The Kivenkantaja episode is finally here, even if only the first half. For the first time we have a guest, no other than Leo Aragón, director of the documentary “Home of the Wind: A History of Moonsorrow”. He brought lots of quotations from the documentary interviews with the band members. In other, not-so-happy news, French Alexis has left the team and only appears in the intro song, but I can assure you that this isn’t the last you’ll hear of him!

The second half should come out later this month, so don’t worry, you won’t have time to forget the beginning before you hear the end! The whole thing would be around 5 hours so maybe it’s better this way, after all.

The paintings we mention during Raunioilla are:
Wilhelm Steuerwaldt - The Ruins of Heisterbach Abbey
Thomas Cole - The Course of Empire

Participants: Leo from England, Thomas from France, Sasan from the USA, Aleksi from Finland, Francesco from Italy, Mikkel from Denmark and Abel from Hungary.

Raunioilla cover mixed by Sasan, with contributions from himself, Alexis, Abel and two people from outside the team: a different Aleksi from Finland and Vica from Hungary. Other musical fragments by Francesco.
