I don't get people who complain about clean vocals. Ensiferum has pretty much always mixed clean vocals with screaming. It's what makes them so great imo.
They still sound as usual 😀. I like the clean vocals, too. And the melodies that Pekka brings in this album. Just love them!
yes but theres 2 reasons: 1º some people like me, prefer Markus as clean vocals. 2º Probably this album have the most % of clean vocals in the history of Ensiferum.
@@r10obruxo Yea. New guy isn't bad at all. I prefer Markus. I'm used to him.
@@scarsunseen24 I saw them live more than once and they just neeeeeeeded a guy who can sing proper clean vocals.
I'm on the fence about this. Generally speaking I don't like cleans in my metal. That being said there are plenty of metal acts that use cleans that I do genuinely enjoy. However if I'm listening to a band specifically for the dirties, I'll be rightly pissed if they use cleans. Basically I want my Manowar to be Manowar and my Carach Angren to be Carach Angren. I don't like it when bands switch up for more attention. I understand money but damn, it just feels like they're selling out at that point(cuz they are)
Ich liebe dieses Album. Alle Songs sind toll.
Why is nobody ever commenting about their intro instrumentals? All of their intros from every album have been amazing and underrated!
This one makes me think about summoning 🤷♂️👍
absolute agree !!!!!!!!! \m/
Just a few minutes ago my colleague showed me one track of Ensiferum... I liked it, randomly jumped here, heard the Intro and I was hooked and blown away.
number 1 reason why i fell in love with ensiferum is their folk melodic metal. absolutely genius and might i say i haven't found any other band that does it like them. Theres wintersun and korpiklaani, but none of them manages to balance metal and folk so perfectly. Songs like heathen throne, vainamoinen part 3, longest journey are absolute killers.
I can't stop reading "The defence of the Shampoo"
Same here 😁😄😂
If i ever see them live I'll scream: The defence of the Shampoo!!
A metalhead's EDC
Please find out the meaning of Sampo, so you can get past the hair cleansing idea...
Now that I've read this, can't stop doing the same.
I listened to them for the first time when I was 15 yo and I still love them now that I'm 30 🤘🖤
And now that you're 30 hopefully you can stop saying "yo."
@@danmcleod1938 it is an abbreviation. Nothing wrong with using one, although i understand where you're coming from.
@@captainp.2721 oh haha I must have imagined a comma between the number and the term in question. I get it now.
@@captainp.2721 word up, yo!
I'm in my 50s and they are one of my favorite bands.
Cold Northland is the return of old Ensiferum of which we've been awaiting for over 10 years.
I think one of the things I love most about Ensiferum is how much it sounds like they're just having so much fun in every album. They really enjoy what they're doing, and it shows!
Cold Northland one of the best songs from ensiferum without doubt.
Run from the Crushing Tide - the most impressed thing on this album, speed, aggressive, very melodic
Now this is the Ensiferum I fell in love with when I was younger. This album is like a mix of Iron and From Afar, my two favourite albums from them :D
almost said the same cheer
And their self-titled debut.
@@HeroSword_P Yeah! I think it's the new clean vocalist who brings that.
At least that's how I feel about it.
It brings back some of what Jari did with the band on their first two albums (which are just amazing pieces of music).
Cheers from France! 🍻
Agreed 100%
@@DarthWinterMadness finally ran out of Jari unfinished work so now they have to try out new things....now its blind guardian with more yelling with a Norse mythology backing. Oh the glory days of Victory Songs and From Afar!
It's 2020. We are listening to free, legal music on UA-cam. Man I still can't believe it.
Yeah, that's awesome. Although I have to ask: where have you been the last 5 to 10 years? Record labels and bands have uploaded new releases in full for years now.
@@ThorsShadow I don't follow any major recording labels, so I had no idea.
this is like a promo to hget the actual Record.. which we all should do.
be sure to go watch them live! I want to and spend all I can on merch
for sirens is sick, the blending between growl and clear vox is awesome!!!!
I never gave a chance to this guys because I usually don't like metal with harsh vocals. This album is the proof that maybe I like harshed music. Amazing album. Thank you Ensiferum.
same , startt liking them because of the instrumental and the chorus in victory song , and then start apreciating the vocal , wich usially i prefer high pitched and cleaner
I've seen this. Classic British Heavy Metal, Power Metal, most Folk Metal, Symphonic Metal, Doom Metal, and Progressive Metal use pretty clean vocals for the most part. The Middle range vocal style (raspy yelling, or harsh ish) is probably Groove, Thrash, Metalcore, etc. And then you have extreme metal (death metal, black metal, etc). But usually if you like one metal genre you end up liking all of them with time. A way to get into harsh vocals are to listen to bands that use harsh and clean vocals or just middle-range raspy thrash vocals.
@@mr.echo24 that's 100% right. I started with Power Metal and Traditional Metal and now I'm also listening to Death Metal. Ensiferum and Epica (mostly) helped me get into growled music 😁
@@mr.echo24 really really good advice.
I remember my first introduction to death metal was by cannibal corpses from a buddy of mine and I couldn't stop laughing at the vocals, thinking it was a part of the joke. He didn't think it was too funny
@@dugonman8360 LOL. Humour is a bridge for sure too!
Ive been rocking 50plus years, but never came across this great band. The magical sound of iron and a vibe that gives you pimples!
Then, listen to their album Iron, different lead singer/guitar.
The first two are my fave because of that!
Cheers from France! 🍻
@@DarthWinterMadness yea thanks for the imfo kevin. I will def get in2 more of their music. Cant belive i never discovered them earlier.
@@jamescourt4703 You're welcome mate!
I'm halfway through the album just now (yeah, when I commented I only launched the video to save it and I saw your comment), and I like this new clean singer.
It brings back some aspects that makes me love their first two albums way more than the rest of their works.
Their previous guitarist/singer was amazing and I still love his work.
Now he's in his passion project, Wintersun. And if you like Ensiferum, and you like their early work, you might like Wintersun too.
"A vibe that gives you pimples" is the oddest compliment I have ever heard
@@wibbles7263 pimples yea! When you hear good rock it gets the heart beating and the hairs on your arms stand on end!! I roadie,d for many years in the early 80s and boy, did I get good vibes!! Rock till u drop man, it will never die!!
This album gives me 'Victory songs' vibes BIG TIME
10/10. Can't stop listening to this
x2 cada track es bestial, ya ordene el LP
absolute my best moment of 2020 !!!! \m/ totally unexpected ....... a legendary jewel !!!!! \m/
never ! 🤘
This is perfect, was listening to them from 2005, still kicks ass, Cold Northland best song ever
The new keyboard-clear vocalist is a nice touch, and the album sounds inspired. It seems at same high level of victory songs and from afar. Well done guys!
@August Canaille i think is a matter of taste. But, if you know ensiferum from the beggining, they was always, 80% "serious and epic" and 20% most, happy and crazy. At the last albums I think (at least a my oppinion) that they lost their touch. This new album sound like the stonger past.
Oh thank gods, I'm not going crazy it really is someone new- It threw me off so hard at first like, 'who the fuck is this???? I don't remember this voice being in the line up??' They're good though XD
It took me a while to finally listen to this album. It's amazing. I think it's their best work since Victory Songs, and the best-produced and mixed ever. The flexibility allowed by Pekka adds a lot, and some songs like Run from the Crushing Tide or One with the Sea reach this pathos that is utter epicness.
Also, finally a metal band after the 2010s who realised you don't have to wreck everybody's balls with 1h+ album. Good old intense 40-50 minutes with no fillers are perfection.
Midsummer Magic is just pure perfection xD
Yess!!!
I couldn't agree more, it's amazing
I love it too! Sounds a little like wild western music somehow
Andromeda is my favourit
Being my favorite albums from Ensiferum the self-titled album, Iron and Victory Songs, this album really stands up with its sound and configuration, i really like the clean vocals, the guitar melodies, its been a long time since i didn't felt so interested in an Ensiferum album, i love it!
I think these guys have hit a new prime. This album is phenomenal!
YOUR FACE IS A NEW PRIME! lol
But also, it's kinda hard to beat their earlier stuff, but this one comes pretty close if not even.
Also, ensiferum always has the most badass album covers. If you showed me this picture without text before this came out, I would have guessed it was ensiferum.
@@SPITZtheGOD Because they have the same shield on every Cover :D
No way.
@@Arkenas99 ***Mind blown***
I listen Ensiferum long time and in my opinion is the best album since From Affar. Run from the Crushing Tide remids me good oldschool Ensiferum, but whole album is really good.
Feels like they're going back to their roots, I'm very happy with this.
That's kind of what I'm getting with this new singer.
It's like they want to get back some of the vibes Jari brought on back in the day.
Their first two albums are my favorites, and it's definitely because of Jari. This guy is awesome and an amazing musician. He made Ensiferum at the time.
Cheers from France! 🍻
Definitely. As a fan since their first album in 2001 I agree.
Moving to pirate metal is int folk nordic viking metal which is their roots.
Not yet. This album is boring but its better than the garbage they have been releasing lately.
First impressions: Well crafted album. Some moments / melodies are really good, like the chorus of The Defence of the Sampo, the main riff of Andromeda, The ending of One with the sea, etc.
But the absolute winner to me right now is Cold Northland. What an epic journey.
And yet, despite how epic it is, I still prefer One with the Sea, Andromeda and Run From the Crushing Tide.
These three songs are the shit for me !
I honestly think this is their best album in the last three albums easy..Its more old school
I think it's the first decent/good album since From Afar. There have been a few good songs but the latest albums haven't been that good. It's a bit of a return to form, and I like that there's less harsh vocals (I'm growing tired of them).
@@HlewagastizHoltijaz I'd say One Man Army was pretty stellar, one of my top 3 albums from them.
Never even heard of this YING-YANG band.
Their opening sounds like country music, so I'll pass!!
No thanks!!
Gotta love that 790's vibe for sure
I like it more than their previous album, but One Man Army I have liked the most.
For Sirens is legit one of the catchiest songs I’ve ever heard. Incredible job guys! Welcome Pekka!
The hook combined with that riff is always getting me!
Midsummer magic is awesome! It seems like nobody noticed.
Why did you find it awesome?
@@michaelwalker8250 it is vety comfy, uplifting and nostalgic, to a Finn at least
I like this song. 5K views from 25K are mine :)
midsummer is very folk remind me how i falled in love with ensiferum turisas ect ect! 20year ago and remind wher i live suck cuz no one like my music!
@@basedfinnmaid3531 so i need to move my fam to finn i gess!
Each ensiferum album sounds different, but all of them sounds so good, and I think that´s the magic from this band, they sound fresh but without loosing their roots, amazing job!
I totally agree, I don't like their last two albums as much as their first ones, but they all feel very different and new and they all have their own theme, that's part of why Ensiferum is my favorite band !
Different^^? Really...I dunno know, they ll kinda sound the same to me. This one's kinda different because of the clean melody, but the song structures, the beats and also the guitar sounds are pretty much the same^^
@@senkrigar5474 One Man Army is fantastic, one of my favorites of theirs!
@@gabe_o_verse in fact, there are many elements that makes each album sounds different, por example if you listen two paths, there are many power metal elements, if you hear the choruses from some songs or some guitar riffs, now in this album you will find the high clean voice from the new member, and from afar doesn´t has those elements so marked,songs like twilight tavern or stone cold metal their folk metal roots are notorius
@@laporte1625 Yeah, think the same
I'm really enjoying this album. The songs are great and I like the clean vocals and Petri's dynamics.
These two singer playbook has improved Ensiferums game a lot! 👌
Listened twice now. This is incredible! Very possibly their best. GREAT energy and songwriting. Can't often say that so deep into a band's career.
I came here to judge, now I am impressed!
Thanks for being great for the last 20 years Ensiferum. At least one band I like isn't shitting on its own music, looking at you In Flames.
Truth
but ensiferum did that before inflames LOL
people change, thus their music changes. in the case of In Flames, they lost a lot of fans, and gained many others. everything changes.
i was absolutely devastated when i heard Soundtrack for the first time, but it is what it is. there is so much good music out there anyway
Metal for finland is the best of the best.
Such a brilliant record for anyone loving melodic death or folk metal. The atmosphere, instrumental work, perfect vocals.. Will keep me away from the summer heat \m/ Thank you Ensiferum
Ensiferum Never Disappoints!
🤘
Wieder einmal ein sehr gelungenes Album. Und der Sound von Ensiferum ist auch hier wieder voll zum Ausdruck gebracht worden. Bitte noch ganz viel Musik produzieren. Ihr seit wie immer der Hammer 🥳🥳
Bought it just after the first listen ! So great ! Thank you guys to make us feel these powerful emotions !
Clean vocalist is really mastering its thing.
not really
@@novalechuck7498 Indeed. Those power metal vocals are terrible.
@@TheStenius Have you listened to their first two albums? They're full of "Power Metal Vocals", and to me that's part of what makes these albums better than the rest of their catalogue.
Cheers from France! 🍻
Incredible, I discovered Ensiferum a few years ago, and this album instantly became one of my favourites !! Great job brothers
Welcome Back Ensi, missed you so much
this album just makes you feel great...
I see they have learned from their past experiences, this is fantastic, keep it coming! Let the next album be just as good as this one.
immer wieder grandios
Great!! I am a big fan of Ensiferum, have seen them live, too.
My favorite Album is "Iron", but THIS is also totally amazing!!
Love the start of Cold Northland, sooo epic
The whole song is,I'm totally in love with this one ❤
Awesome...
The whole thing is a freakin masterpiece. But. when 4:59 hits and the vocals come in, hnng it's so perfect. You guys are my biggest inspiration and after playing so many genres of music, I finally have committed my first album to be EPIC Viking Metal!!
TREACHEROUS GODS is the best song from Ensiferum imo. ( And Markus never needed to be a " singer " to make EPIC clean vocals )
Agree!
Dude, the one who do the clean vocals is Pekka, not Markus...in this album i mean
@@BodomVe I know, this was a criticism, cause i prefer Markus singing than Pekka
That's one of my favourites, such a good song!
dude in "Ensiferum" (TRACHEROUS GODS) and "Iron" the only singer for harsh and clean vocals was Jari Maenpaa, not Markus
The Defence of the Shampoo...WoW
shampoo is betta!
Sampo, not shampoo....
Album of the year ! ♥️⚔️🤘
absolute !!!! ... my best moment of 2020 !!!! \m/
Now that's a great Ensiferum album. It's been a while!
For me this album is quite special , I played a D&D campaign defending the Sampo by following the ancient leads of the Vainamoinen !I will sing full of pride the referred songs, cause I WAS THERE YEEEEEAH
Definitely digging Rum Women Victory, Run from the Crushing Tide, and For Sirens.
For Sirens is my fav. Love that leading guitar riff. Nice balance between clean and heavy vocals
This album is a work of art! Every song is wonderful. Pekka really brought more power and a wider range of sounds and possibilities to the band. Amazing work guys! Enjoying the album every day, and the lovely release gig as well! Had a blast with it.
Nice album ! Currently playing it for the third time in the car, super refreshing 👌For Sirens is our favorite
Lost my shit when I heard that blackish riff and blastbeat in Cold Northland! Great album!
39:09 is my favorite part of this album.
Same haha Cold Northland is such a good song
Me too. It' easily one of the epicest song they've ever written.
Spoiler alert come on!
Just kidding, I shouldn't have been reading comments before finishing the album. It's my fault...
Cheers from France! 🍻
*Edit* I agree, great album. Not enough blast beats imo, but still a good record.
Now imma listen to the first two Vainamoinen parts! Old Man is the first Ensiferum song I learned on the guitar.
Best album of 2020! 🤘
Amazing album!! All the tracks are perfect! Respect!!
This album is legendary
i agree \m/
Ensiferum😍🤘👏, Greetings From Bolivia🇧🇴.
Ensiferum and Finntroll released their new albums and noone told me ??!! What a nice week full of surprise.
this has easily become my favorite Ensiferum album
I like this. I will be there when gigs starts. Sounds great, love clear voices.
A good album again. Finally!
Fantastic, Hail from England!!!!!
It's been a while. In 2006 was the first time I'd finally see one of my favourite metal bands live. The bouncer that the door in Dublin, Ireland asked if I was even into this type of music because I was wearing a blue buttoned up shirt (coming from work), but another one pointed out that I was also wearing an Ensiferum t-shirt on top of it. So I got in. One of the most memorable experiences of my life. I used to listen to Enska ALL THE TIME. Not sure what happened during the past decade but I didn't listen to it anymore. Now I'm back, I have tears in my eyes how good this is.
Instantly forgot about the last 3 albums! A brilliant return to old. By far and away the best Ensiferum material since From Afar.
No love for One Man Army? I don't get it, it's one of their best imo, by far! In my top 3!
@@laporte1625 Just doesn't have the trademark Ensiferum melody. The production was shocking too.
@@TruueMetal Well, I obviously disagee, since to me it contained many of their best songs and melodies, but to each his own!
@@laporte1625 their last album I enjoyed was Victory Songs. Seeing the last song tie back to Old Man and Little Dreamer made me emotional, good to see they came back to a similar sound
Brilliant?
Acabo de ser tomado por sorpresa por este álbum y en específico por esta banda. No soy fan del folk metal ni cosas por el estilo, pero esta mezcla de Folk, Thrash, algunos toques Black y esa sensación de "epicness" a lo largo de las piezas simplemente me encantó! Seguiré escuchando sus demás álbumes! Gran banda!
¿Thrash y black? Ensiferum toma como base el melodic death y el power. Nada de black/thrash aquí.
Amazing album! The new vocals really fill out the band's sound perfectly. Favorite track: Run from the Crushing Tide!
All the album is great ! Very well done guys!
Their intros have huge meanings in every album than any other bands.
Nicely done. One with the the sea and Cold Northland are best, especially for strong refrain part.
Diese Musik ist echt entwaffnend.
Amazing album, I'm so happy Ensiferum is epic again! It reminds me the old albums!
It's simply gold. Thank you so much guys
I just realized that Cold Northerlands is Väinämöinen Part III(Part I and II are on their very first album!). Wow that is so epic.
Northerlands? lol
Im so hyped about this
@@umosay seems like somone misses a band...

Nice.... perfect for this time of year.
Just got home from working out by lake Ontario. Thank you for sharing this one.
Just listened to this and cleaned my living room 😁😂😀
How dirty was your living room?
It`s the best album from Ensiferum ever!!!
About time they brought out an album that didn't suck. Best album they've done since 'From Afar'.
Ensiferum entrou para o posto de maiores bandas já criadas nesse mundo,,,
Such a good album. I buy it every day!
Amazing album. Greetings from Brazil 🤘
Nice, remind me the sound of the end of the nineties/early two thousand...i been very specific as was a very particular moment for metal. Good blend of aggression and epicity
