ("Firestorm"), which has a length of 29 min 45 s 😁!

[@gal2659]

Didn't wanna do it ? well.. it's their problem, they don't know what they're missing :) 30 minutes of perfect versatile music, best 30 minutes piece I've ever heard, not boring for a second. Honestly same goes for the second song of that album, the "only" 26 minutes one.

[@jonathanjonathan9141]

1 the most my favorite band from Finland

[@justadudefromfinland7212]

Four dislikes already. Y'all tripping. Moonsorrow is top notch!

[@draconianmethods479]

The same people disliking this are the same losers paying 150 to hear foo fighters and other mainstream nonsense

[@orphydianmusic9529]

Kylaan Paasa is my favorite rpic by them. Composition wuse they are like Dream Theater of pagan metal

[@feedusafetus]

This is easily my favourite moonsorrow song. When I got to see em live back in 2009 they played most of this album but NOT Haaska. Super sad. But loved it all the same. Best Band outta Finland, and my personal GOAT!

[@khellendross3573]

After the previous Moonsorrow pick was vetoed for being too long, we (XU and EU) were determined to make sure Moonsorrow did eventually get a reaction. This band is massively important. The 4 bands that made it to the end of this essential bands poll all deserve a reaction. as much as I love Moonsorrow I did not vote for them on this poll, simply because the band they were up against is so incredibly important. But alas, that band did not win. It was a very close vote. Hopefully some day... Terrific song, though you really should have done the 25 minute one that won the first poll. One of the most epic songs out there.

[@Holagrimola]

I'm honestly very satisfied with this being the song, if it hasn't been for the reaction I dont think I would have discovered it, even though I'm a massive moonsorrow fan :P And I do find the song incredibly awesome, as many of their songs are!

[@DarthWinterMadness]

Tuleen Ajettu Maa I assume? Hävitetty, the whole record is just perfect to wake up and start the day. Cheers from France! 🍻

[@myfaceismyshield5963]

Man I love Moonsorrow.. saw them live in Helsinki a few years ago

[@joshuahjones4065]

Moonsorrow are amazing. It's all about the atmosphere they present to the listener within their music. Similar to agalloch, only heavier.

[@loganviking3923]

Fastest click in a long time! I don't listen to a lot of folk metal, but I love Moonsorrow, (top-10 all time band for me), probably because they're on the blackened side of folk metal (otherwise called pagan metal if I'm not mistaken). Great discussion too.

[@_bats_]

Glad the first Moonsorrow song to get covered is from their absolute masterwork album. If this comment will get read at all: this album deserves a full listen-through. This song is just a small part of a whole.

[@Umbra-qk6ut]

Verisakeet is maybe my favorite album of all time. Moonsorrow towers over other bands

[@Balalaika74]

Finnish metal: struggle, melancholy, depression, death.

[@winterbear8633]

Don't forget coldness. The oh so familiar embrace of winter's merciless caress.

[@scottmgagnon]

Fun fact, Moonsorrow's principal songwriter, Henry Sorvali (aka Trollhorn), also composes music for Angry Birds games. (and other games a Rovio)

[@tubelious]

and Finntroll.

[@jotape5681]

Good trivia!!

[@Antifascista89]

Henri not ''Henry''

[@yourhero34]

Hopefully you all get to Huuto from them next. Absolutely amazing

[@_LagaKuula_]

Moonsorrow F yeah!! My favorite song from them is Huuto. That is just amazing.

[@haurg7418]

The entire album which huuto is from (not gonna even try to type the name lol) is awesome.

[@DarthWinterMadness]

​@@haurg7418 Varjoina Kuljiemme Kuolleiden Maasa. (Thanks to my Google keyboard for memorizing their crazy names.) Didn't like it when it came out, especially compared to their previous material. Then I decided to give it back a listen after a few years and well, it's extremely rewarding! I still have a tough time ranking them. Every album has something that makes it too awesome not to be no one. I don't know any other band that I can't rank at all throughout their entire discography. It's insane. It shows you how special this band is. Cheers from France! 🍻

[@haurg7418]

@@DarthWinterMadness Well yea if you liked the previous works i can see why, imo it feels more like black metal with folk elements than actual folk metal.

[@haurg7418]

@@DarthWinterMadness What about Meshuggah's discography?

[@DarthWinterMadness]

@@haurg7418 That's why they don't really consider themselves either black or folk metal. They describe it as Epic Heathen Metal, and it works. I call them Prog Rock though... To be honest, everytime I listened to a new album of theirs, I was disappointed because it was a bit too far from the previous record (whatever order you're listening for the first time, it applies). It took me a purposeful listen without the expectation of it sounding like the other to dig it. Now about Meshuggah... Well they're great, I love them. That said I'd need to actively listen to each album to be able to tell you. For the time being, I've enjoyed every song of theirs I've heard. But I don't come back to them as often or consistently than Moonsorrow, especially going through full albums actively listening on my own. I do it with the first two Ensiferum and the first Wintersun too . Back to Meshuggah, their two live albums are amazing, these guys are incredible. It's the two "albums" I've listen to the most at this point. Now that I think about it, it's the kind of band I'd rather see live (which I did and it was awesome) than to listen to the record, as good as it it ultimately.

[@roiheenokrivesud]

my favorite band, thank you

[@tusanen1850]

With Moonsorrow I don't want to see any video just close my eyes and feel the journey with them. Music for meditating.

[@iansutherland8096]

They're a really good live band. Even in a club you feel like you can hear the wind howling over the frozen tundra when they play! So atmospheric.

[@draconianmethods479]

Let's go! Some real content finally being covered!

[@Ray-lw2rh]

This song is epic

[@Ruhtinas84]

The most underrated band ever. Probably because of Finnish language, long songs and poor marketing. For starters I would've recommended "Ruttolehto sis. Päivättömän päivän kansa" "Köyliönjärven jäällä" or "Mimisbrunn"

[@Angarato86]

good choices, theyre all good choices. i'd go for kuin Ikuinen, Jumalten Kaupunki / Tuhatvuotinen Perinto , Kivenkantaja or Jotunheim

[@mr.cromlech683]

Huuto is another one high up there!

[@andresvallecillos8111]

Moonsorrow is the GOAT folk/pagan metal band, and this is one of the best metal records of the 2000s.

[@lunarwolf5555]

I LOVE Moonsorrow!

[@Exiletheheretic]

Unohduksen lapsi is one of the greatest songs that I have ever heard. One of the songs that got me into metal in the first place. Nice to see Moonsorrow on this channel. Two thumbs up.

[@Umbra-qk6ut]

Oh yessss, Unohduksen does not get nearly enough attention. I get chills just thinking about it.

[@Buffalo40]

Moonsorrow is my number 1 and fav band ever next to Colosseum (Funeral Doom)

[@larzey88]

I feel like focusing on the lyrics is the "wrong way" to listen to a Moonsorrow song for the first time. Instead just sit back, relax and enjoy the song with its great atmosphere and killer riffs! :)

[@matiask7633]

I kind of have to disagree. I'm not one to listen to lyrics, but Moonsorrow lyrics always seem to stay in my mind, so I listen to the damn lyrics as well as the music itself.

[@Bottna]

This bands early stuff is so great. Many hours with that music so long ago. 💪

[@SimonH109]

I remember the XU had tried to get Moonsorrow through a while back but it got vetoed for being a 30 mins song. This one is great but that one would've been even better just fyi, maybe you should consider it 😏😏😏

[@Necroticnarcosis]

Finally some finnish metal!!!!

[@phillipedesade2360]

Try to some more Primordial songs. "Death Of The Gods" or "God's Old Snake" for example. Primordial is greatest irish folk/black metal band with epic doom metal elements. Pure metal without any folk instruments. Hope you like it again. Cheers!

[@gal2659]

You should try Jäästä Syntynyt / Varjojen Virta. Don't worry about those 30 minutes, they'll fly like 5.

[@remoteb7183]

this was a really good song and Moonsorrow is alot more interesting than you think - but i also like your reaction,, very thoughtful and intersting

Easily the best band ive ever listened to

[@orphydianmusic9529]

They are like Dream Theater of pagan metal

[@DarthWinterMadness]

You can hear the bands that inspired Dream Theater with Moonsorrow's writing, that's really cool. But yeah, between 20min epics and odd time signatures, I agree with you. Cheers from France! 🍻

[@markkumakinen1897]

I do love your comments, because you try to feel the music every time. Not over analyse them. Just as like most of us music lovers. In this case when lyrics are translated... well some things you cant just translate properly. Its like reading Shakespeare in french😂 Sorry the comparison though. But generally thanks guys. For us finnish speakers and 42 years metal behind...this band is something special and listen to Suden tunti. GBY.

[@phoenicorn2034]

There are a couple of Moonsorrow lyric videos w/ translation on YT, I'd suggest reacting to one of those next time if you want to follow along with lyrics

[@roberttoompuu]

Moonsorrow is top grade, now you need to react to Nokturnal Mortum

[@brendo9672]

Channel would have a lot of issues doing that. I love Nokturnal Mortum but yeeesh lol

[@realtsarbomba]

Verity and Voice of Steel are one of the best albums ever recorded!

[@GenMVeers]

Good job pronouncing _haaska_ /ˈhɑːskɑ/ (audio at fi.forvo.com/search/haaska/ ), *Vin!* 👍 Both /ɑ/ vowels can be extended to /ɑː/ like you did, without confusing the listener when singing/screaming/growling, but if you do write or say _haaskaa_ /ˈhɑːskɑː/ in other context, you are then using the *partitive case* which denotes "partialness", "without result", or "without specific identity". It is also used in contexts where a subgroup is selected from a larger group, or with numbers. More at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partitive_case

[@myfaceismyshield5963]

The correct translation should be "you will yet end up in the swamp as well"... he says nothing about "returning"

[@melzasguitar2697]

Appreciate that

[@GenMVeers]

Yeah... Also, the 3rd verse starts and ends with lines using 3rd person singular (literal translation): _liian kauas katseensa hamuaa_ ("too far does his gaze try to reach") [...] _suohon päätyy vielä tämäkin_ ("into a swamp will he too end up")† †) The word *_tämä_* is literally the pronoun "this" but when one needs to refer back to a 3rd person singular used earlier in the same or an earlier sentence, one can use _tämä_ instead of _hän_ ("he/she"), unless the whole point is repetition: _Hän eli. Hän joi. Hän kuoli._ ("He lived. He drank. He died.") Also, _tämä_ helps to distinguish between different persons: _Hän vetosi kuninkaaseen, mutta _*_tämä_*_ ei muuttanut mieltään._ ("He pleaded to the king, but *they* did not change their mind.")

[@jotape5681]

Should react to Moonsorrow's related band Finntroll, which is much more eer.. trollish. And Bal-Sagoth, pretty original and somewhat the godfathers of this all this kind of metal. Cheers!

[@alanthompson2753]

Reminds me of Manegarm, blackened folk metal from *Sweden ( Norse mythology themed )
