Moonsorrow Jumalten Aika

After signing a worldwide deal with us, Finnish crusaders of heathen metal, Moonsorrow are set to release a new album entitled "Jumalten Aika” (means, "The Age of Gods") on April 1st, 2016.

The band comments: "Moonsorrow welcomes you to The Age Of Gods! Jumalten Aika is a journey to the deepest North and into the darkest mythologies created in the depths of human soul. Narrated by the voice and sound of Moonsorrow!"

"There are a lot more folk music influences present in "Jumalten Aika" than earlier", comments Henri Sorvali (Guitars, keyboards & vocals). "This time around, they are more deeply integrated to the overall sound. "Jumalten Aika" is like a circling wolf biting the hardest when you would never expect it. The music is unchained aggression, deep mysteries of the North and thundering witchcraft combined together in a molten forge of the Gods and reminds us all of something that never left our blood and soil."
