This song reminded me of twilight tavern, glad to see they are sticking with their roots yet putting a little twist on the new sound. Excited for the new album!
You read my mind bro ahahahah. I don't think these kind of lyrics suits 'em perfectly, but I'm glad these song sounds almost like early Ensiferum (there's only more clean vocals, but it's ok)
@@Kionage I thought the same exact thing! That tempo/key change towards the end was very similar to twilight tavern, looks like they are staying with their roots.
@@TruueMetal go listen to wintersun if you want "true" classic ensiferum. Its literally their old singer/songerwriter/guitarist who was practically the band.
@@eh8432 I consider classic Ensiferum to be the first 3 albums. And Markus contributed much more towards the songwriting in the first two "Jari era" albums than Jari did.
Pekka (Montin) is a great fit for Ensiferum. I really liked his clean vocals on this track! Go, Pekka, go... \,,/ Preordered the boxset + one of the limited vinyl editions through Levykauppa Äx (ltd to 100 copies only).
I love this band it was my first metal band ever and i listen to them to this day they are the best band ever thye give me a unique energy. They put me happy when im in a bad day love them
You guys are marvelous as always. Do not worry about lyrics, everyone knows how beautiful your touch on songs; with warm hugs from Turkey!! keep hammering!!!
Damn that's a fast one! Absolutely epic as always, can't wait to hear the whole album. Already preordered the CD boxset and the numbered golden vinyl before hearing this single.
@@Nopeahuoli1 These Clean Vocals are definitely a fine new Element. I was surprised of it. The Track is in my opinion the best since Years. I still love the First 2 Albums the most
@@umosay Strange you feel that way. From Afar used an array of orchestrations and One Man Army had a terrible mix and a completely different approach to the recording/ production process. This album marks a return of keyboards which we haven't really heard since Unsung Heroes and the return of the same producer and studio with which worked upon Victory Songs. Plus the fact it's essentially straight up Power Metal which was most evident upon Victory Songs.
I am not a fan of the principle of letting journalists piss you off enough to influence your way of composing songs, but the fact is that this song kicks ass ! A "From Afar" wibe ! And as "From Afar" is one of your best albums for me, it is really cool !
This title contains the 3 WORDS that we worship we the pirats, the vikings, the rockers, the cowboys, the tavernists, the rebels, the die-hard, the womanizers, the drunkyards & the metal heads
*makes a rum drink* Hey, rum with pure lemon juice is actually quite nice! I think I'll have another one. *a few drinks later* RUM! WOMEN! VICTORY!!!!!
It's cool, it sounds so different somehow from older Ensiferum. I guess they're evolving in a different direction. As for the lyrics though... lol. I mean, of all the topics to do a song on.
I wasn't too thrilled about the last few albums, but this gives me high hopes. Like holy crap! Also, I never would have expected Kotipelto doing guest vocals here.
I never understood why people say "today's music sucks" or something along those lines. If anything I think we're living in the golden age of music because we have access to all the past music, plus we have Ensiferum.
Perfect timing on this new release! I like it...its always been a toss up if Ensiferum or Wintersun was better...but Jari has a good thing going there and I can't wait to see how he counters this! We need Time part 2 lol 😎
Missed this sort of stuff from you guys. Alestorm inspired lyrics? But the music is totally Ensiferum (and a bit Rhapsody of Fire in the middle there?)
This song is pretty good tbh, can't wait for Väinämöinen Part 3, I hope it sounds much more like the first album instrumentally it sure seems like it!
![ROADIE REACTIONS | "Ensiferum - Rum, Women, Victory" | [FIRST TIME EVER LISTENING]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_tE6cortjEQ/mqdefault.jpg)
It seems like they have waited unti there are no women anymore in the band to sing this xd. Nice song !
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Roflmao
I'm sure the women would've been cool with it! Metal chicks are pretty awesome!
what did happen to the girl in the band? wasnt it the keyboardist?
In his riffs I trust 🤘
In my sword i trust!
In my cannon I trust
I am even trust myself :D
Put one's trust in 🤘
This song reminded me of twilight tavern, glad to see they are sticking with their roots yet putting a little twist on the new sound. Excited for the new album!
Yeah that and One More Magic Potion.
"We're gonna write a song about rum the Ensiferum way!"
"Isn't that just the Alestorm way?"
"Yeah but faster"
Nope. Not at all.
Wow. Yeah. So I don’t think I can ever unsee it, but for some reason I’m perfectly okay with this thought.
😂😂😂
You read my mind bro ahahahah. I don't think these kind of lyrics suits 'em perfectly, but I'm glad these song sounds almost like early Ensiferum (there's only more clean vocals, but it's ok)
* Dragonforce way!
Larga vida a ENSIFERUM!!
Wooo that's so cool! Sounds a bit like good old Ensiferum, a bit like something new, really good job! I can't wait for the rest of the album 😊
Sounds like Brutal Legend OST
tought the same! got some spirit of twilight tavern but also some vibe of the even older ones while beeing somhow more modern :D
@@Kionage
I thought the same exact thing! That tempo/key change towards the end was very similar to twilight tavern, looks like they are staying with their roots.
Ordered.
Super impressed
My fingers are smoking just from listening to these riffs.
YES! I need these riffs in my life!
NOW, added with the awesome Pekka Montin giving his superb punch of metalness, Ensiferum has become a real power house of this genre!
🎸🎤✨⛵⚔️🔥🐲
Już nie mogę się doczekać premiery płyty . Kawałek zarąbisty .
Classic Ensiferum! My smile right now is wider than the seven seas! \m/
not classic at all
@@mattsonhahne3824 It's the most true sounding Ensiferum since Victory Songs, you crackhead.
@@TruueMetal go listen to wintersun if you want "true" classic ensiferum. Its literally their old singer/songerwriter/guitarist who was practically the band.
@@eh8432 I consider classic Ensiferum to be the first 3 albums. And Markus contributed much more towards the songwriting in the first two "Jari era" albums than Jari did.
@Swords Chant go listen to their first album and remember why you used to love them.
2020 needs to end so I can see these guys live somewhere. Every time they have come around my way I have missed them.
Woah I wasnt expecting this!
Pekka (Montin) is a great fit for Ensiferum. I really liked his clean vocals on this track! Go, Pekka, go... \,,/ Preordered the boxset + one of the limited vinyl editions through Levykauppa Äx (ltd to 100 copies only).
This is the Ensiferum I've been waiting to return for over a decade! Awesome!
"Swords high for our queen" is this a reference to The Queen of the Black Coast, one of the most famous Conan stories? That would be awesome! 😁
Greatness! Cant wait for the album.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
the world should pay taxes to finland
Metal tax!
'cause they killed commies?
Yup, I visited Finland for the third time in 2019. Nothing changed, 54% tax and very expensive.
Finland isn't a parasite country so they don't need taxes from others
Neighboring country triggers treasure of music 🍗
0:40 when you hit your pinkie toe on the wall...
I love this band it was my first metal band ever and i listen to them to this day they are the best band ever thye give me a unique energy. They put me happy when im in a bad day love them
You guys are marvelous as always. Do not worry about lyrics, everyone knows how beautiful your touch on songs; with warm hugs from Turkey!! keep hammering!!!
Old ensiferum is back ! Amazing !
Good music for quarantine... And the rest of life
What a great surprise! New album! Sounds awesome 🤘
So nice come back . I'm waiting for the next album
like the mixture with clean heavy voices
Talking about album art; The Defense of the Sampo has never looked this good
@nordicnomad79 Louhi, wicked queen of Pohjola. She can change her shape and is in eagle form. She's the main opponent of Väinämöinen.
@nordicnomad79 Kalevala, we are not Norwegians
Nice one ,have little bit flashback to blood is the prise of glory ,and its true badasa , because rly love dat song,skal !
Damn that's a fast one! Absolutely epic as always, can't wait to hear the whole album. Already preordered the CD boxset and the numbered golden vinyl before hearing this single.
Glorious song!
Ah loved this... Takes me back to the Windrider days with those sick fast paced guitar riffs :)
"From afar" is back! Glad someone kick some sense into ensiferum!
So glad youre coming back to the old sound again with a new touch. Clean vocals sounds great!
Oh yesssss. Finally the fast Guitarlines again. Epic and Great Track . Clean Vocals are Killer🤘🏻😊
For a second i tought that was Timo Kotipelto singing.
@@Nopeahuoli1 These Clean Vocals are definitely a fine new Element. I was surprised of it. The Track is in my opinion the best since Years. I still love the First 2 Albums the most
The guitarlines never went away...
Best material since Victory Songs. Classic Ensiferum has returned!
This is practically From Afar + One Man Army to me. Certainly nothing like VS or prior.
@@umosay Strange you feel that way. From Afar used an array of orchestrations and One Man Army had a terrible mix and a completely different approach to the recording/ production process. This album marks a return of keyboards which we haven't really heard since Unsung Heroes and the return of the same producer and studio with which worked upon Victory Songs. Plus the fact it's essentially straight up Power Metal which was most evident upon Victory Songs.
zerosun you can hear bits of it in the sound, also has the speed of like Ahti and One More Magic Potion
Classic = Jari
I don't buy many albums without hearing anything from it first but Ensiferum is an exception. Fantastic.
Back to epicness, really love it! I really appreciate that power metal vibe's return
I really like the Epicness too, but not these Power Metal Vibes
I was hype until the power metal vibe by is my opinion !
Think about it like a Melodic Death Metal 👌
NEW ALBUM INCOMING YEEEEEH
Good ol' Ensiferum is back, yes!
Damn sonny! That's some solid riffing right there. :)
The legends are back in our time of need!
I am not a fan of the principle of letting journalists piss you off enough to influence your way of composing songs, but the fact is that this song kicks ass ! A "From Afar" wibe ! And as "From Afar" is one of your best albums for me, it is really cool !
Liked this new track and I also liked the clean vocals (Pekka's)
All what we need next is a New Finntroll song.
Excelente! Saludos desde México!
Awesome! Kova kiirus, kiva chorus! I like clean vocals too, was bit afraid beforehand but no worries I see!
This title contains the 3 WORDS that we worship we the pirats, the vikings, the rockers, the cowboys, the tavernists, the rebels, the die-hard, the womanizers, the drunkyards & the metal heads
Impressive song. best they have release since years
Awesome song!!! Looking forward to hearing the rest of the album when it's released.
Two Paths ended up becoming one of my favorite Ensiferum albums. Excited to see what the rest of Thalassic has in store.
Best band EVER! Missed you guys sooo much
Why miss them? They do everything pretty much on time. It's Wintersun who fuck things up and barely release anything.
Well said Ensiferum well said indeed! Having to stay home doesn't seem as bad today. Repay, thrash, drink, repeat.
Metal Blade / Sami responding to comments about the lyrics and people being not shit and discussing rather civilised gives me hope for the future.
Can't wait the rest of the album ! This guitar melody/solo on the chorus is just soo fast
OH ! fcking nice to see u guys again with another epic song.
OH MY ODIN!!! AWESOOOOOOME !!!!!!!!!! SKÅL!!!!!!!!!
Skåll to my metal friend far away
Skal!
Oh hell yes! The part at 2:00 reminded me a bit of Iron Maiden.
If that isn’t Bruce Dickinson or Dio then it’s their lovechild
The harmony at 1:40 gave me Aces High vibes
LOVE THIS... ENSIFERUM THE BEST! COME BACK TO FLORIDA ASAP!!
the clean part is amazing :)
never would have thought clean vocals would be so good with Ensiferum, gj
King of Storms wasn't good enough?
This seriously kicks MAJOR ass! Ensiferum still killing it!
The lead guitar part is so fucking epic!
Been waiting for this forever, come back to El Paso when this is all over guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!
who's doing clean vocals? They sound pretty amazing.
Pekka, their new member
It feels like they could've mixed clean vocal and growls in either the 2nd or 3rd chorus to mix it up a little. Cool song tho :)
Holy shit that clean vox verse two minutes in.
HELL YEAH!
finally a song that is literally all my life goals!! \m/
OH NO THEY WENT FULL IN FLAMES WITH THIS ONE ABORT!
Riff looks like a fast twilight tavern
This is probably the best tune I’ve heard all year...
Genial Y Contundente!!!
Fucking Great Guys...
*makes a rum drink* Hey, rum with pure lemon juice is actually quite nice! I think I'll have another one.
*a few drinks later* RUM! WOMEN! VICTORY!!!!!
AMAZING.
Those cleans are strong! Sounds amazing
It's cool, it sounds so different somehow from older Ensiferum. I guess they're evolving in a different direction. As for the lyrics though... lol. I mean, of all the topics to do a song on.
Excellent! Cheers from Italy! 🤘🏻
FINALMENTE MEU ENSIFERUM DE VOLTA AO SEU ESTILO
I wasn't too thrilled about the last few albums, but this gives me high hopes. Like holy crap! Also, I never would have expected Kotipelto doing guest vocals here.
That’s the new member singing
I stand corrected then! But, boy does he sound like Timo Kotipelto there.
Best song ever
This is a great mash of old a new, the gods are pleased, your swords strike true!
Bruder schallert das
henno was machstn du hier ich dachte eskimo callboy wäre dein gebiet xD
Great song
Alesiferum sounds good!
I never understood why people say "today's music sucks" or something along those lines. If anything I think we're living in the golden age of music because we have access to all the past music, plus we have Ensiferum.
The virility song!
As i said before Bestsiferum! My favourite finnish folk metal band. 🤨😎😈💀☠
Perfect timing on this new release! I like it...its always been a toss up if Ensiferum or Wintersun was better...but Jari has a good thing going there and I can't wait to see how he counters this! We need Time part 2 lol 😎
still waiting for a norther reunion but I guess petri sticks to vikings :/
Awesome!!!!
Amazing!
Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.
Missed this sort of stuff from you guys. Alestorm inspired lyrics? But the music is totally Ensiferum (and a bit Rhapsody of Fire in the middle there?)
EnsiPower Metal?
They turned into alestorm. I love it
Those vocals caught me completely off guard, in the most glorious of ways
@@michailchatzipanagiotou3397 What ?
The songs sounds like something from Victory songs.
@@epicans6065 Exactly! My first thought too!
They've always been a power metal band
I fucking love Ensiferum! 🤘🏻
If this is prelude for the coming album. I love it already.
Awesome track!!! que buena banda amigos(as) a esperar el nuevo materíal en Julio lml
Fucking kickass song! I liked the little power metal sounding part at the middle section. Can't wait for the album, sounds killer so far!
This song is pretty good tbh, can't wait for Väinämöinen Part 3, I hope it sounds much more like the first album instrumentally it sure seems like it!
Brutal!
HOLY SHIT! I wasn't expecting this! What a gteat surprise guys!
🤘🤘🤘🤘Greetings from Bolivia🇧🇴
Yeeeeeesssss!! Ensiferum doing a rum-drinking belter?!! :D
