Artist: ENSIFERUM
Label: Spinefarm / Drakkar

Release Year: 2009
Artist Origin: FIN
Style: grandiose epic folk pagan metal

fourth full-length by one of the leading Suomi bands in epic grandiose viking/pagan metal genre is very majestic, epic, very Scandinavian, quite aggressive and somewhat folky with well written heathen-themed lyrics; some faster power and even thrash metal hints also find their place in several songs, proving Ensiferum to take things seriously when it comes to heavy fundament, while Petri Londroos shows his best with variable vocal delivery; cover artwork is provided by genius Kristian 'Necrolord' Wahlin, limited vinyl edition comes with pro-printed insert and lyrics
