@Corrupt: My friend interviewed him not long before his death and it was sad and painful to hear. Clearly the death of his brother broke him. And alcoholism. He was drunk even long before the show.
Yeah I know, Chidder. Not having a band and a touring schedule probably still didn't help in his situation. I have a special place in my heart for the guy. Met him several times and he was just an absolute sweetheart every time.
LOL, where are Ensiferum's first two albums?
Ensiferum's s/t album marked breakthrough of viking/folk metal scene so I do not see why was missed alongside Iron.
Sorry man, but Ensiferum is just not in my style. Yes, I don't know them very well, but songs I've heard didn't enlighten me at all, From Afar is on my list only because in bonus track vocals are made by Heri Joensen.
But OK, you convinced me to try them one more time.
