It looks like Ensiferum, it sounds like Ensiferum, but is this actually Ensiferum? Read more ›› |

I, like most Ensiferum fans, was rather disappointed upon initially hearing the band's 2012 effort Unsung Heroes. The album's pacing was much slower than the much-heralded From Afar, the atmosphere rather mellow in comparison to their other works and the sense of composition more subdued and subtle. As most metal listeners know, the first few listens of an album can be deceiving; I mean, after all, how many of us truly wrapped our heads around Opeth's Blackwater Park the first time we listened to it? I don't mind spending some time with the albums I have at my disposal and giving Unsung Heroes a number of listens has proven to be one of the greatest rewards this habit has given me as of late. Unsung Heroes is, for all intents and purposes, quite unsung (no pun intended, of course). Read more ›› |

Lol, recheck what the band's name means.

I'm so looking forward to this. I have no clue how it will sound this time though, Sami mention in a interview that there will be some orchestration like they had on "From Afar".

Not the best sound but a full new song live from some third world country (Poland). Song is called Burning Leaves. Video can be viewed below. Personally I really like this song. Can't wait to hear the album.

High expectations considering I thought "From Afar" was their best effort to date.

I got this from the label today and have listened to it almost twice. I am not impressed at all.

Written by Baz Anderson on 29.06.2012 at 03:06 Just talked with a journalist, had she wasn't impressed either. It sounded like this might be their worst album.. Let's hope I won't be dissapointed. :/

Well I'm telling you now, it is disappointing. It has no pace, nothing catchy... at times I wondered if it was the same band. Still, I will give it plenty more listens and give a fair review when the time is right.

Below: Making of the new video for the song "In My Sword I Trust". They play a loop of the actual song, so you get a nice chunk from it. Good or bad? I think it sounds awesome.

Written by |pyro| on 24.08.2012 at 12:05 Nothing weird about the song itself, it's just the singing performance isn't very good. Unless you mean the 17-minute closer which is pure prog so far, I'm 7 minutes in

I had expected more. Though this is my first listen; it probably takes more time to actually like this album.
