Finnish folk/Viking metal band MOONSORROW will release their upcoming album Viides Luku – Hävitetty in North America on April 17th, 2007 via UNRULY SOUNDS/THE END RECORDS.

The album – 56 minutes of music comprised from two songs – continues to place them as one of the forerunners of the folk/Viking metal scene due in part to their extensive use of folklore and pagan elements in their music and imagery. The band recently completed a mini-tour in Canada and plan to return to tour this album in North America sometime this year.

The tracklisting for the album is:

MOONSORROW - Viides Luku – Hävitetty (US004)
April 17th, 2007
1. Jäästa Syntynyt / Varjojen Virta
2. Tuulen Ajettu Maa
