Album Reviews

4 years in the making and it was worth the wait. Ensiferum does a throw to album of the year where epic, gloomy, atmospheric, and melodic are some of the words to describe this journey that is ‘Winter Storm’, out via Metal Blade Records on October 18!

With new elements and looking back at early successes, Ensiferum created a new epic in their career and will be looked at as one of their best for sure!

The Swedish vikings of Grimner offer you “Vanadrottning”; another serving of heavy folk metal!
