  • Ep. 11: Hävitetty, part 2 (Tuleen ajettu maa) - Moonsorrow Talks: The Epic Heathen Podcast

    Ep. 11: Hävitetty, part 2 (Tuleen ajettu maa) - Moonsorrow Talks: The Epic Heathen Podcast
    Sep 29 2024
    Today we're discussing "Tuleen ajettu maa", the second half of Hävitetty, an apocalyptic album which we couldn't agree if it's completely nihilistic or leaves space for hope, but Sasan described it best with the sentence: "it's like caressing the dog's head while you're putting it to sleep". You will discover lots of small details you never noticed before (it happened to all of us during the conversation) and you will find out which part of the song the guest is ACTUALLY on! Besides our silky voices, you will hear some little snippets from interviews with the band, as a teaser for the upcoming book Home of the Waves: Conversations with Moonsorrow. I can't believe that it's been 18 years since this album came out and I discovered Moonsorrow. I'm an adult fan now. Participants: Francesco from Italy, Abel from Hungary, Mikkel from Denmark, Sasan from the US, Thomas from France. Fragments from other songs: Jean Michel Jarre - Oxigène 1 Deep Purple - Highway Star Uriah Heep - Easy Living Marduk - Baptism by Fire Atlantean Kodex - The Innermost Light Tuleen ajettu maa live in Annecy, France, April 2007 All our links are here: https://linktr.ee/moonsorrow.podcast

    Ep. 10: Hävitetty, part 1 (Varjojen virta) - Moonsorrow Talks: The Epic Heathen Podcast
    May 26 2024
    I'm sure at this point nobody is surprised by the title and the length of this episode. That's right, we talk only about the first of the two songs of Hävitetty, and yes, for over two hours. Although, in fairness, we also spent a sizable amount of time discussing the album as a whole, because it turned out to be very special for all of us... except for one! Did you know there's a book about Moonsorrow coming up? You'll hear some information about it in the first few minutes of this episode. Participants: Sasan from the USA, Aleksi from Finland, Thomas from France, Mikkel from Denmark, Francesco from Italy, Abel from Hungary.

  • Ep. 9: Verisäkeet, part 2 - Moonsorrow Talks: The Epic Heathen Podcast

    Ep. 9: Verisäkeet, part 2 - Moonsorrow Talks: The Epic Heathen Podcast
    Feb 22 2024
    The second part of Verisäkeet is finally out! Here we analyze Pimeä, Jotunheim and Kaiku in more detail than anyone ever needed. You'll find out which song disappointed Mitja — in his own words, you'll hear very different versions of Kaiku and Pimeä and you'll discover the relation between Pimeä and grunge! We continued learning about Finnish folk instruments that are present in the album (in the previous episode we identified the jouhikko, now is the turn of the kantele) and realized that, even though Verisäkeet is less shiny than Kivenkantaja, it's not as raw as it may seem and there is no shortage of layers. If you want even more detail about Verisäkeet, we really recommend you to check out the Henri interview we released some episodes back, as he spoke in great detail about the songwriting for this album. We didn't reference that interview in this episode because we actually recorded it earlier than the interview — yeah, quite long ago, but hey, this podcast is TIMELESS! Guest star: Shiva from the US. Team members: Sasan from the US, Thomas from France, Mikkel from Denmark, Francesco from Italy, Aleksi from Finland, Grilo do Demo from Hungary.
