V: Hävitetty ("Chapter V: Ravaged") is the fifth full-length
album by
Finnishpagan metal band
Moonsorrow. It was released on 10 January 2007 through
Spinefarm Records. As a joke by the band, the name "Homosika" (gay pig) was released as the working title for "Viides Luku - Hävitetty".
Hävitetty follows up on the sound established on Moonsorrow's previous studio album, Verisäkeet. The album consists of only two songs, each exceeding 25 minutes in length, and act as organic compositions with recurring musical themes which are gradually built upon up to
climaxes. While the
folk instruments and
choirs of prior albums are still present, Hävitetty has a more prominent
black metal influence; for example it features
tremolo picking and
blast beats. In The New York Times, the album was called "an engrossing hourlong album,"[3] and "engrossing, enveloping music."[4]
