After hearing this, I can't say I'm very excited for Unsung Heroes.

Fairly enjoyable for me. Hopefully it'll be one of the weaker tracks from the album

Not as bad as I would have expected, but still skeptical regarding the album.

Less than typical Ensiferum, but still...

Typical Ensiferum, enjoyable I'd say.

I don't expect nothing mindblowing, just keep the same winning formula to make safe albums, thing that lots of bands do even if it decreases the excitement (and a bit of quality) for each new album.

It's great to hear the original sound of ensiferum after the previous 'too-much-synths' album

I definitely second this. The vocals are a bit annoying though, sounds like they are a bit too forced...

All in all, many beers will be consumed during the first listen of this album

Liekö enää päällä maan
ainuttakaan joka muistaa
lehdon tuon kauniin, kaukaisen
jonne vie tie jokainen

Kun kuolee vartija viimeinen
keskellä liekkien ikuinen
kuu ja maailma ihmisten
niin loppuu aikamme...

Quite a tough poem to translate actually...

Well that was... boring..

It pretty much sounds like a proto-ensiferum demo but with good production. very underwhelming considering the complexity of the last album and the catchiness of the VS.

Sounds really good to me cant wait for unsung heroes

Nothing new but I am ready for the journey

ZZZZZZZZZ.

Extremely average. If this song were done with clean vocals that weren't operatic, it would be 10 times worse.

Yeah, pretty boring, actually. Not bad. Hopefully one of the weaker tracks.

Too Ensiferum...

I'm pretty sure Burning Leaves will not be my favourite song on the album. What I'm always curious aout when Ensiferum releases an album is how good the intro will be. They've always delivered the goods when it comes to the intro. Epic beyond epic.

I have high hopes, and I'm sure I'll like the album like I always do.

Not very good, but isn't bad either. Average song. Anyway, I am excited about upcoming album. Just hope other song will be way more better...

A good song, no more, no less. As many others, I hope it's one of the weaker tracks.

Love It! Cant Wait!

Funny how the opinions are spreading in here...
I do like, didn't expect such a song but it's cool!

It's ok but below all their previous stuff albeit the solo is great, never the less the song is faded and I'm sure the rest is way better. That's a clever decision, don't show the best (mainstream music do that) at first.

Hmm I don't really like the chorus too much. It's not a bad song though.
If this is one of the longer songs and they cut it just to be a preview than it could be
pretty good actually! I like the guitar work when its fading out!
Can't wait for the whole album!

Sounds good. Can't wait

Boooooooooring. Hope this is the now-mandatory slower track with bad clean vocals (Wanderer, Smoking Ruins) and not an average of what the whole album will sound like...
