Ensiferum

Toh! Un tour :mansell:

 

Beh alla fin fine, schifo per schifo che mi ha fatto Unsung Heroes, al Fosch dell'anno scorso gli Ensiferum hanno spaccato il sederino eh! Quindi ben venga il tour, visto la vicinanza penso proprio che a Trezzo sarò presente!

 

Esatto, concordo! Qua per esempio avevo la camera settata in bassa qualità ma si nota chiaramente l'Enfasi

 

Arrivato da poco Dragonheads.
Magnifico.
Domani arriva Victory Songs

 

Nuovo album a febbraio!!

ENSIFERUM: Finnish Folk Metal Collective To Release New Full-Length This February Via Metal Blade Records; Bonus Track Posted

Finland’s favourite folk metal collective and recent Metal Blade Records signees, ENSIFERUM, will unleash their sixth studio album this Winter. Titled “One Man Army”, the predominantly analog-recorded offering was tracked between September and November of this year with award-winning producer Anssi Kippo (Children Of Bodom, Impaled Nazarene, Entwine etc.) at Astia-studio in Lappeenranta, Finland.

Elaborates ENSIFERUM bassist/vocalist Sami Hinkka of the sessions, “Recording process was long, hard, rewarding and full of incredible moments. Instruments were actually played and left as they were instead of creating tracks from hundreds of different takes, moving them to the grid and modifying things. Of course computers were used but overall we made everything as analog as possible. Listeners can experience a better sound and natural groove, something that we think most metal albums lack these days. Overall, the album sounds much more like a band playing live rather than ‘midi-metal.’”

Commended by Outburn Magazine for songs that are consistently “epic scope” with a “reliance on catchy melodies,” ENSIFERUM’s “One Man Army” serves as the follow-up to 2012’s lauded “Unsung Heroes” full-length and boasts the stunningly detailed, mythological cover craftings of renowned illustrator Gyula Havancsák (Annihilator, Týr, Elvenking, Stratovarius etc).

“On the new album, we took many things musically to the next level so we decided also to try something new graphics-wise,” relays Hinkka. “Gyula Havancsák who did phenomenal job! For the first time it was really nice to be more involved with designing the cover and all details. Our humble gratitude to Gyula for all the patience and really amazing results. We couldn't be more satisfied!"

As a precursor to the release, today ENSIFERUM is pleased to unleash the fittingly-titled "Warmetal" for public consumption. Composed by Demonos Sova of Finnish black metal unit, Barathrum, the track is currently available on the covermount CD of the current issue of Germany’s Legacy - The Voice From The Dark Side and is streaming in all its battle-ready glory at ENSIFERUM | One Man Army.

ENSIFERUM’s One Man Army will be released via Metal Blade Records on February 24th, 2015. Further details, including track listing and additional teaser hymns to be unveiled in the coming weeks. In the meantime, 70,000 Tons of Metal voyagers will be able to catch ENSIFERUM live next month before they kick off a massive European trek, wielding their swords alongside Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum.

Spero sia meglio di Unsung Heroes

 

Peggio sarebbe dura

 

Non mettere mai limiti al peggio

 

Svelata la copertina.

 

Bella

 

bella copertina, ma spero in un album superiore all ultimo ma ho dei dubi...

 

fanno sempre copertine belle, ma poi cadono sulla musica. Sono diventati ripetitivi e commercialissimi. Se virano sul non commerciale gli stringo la mano

 

Ma Unsung Heroes non è affatto commerciale! Anzi, hanno voluto sperimentare e forse un po' troppo...

 

tanto alla band non interessa il genere di composizioni che vorremmo ascoltare noi, loro compongono e sfornano, poi se a noi piace bene, se non piace sti cazzi. Tanto interessano solo i soldi. Meno male che ho trovato bands migliori che ci mettono prima il cuore e poi prendono penna e carta.

 

Non credo che tra Ensiferum, Korpiklaani, Turisas e Finntroll (tanto per citare i gruppi "di punta") ci siano dei gran "nuovi ricchi". Secondo me metà di loro lavora ancora. E chi riesce a campare di sola musica non ha sicuramente megavilla e parco macchine.
