Well, if you ask me everything after Iron sucked. Well okay, Dragonheads was something worth listening but that's about it. I do like the tracknames though, I just hope they won't fall in a repeating pattern and keep making the same boring shit over and over again. Let's hope they experiment some..

Written by Asitis on 02.07.2009 at 15:46 I wouldn't say it all sucked, but I agree that the quality and originality started to tail off a bit.

Yeah, I'm gonna buy this. It seems they were going slightly more louder and shoutier than the jari era (and dare i say a tiny bit more Brutal lol) I hope it carries on.

I actually like Victory songs a lot. Death Bringer from the sky, Victory Song... those were pretty epic. That's just me though. Drinking my ass of to One more magic potion (screaming it at the top of our lungs) is always a blast. I'm very excited for this album. Any word on a new keyboardist?

Good news indeed. I really hope that it will be something in the vein of "Ensiferum" or "Iron". "Victory Songs" seemed way to cheerful for me. But as Jari left them, I'll doubt that will happen. ;-/

Written by Elio on 02.07.2009 at 19:18 My crystal ball also predicts it will win the Folk Metal awards 2009, undeservedly. However there is a small hope that the new Arkona could snag the prize away. I don't have to high hopes of "From Afar" it will be a fun listen, but far from great - just like the rest of there albums.

Yey, at last someone has done it... A metal-cover on Nordman's "Vandraren", ever since I first heard the song I've wanted a metal-cover on it. Otherwise "Twilight Tavern" sounds like a drinking song, "Heathen Throne" with sequel sounds like something epic and "Tumman Virran Taa" will be cool, I like folkish metal with Finnish lyrics...

Written by Kasper on 02.07.2009 at 20:52 ...one more magic potion for you! That album was really great. I'm also waiting this album but I'm not expecting anything, I don't want to be disappointed in the end.

Written by Ragana on 04.07.2009 at 04:18 Well, I actually like some of the songs. And overall it's not a bad album, but Iron and Ensiferum is far better albums imo. But ofcourse, Jari left, and that did have a major impact on their sound. So, I shouldn't be expecting anything in that way. Only time will tell what we'll have
