Moonsorrow is a Finnish Viking metal band.

Formed in 1995 by two cousins (the Sorvalis), Moonsorrow entered the metal scene with no less than three releases, but the album Suden Uni was recorded in the early 2000 and the Tämä Ikuinen Talvi (This Everlasting Winter) was a CD re-release of a 1999 demo. Suden Uni (A Wolf's Dream) was acclaimed by the fans and the reviews with its epic combination of Finnish paganism and folk elements. After recruiting Mitja Harvilahti and Lord Eurén, Moonsorrow started their first shows, releasing Voimasta Ja Kunniasta (Of Strength and Honour) in the late 2001. But the real takeoff for the band was the 2003 release Kivenkantaja (Stonebearer). In 2005 the band released their fifth album, Verisäkeet (Blood Verses).
