After a decade in which they seemed to be increasingly lost, 2020 saw Ensiferum find the right path, and they continue to reap the rewards.

A cover of Lambada? Do we have a contender for an MSA there?

Not again, especially votes lunging in name of the band.

Let the quality speaks for itself.

Another Ensiferum album, another masterpiece.
I’m a bit bias though.

I love it. A little more of a unique experience as far as Ensiferum albums are concerned (not in a bad way like with Two Paths), what with the concept album angle.
Gives me some From Afar vibes too, which is one of my favorite Ensiferum albums. Every song is great, and Fatherland was an instant hit for me.
My one complaint so far is that I wish it was a little longer. Maybe one more non-instrumental song or so.

"Fatherland" and "From Order To Chaos" were fine tracks, but the album is typical from Ensiferum's later era.

Better than Unsung Heroes and Two Paths but that's about it. Nothing so special in this record. Probably it will get better after few more spins

They've never been the same for me since From Afar so I came into this with my expectations not considerably high in the first place tbh, but unfortunately, apart from a few interesting melodies, I don't find anything more than just a standard folk metal album here, which is such a damn shame. I've certainly heard better from the genre this year

Did they quit doing guitar solos?

Right and once again Ensiferum took a print out of earlier albums renamed with new album title.

Another great record from these guys! Overall I think I actually prefer this album to Thalassic. 2024 is a great year with Winter Storm and Wintersun's Time 2

You can hear the Dragonheads, Victory Songs and From Afar influences...I like it. It's an Ensiferum sound.

I'm glad to have seen them live a few times. They still got it. Right, why wouldn't they sound like themselves musically? Good vibes.
