dude... I hope you're kidding its viking metal from Finland...
Actually, it's more folk metal than viking.
Anyways, these guys have been my favorite band for about a year now. I love every aspect about them...they're so..unique. As soon as I heard them, it was one of those "holy shit" moments.
I hate how people give their last album shit because of Jari's leave. I mean, I understand that losing their lead guitarist and vocalist is a big change, but cmon, he was replaced by Petri Lindroos! I might be a little biased on Petri, because Norther is also one of my favorite bands, but the change wasn't bad for me. Not at all. I loved their last album.
I was actually listening to Little Dreamer as I clicked this topic. It's killing me that I cant get to paganfest (Fuckin Florida >.<)
Their only semi-weak release as of yet was Dragonheads, and even that kicked ass.
Basically, what im trying to get across here, is that Ensiferum kick ass. Period.
