New to me ... just a brief listen so far but I like this
Earlier albums have a bit more of a folk influence, the later ones have a bit more black metal. Bloody good band, the long tracks are very well constructed - 30 minutes just flies by!
If you like Moonsorrow, a few other folk metal bands to listen out for are Finntroll, Ensiferum, Finsterforst, and Cruachan.
The new Explosions in the Sky record called "The Wilderness." At first listen, it sounds immense, might be the best since "Earth is not a Cold Dead Place" and "Those Who Tell the Truth..."
Love them. They're playing in Glasgow tonight with The Twilight Sad (their old mates). I had a ticket but couldn't make it over because my dog is still recovering from heart trouble. If I'd seen this earlier I'd have told you to go see them in London on Thursday (hope you did).
@purdis Joshua Tree is a really, really good album. I just try to ignore modern U2. They did so many good things in the 90s and early 90s. If you haven't already, I recommend checking out War. Think it's a really excellent record, often overlooked and underrated.

Unfortunately didn't get to see them but reviews say it was a great gig. Very good band.
Regarding U2, Boy and War are terrific albums. Early stuff is so much better, I preferred their live gigs then as well.
Composer of the Week on BBC Radio 3 - Ralph Vaughan Williams. Bliss.
Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis is the best piece of music ever bar none, just ahead of Tallis's Spem in Alium. My Dying Bride has to settle for third place with Symphonaire Infernus et Spera Empyrium.

1 - Oranssi Pazuzu - Värähtelijä - psychedelic black-metal insanity from Finland, some of the heaviest shit I've heard
2 - KING - We Are King - astonishingly ornate and vivid neo-soul with harmonies not of this earth
3 - The Drones - Feelin' Kinda Free - violent Australian indie screeching its way through all your darkest emotions
4 - Teen - Love Yes - beautiful and surprisingly weird 80s pop construct, but even better than that sounds
5 - Working For A Nuclear Free City - What Do People Do All Day? - delightful, subtle return from Manchester's finest

For those who like 60s style Jefferson aeroplane with a slight modern edge. Only slight though.
Not bad this lot..they are playing at Desertfest this year,but alas they clash with Elder so I won't get to see them.
Top quality as always.
And from the first Roxy album, Ladytron - memory jogged by fagadget above.
And now, If there is something. Brilliant.
Not got anything by this band for years but really enjoying this
In my opinion anyway!
Such an excellent album
