New album 'Winter Storm' is out October 18th!
The Finnish folk-metal melodeath sensation has maintained a prolific release schedule since their first demo in 1997, gradually increasing in stature until eighth album Thalassic crowned their ascent in 2020. The nautical opus went on to top Finland's album chart, reaching #3 in Germany, and top ten in Switzerland, Canada, and the United States. Eventually, ENSIFERUM would take Thalassic on two massive world tours and to festivals like Wacken, Hellfest, Summer Breeze, and Ragnarök, but the global Covid pandemic ensured that the four-year wait for Winter Storm would be the longest in the band's near-thirty-year history.
Much of the new material emerged in the lockdown era, when ENSIFERUM's founding guitarist Markus Toivonen set himself the challenge of finding new ways to make music -- eventually composing every song except the rousing, anthemic “Fatherland,” written by bassist Sami Hinkka. The addition of singer/organist Pekka Montin's crystal-clear melodic high notes provided a tremendous boost on Thalassic. But on Winter Storm -- a fantasy concept narrative penned by Hinkka -- Montin's super-strong voice finds its optimal place in ENSIFERUM's sound. Bringing to life such grandiose, heroic material, the singer emerges as one of the greatest vocal discoveries of the decade.
"The way I see it, this album is more like a 'musical' than a traditional album," says Hinkka. "The lyrics of Winter Storm are based on part of my unpublished fantasy book. One day it will be out… I don’t want to reveal the plot or details too much but ‘Winter Storm Vigilantes’ and ‘Fatherland’ tell of two factions in this long tale. The Vigilantes have gained knowledge to utilize certain rare elements, and even though there was already magic in this world, with this new epiphany they have reached a completely new level. This element seems to interact with living things in a way that even the wisest men don’t completely understand. And through generations of trial and error, they have refined a skill to expose their horses to the element and managed to break the law of gravity, making their steeds fly. But they became ruthless and greedy on their quest to gain more of this element. A small tribe in the north keep on fighting for their land, which the Vigilantes plan to take over. These North Folks will literally fight until the last man…
“Other characters include a Vigilante castaway, the last shaman of the North Folk, and a mysterious widow. The album ends with a great battle against the Vigilantes and the unholy alliance of the castaway and the North Folk shaman, who has transcended into a spirit wolf. Who will prevail? Will this be the final battle of the book? Time will tell… I understand that all this sounds very far out -- well, it is a fantasy book -- but believe me, it will be truly an epic story!"

Jahhh Endlich wieder gute Musik!!! Lieben gruß aus Österreich - - - Finally good music again!! Greetings from Austria
Here is the proof that you can make and produce overwhelming music in quite short period of time. Not like the Time II and other's Jari's albums which are also super perfect but takes too much time to create unfortunately. Ensiferum makes music album one after another and it's always sounds godly \m/
FATHERLAND IS MY FAVE SO FAR WOW WHAT A SONG
Outstandingly EPIC 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I love this!! Congrats, guys!!
Great! Great! Great! Goose bumps!🤘🤘🤘
Thank You Ensiferum 🙏 You are truly the masters of metal! 🤘🔥🤘

@ArlekinVergeltungswaffe I need to listen to the album a couple more times to decide, I think, the whole thing is so good. Fatherland hit me immediately though. What about you?

"Nem ouvi, mas já amei." (translate from brazilian portuguese)
Fuck yeah!
Great!
🎉🎉🤟🏼🤟🏼🔥🔥 10/10 🙏✨
love u guys!
Охренеть!!! Круто!!!
I hate it because it's far (faaar) too short!
I think they are going for more listens... I hear you, though...
But it has no fillers (even instrumentals are short enough to keep in the playlist). Plus 2 more (bonus) tracks are on the way
Great album but disappointed that 2 songs are very short. Would of been great to see one long song like from afar album or a longer instrumental viking melody. Still fricken good though. Always takes me a few listens to truly appreciate some of the songs, just like the last album, adjustments are made take a while to resemble with my ears and brain.
The shorter instrumentals the better. But of course there should be more songs. Hopefully Lambada will make up for it a bit.
@@blindg7092 I can confirm that their Lambada cover is an absolute riot similarly to Bamboleo. Can't wait for an official release of that!
Бомба!!! 🧨💥👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Круть крутейшая🤘
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Where is CHORANDO SE FOI song Kaoma' s cover ??
Happy release guys ! but this one will not be my fave album. I only like 2 two songs and i‘m a fan since 16 years :/
❤❤❤
🤘🏿👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻🤘🏿 świetny doskonały zajebisty super
Reminds me of Helloween
lol. Helloween must be the only metal band you have heard
ngl, the last 3 albums sound all the same to me
Good ❤

Seriously: I'll throw money towards making another tour/event happen!North America has so many die hard fans who cry at night without a Paganfest/ major pagan viking folky tour package in years.
Idea: what if we all rally together in hopes of a pagan metal cruise? Or crowd fund for a Paganfest North America? Or set up North America fan travel packs for a pre existing fest featuring folk and pagan?
Wacken, Summerbreeze etc haven't had a good lineup in years imo.
A 2005-12 ish bill for all folk legends to play is a GUARANTEED money maker
Talking to a manager for paganfest NA a few times over the years he says; tour hasn't been profitable in years"
But thats a 1 night event with maybe 4-5 of the 20-30 bands we all want to see...
if paganfest was a 2 or 3 day event in each city (or on festival grounds) you'd see 100x fan draws
tbh a bit tired seeing either Eluveitie, Ensiferum, alestorm or korpiklaani - and pretty much guaranteed no others.
Those Ensiferum + Korp tours are slowly losing attendances
Day1: ensi, korp, arkona, tyr?
Day 2: alestorm, finntroll, finsterforst, furor gallico (or vogelfrey, grailknights, Krampus , Troldhaugen.. so many true gems you could throw on and have EVERY paganfest fan ever make a appearance)
Fucking rocking 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘⚔️⚔️🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️
EU festivals next year like 👀👀👀
🤘🏼😎🇲🇽
Ojala vuelvan a monterrey pronto
@@MrForthepunx ojalá que sí, a ver si contemplan algunas fechas por la República Mexicana en su gira del 2025 🤘🏼
Not bad at all, but nothing special either. Kinda all sounds the same. Perhaps it’s just me not being in the mood.
🤘⚔️❤️
🤘 ❤
