If anyone is wondering why this sounds so much like Wintersun, it's because Jari Mäenpää was still a member of Ensiferum then. The new stuff isn't bad but it lacks a lot of the charm of Ensiferum's early work.
Ensiferum post-Jari and Wintersun are both somehow their own projects that were birthed by a flawed band where everyone had different and differing ideas, yet the two albums they made are unprecedented. Neither band went the right way afterwards. Ensiferum with Jari could have been a legendary metal band up there with Metallica, Iron Maiden, Death, InFlames, Bodom. Nothing against Petri or Marcus or Wintersun, but it's just not... it.
All comments regarding any politic views or any other unrelated bullshit will be deleted. Really, just enjoy the fucking music people. And to anyone who has comments on the pictures in the video: I was 15 when I uploaded it and I just took random pictures from google images. Get over it.
Never has been, either. I mean, maybe yeah, on the basis of talent, they could have been compared but as a composer, Jari is much more knowledgeable and versatile. He's superior to Alexi(and Petri, though I'm a huge fan of him as well) on almost all terms.
"most of Finland was captured by Vikings" I think you should read again... Not to be mean, just saying. Vikings did not live here and they were also slayed by the finns, not only other way around. For example at Nokia, Jaarl Freygeir was killed in the battle and 170 of he's 200 ships were sinked. Finns were not bad warriors against Vikings neither. That heritage later continued in Swedish army Hakkapeliitta troops and against Red Army 1939-1945. These merits makes us proud non-viking warriors.

Scandinavian bands are really the best. Too bad I'm from a tiny African island. :( But I managed to get to see Opeth, Ensiferum and Amon Amarth live though, which is really awesome. I guess I can now die in peace. :)
I love Jari maenpaa and I respected valfar too.Both are great musicians.Valfar and Quorthon live forever in my heart.I listen to them almost everyday apart from falkenbach and nargaroth , tyr or hamradun or shylmagoghnar and others.And wintersun and old ensiferum are my favorites.Hail Jari Maenpaa !
I saw them live in Belgium, also with Korpiklaani at Graspop Metal Meeting 2015. I'm from the States, so it was an AMAZING once in a lifetime thing for me to see.
on 4:10 Meiju Enho... Viking Metal Queen...this has been a revisited song...i had downloaded this video from keepvid in multiple formats, at that time the resolutions i opted was 360p and that was way back around 2012. 'Tears' from the Viking Metal Queen is also a great hearsay
I literally listened this last night, after many, many cans of ale. Suddenly the old Ukko came down from the taivas and hit me in the back of my head with his Ukonvasara. I woke up, my face on the keyboard. Hungover or not, feel more finnish than ever!
Fist-clenching goodness! This is always the song that starts me off on a session of journeying into the wilderness, quaffing huge amounts of ale and rejoicing in the beauty of music!

I am Finnish Lutheran Christian and I agree. Many of my friends have become members of Orthodox Church of Finland and I happy for them finding their path.
I played this at 1.5x speed and my computer exploded. Not sure if because sheer insanity of the song or because my newly-grown beard was suddenly blocking the exhaust fan.
Ensiferum is a great band, and every greatband has it's own sound, but if you like this, you should try Korpiklaani, Moonsorrow, Tyr, Eluveitie, Amon Amarth, Summoning, Heidevolk, Manegarm, Thyrfing, Svartsot, Finntroll,... and perhaps Alestorm, Alestorm is not really pagan but pirate metal =D sounds great ^^
I am Latina but I remembered myself learning the correct pronunciation Cause i love this song now I still can remember every word without understanding a shit in finnish xd
this song still amazes me after so long. gonna see them this year at graspop if nothing happens badly i surely hope not.it will be the 3rd time but like u can hear its worth going evreytime u can! ensiferum you and many others keep me going! HAIL.... i mean LAI LAI HEI!

You are right, ensiferum is not black metal, but BM is just as complex and melodic as folk, even more so at times. They do use harmonies a lot. You were just listening to the wrong bands I guess.
Weirsoe Keiding Actually, there were Finnish Vikings as well. Finnish VIkings came after the Scandianvian Viking Age. Finnish Vikings looted and pillaged a lot in Sweden. Finnish VIkings burned down the swedish capital of Sgituna in 1187 and came back the next summer to do the same again.There are at least 30 forest hills scattered along the swedish east coast, these castles served as protection against the Finnish Vikings.
