Reviews komen al binnen, waaronder deze van Angry metal Guy die hem 5/5 geeft:
Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa is similar in scope and sound to both it’s forerunner and Verisäkeet. The songs are huge, sweeping arrangements with black metal screams and interspersed viking chants that pull one back to Bathory‘s viking metal era. Peppering all of these dirgey tracks is folk inspired keyboards, accordions and folk melodies and ideas that stick with the listener long after the record has quit playing. Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa also has 3 intercut tracks that sound like someone walking through the snow (a legacy of Ulver we will never escape) and, finally, dying (?) in it.
Moonsorrow has given us everything that listeners want: epic, ponderous, thoughtful, melodic, folky black metal in one big slab that you could never imagine listening to as separate tracks. This record deserves to be listened to in an atmosphere that matches its darkness, melancholy and genius. And as the first perfect record of the year, it is incumbent upon you to purchase it.
