It was originally supposed to be published in the blog Furia Asgardiana. When I started to write it, in July 2008, I didn't imagine I would find so much information; after a while I realised that it would be too much for the blog, so I decided to add some more stuff (prologue and appendixes, basically) and create a different blog for it. In December 2009 I finished the history 1995-2008; the rest isn't written yet, but the project is open and going through constant correction and update.
Most of the information is taken from news in their official site and dozens of interviews from the internet. I think I found about one hundred of them, most of them in English, but also many in Spanish and German, and some in French, Italian, Russian, Dutch and, of course, Finnish.
I'm just a Moonsorrow fan with too much free time. I listen to metal music since 2003 approximately, but in the beginning I disliked extreme metal and everything that had growls on it. In December 2006, my opinion changed after hearing Wintersun's track "Beyond the dark sun", and my mind opened a little bit. Some days later I eventually got the promo version of the new album by some Finnish band, which stirred up my curiosity because it was one hour long and had only two songs on it; I listened to it once and I fell in love. The rest, as it's usually said, is history.
Black Sabbath and all those British fellows for creating heavy metal.
Kimmo Kuusniemi and his Kimmo Kuusniemi Band (whose name later changed to Sarcofagus) for introducing heavy metal in Finland.
Henri, Ville, Marko, Mitja, Markus y Janne for creating the band, keeping it alive through constant renewal and continuing tours.
Without the people mentioned up to here, this biography wouldn't have been thought of by anybody.
I would also like to thank Bogdan and Óðinn for their help in finding the origins of "Matkan lopussa"; Gogsi, Velkaarn, the collaborators of DIME and the rest of people who helped me to have my little collection of Moonsorrow demos and bootlegs, as well as Eddie PLQ (Official Betatester), Tineo, Kaisa, Enlil, Falgarth, Abrahel, Dragonhead and the rest of fanatics I came across in the internet in some cases or real life in other cases, for showing me that there are still some people out there with a minimum of good taste :P
Special thanks to Kris Verwimp, who gave me permission to use his art in the banner, and to Ville Sorvali, who kindly offered himself to correct the whole biography.
Last but not least, I owe my deepest thanks to the many websites I collected all the information compiled here from:
Moonsorrow.com, in all its periods, including the time when it was moonsorrow.net and moonsorrow.cjb.net, all of them made by Stefan Lejon.
Hmas.org, which hosts the official forum.
Archive.org, thanks to which I could dive into the old versions I just mentioned.
Blabbermouth.net, tremendous archive.
Google Translator. I'm good at languages but not that much.

Friedhof Magazine
Paranoia Metal Show
Rafabasa
Hall Of Metal
Metal Team UK
Visions Underground
Lords Of Metal
Ratatosk Online
Revolver Mag
Blistering.com
Tartarean Desire
