@tehl33t666 I would call it heroic folk metal. Viking metal is irrelevant, Ensiferum is Finnish. Finnish people were not vikings - Danish, Swedish and Norwegian does, so there is no intention for them to sing about foreign folklore. About that melodeath.. hm, we can say, that there are some influences - no surprise, there is Petri Lindroos after all. And: viking metal and black metal have many aspects in common, Eniferum does not have anything to do with black metal.
@chrysina2011 What the hell are you talking about? First of all, its Adolf Hitler, second of all, what do Viking metal have to do with nationalsocialism? And third of all, this is a band from Finland!
@nastypastel -breathes heavily- i just returned from a battlefield i ran into after i listened to this song... i came back to type this comment and press the dislike button with my last bit of strenght... -dies-
@massgilms Yeah but the screaming works to put across intensity and aggression in songs where that's the message; as this is a more retrospective, calmer song, no screams. I think it's a cool juxtaposition :)
I'm not that familiar but is this what you would call Folk Metal? I mainley like Brutal Death Metal and some Black Metal but this doesn't sound too bad. Can someone reccomend some other albums by this band that are good.
@sigangalin Just because someone doesn't like a certain genre of metal doesn't mean they like pop shite. I'm not keen on a lot of death metal. Doesn't mean I don't like all other metal though does it. This shit about certain pop musicians is fucking boring...
yesterday i was reading on a magazine about the roman legions, while listening this song... even the songs is about different age, it fit well with the article...
Vikings or Romans i don't care... both EPIC (and Ensiferum too)
Best song on From Afar. Easily. Fucking love Ensiferum. Though I really like this album, I think Iron was the best they've released. I really prefer Jari to Petri. Also why I like Wintersun more than Ensiferum, even though they're both in my top 3 favourite bands.
This is a very great song, even tho songs like Ad Victoriam, Victory song, ahti and one more magic potion are quite amusing from Victory songs album and Iron has great songs like Ferrum aeternum lost in despair and lai lai hei.
I think this album is a very great development above their already great way of making music, this is amazing and I hope their next album will even be better.
