Moonsorrow
Moonsorrow is a Finnish pagan metal band formed in Helsinki in 1995. Musically, the band incorporates elements of black metal and folk metal in their sound.

Their debut album, '' Suden Uni'', recorded in early 2000, was released in early 2001, along with '' Tä ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
