"Winter Storm" available now.
The Finnish folk-metal melodeath sensation has maintained a prolific release schedule since their first demo in 1997, gradually increasing in stature until eighth album Thalassic crowned their ascent in 2020. The nautical opus went on to top Finland's album chart, reaching #3 in Germany, and top ten in Switzerland, Canada, and the United States. Eventually, ENSIFERUM would take Thalassic on two massive world tours and to festivals like Wacken, Hellfest, Summer Breeze, and Ragnarök, but the global Covid pandemic ensured that the four-year wait for Winter Storm would be the longest in the band's near-thirty-year history.
Much of the new material emerged in the lockdown era, when ENSIFERUM's founding guitarist Markus Toivonen set himself the challenge of finding new ways to make music -- eventually composing every song except the rousing, anthemic “Fatherland,” written by bassist Sami Hinkka. The addition of singer/organist Pekka Montin's crystal-clear melodic high notes provided a tremendous boost on Thalassic. But on Winter Storm -- a fantasy concept narrative penned by Hinkka -- Montin's super-strong voice finds its optimal place in ENSIFERUM's sound. Bringing to life such grandiose, heroic material, the singer emerges as one of the greatest vocal discoveries of the decade.
"The way I see it, this album is more like a 'musical' than a traditional album," says Hinkka. "The lyrics of Winter Storm are based on part of my unpublished fantasy book. One day it will be out… I don’t want to reveal the plot or details too much but ‘Winter Storm Vigilantes’ and ‘Fatherland’ tell of two factions in this long tale. The Vigilantes have gained knowledge to utilize certain rare elements, and even though there was already magic in this world, with this new epiphany they have reached a completely new level. This element seems to interact with living things in a way that even the wisest men don’t completely understand. And through generations of trial and error, they have refined a skill to expose their horses to the element and managed to break the law of gravity, making their steeds fly. But they became ruthless and greedy on their quest to gain more of this element. A small tribe in the north keep on fighting for their land, which the Vigilantes plan to take over. These North Folks will literally fight until the last man…
“Other characters include a Vigilante castaway, the last shaman of the North Folk, and a mysterious widow. The album ends with a great battle against the Vigilantes and the unholy alliance of the castaway and the North Folk shaman, who has transcended into a spirit wolf. Who will prevail? Will this be the final battle of the book? Time will tell… I understand that all this sounds very far out -- well, it is a fantasy book -- but believe me, it will be truly an epic story!"
Adds Hinkka of ENSIFERUM’s first single from the offering, “Winter Storm Vigilantes,” “Markus had quite grandeur visions of the song and it turned out to be even more heroic than we expected. It was an obvious choice to open the new album. This epic song serves as one faction of the big story. The song pushes forward with the might of a thousand horses and will surely be a great song in the future setlist.”

2:44 "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow in the knee."
So this is what the fighter ⚔ and the wolf looks like
😍💗
I love the song, I love the video. Both were made with so much passion and love. Petri singing, the choir... everything is in harmony... and Pekka sings it with the power of 1000 warriors 🔥 ⚔ and Samis voice. Simply great !❤️

Hopefully not. Not that it's not good. It is, but nothing to stick to your brain.
I love this song sooo much, and this video is amazing!!! Well done, guys!! 🐺🌕⚔️
Love this band! And really enjoying their new backup vocals... it has a ring to Kai Hansen. Cool video as well... the song sounds a lot like the Victory Songs era. Hail Ensiferum!
⚔Der "Neue" ist eine echte Bereicherung für Ensiferum⚔
Long live Ensiferum
Howling in faith in isolation helps us grow spiritually.

Jumalauta että lähtee🇫🇮🤘
Amazing guys!!

The two first albums with Jari for me still are the best, now there's too much "contamination" with power metal, but it's a great band and I like every stuff they release.
❤😂😂🎉😢un saludo gracias❤❤😂
Sweet what new stuff I never knew this band
❤😂🎉🎉bueno pasar buen día gracias❤😂

It's the best song on the album. I'm not the biggest fan of too many clean vocals on this album, but this one track is dope!
Meisterwerk ❤️🔥🔥

Épico...exquisito!!!
Hyvältähän se kuulostaa edelleen.

It's 2025 already?😮
Masterpiece as usual - apart from the clean vocals - please no more clean vocals! it weakens the spirit and feels sooo misplaced!
Попсово
Second
First
pro stuff, a bit of too common-sounding maybe, clean chorus could be louder/sharper, maybe kik could be a bit chestier. spike of snare sticks out a bit too.
wtf
OG Ensiferum fan, new line up is shit. Last time I hope for something good.
OG ensiferum fan here as well! Pekka’s addition is a breath of fresh air for material that went rather stagnant between 2012-2017. New album shreds!
Meh.
Needs no keyboards, less choir, and for god's sake more metal.
well there's plenty of that around, wanting a band to drop all their signature aspects after 25 years is just funny.
