Reminds me very much of their debut's cover.

Like in every Ensiferum release, we have water, the same old guy and the same suomi shield, but this time there is an aurora borealis ha ha... Musically, the awesomeness is absolutely guaranteed!

Love the red tone! I have the last two covers as flags hanging on my wall and this is going to go there as well.

Their best cover yet, even if it is similar to the first.

Isn't it exactly the same color as chaos flames form Warhammer?

Love Wåhlin's work... I swear every other metal band on earth has had a cover done by him.

So the presence of an old bearded man makes it a catholic propaganda poster?

I really see nothing religious on it...

Well that's very.. Ensiferum-ish. Väinämöinen and other references to Kalevala and a Finnish flag. The colour theme is a bit weird though.

Absolutely mazing album cover, I love the colour!
But I guess this will be the best part of the album :-/

You can clearly see the artist improve when you compare Ensiferum's oldest covers to the newest. Cool.
I think I like this cover the best too. For some reason red seems a bit out of place yet makes the cover awesome? whatever :p

"The Quaker"
I love Iron's and From Afar's cover, but this one is seems to be a bit better, although it reminds me more of computer-painted stuff...

I like the album artwork and use of red. I interpreted the "pink" tone purely as mist coming off the water. Here's to hopefully a good album too!

The red probably symbolizes the blood of the unsung heroes that have been slain in battle.

Thought the same thing myself.

I like the artwork and don't mind the color scheme at all.

First time he isn't holding his sword. Or at least like, leaning on it.
