If anyone is wondering why this sounds so much like Wintersun, it's because Jari Mäenpää was still a member of Ensiferum then. The new stuff isn't bad but it lacks a lot of the charm of Ensiferum's early work.
Ensiferum post-Jari and Wintersun are both somehow their own projects that were birthed by a flawed band where everyone had different and differing ideas, yet the two albums they made are unprecedented. Neither band went the right way afterwards. Ensiferum with Jari could have been a legendary metal band up there with Metallica, Iron Maiden, Death, InFlames, Bodom. Nothing against Petri or Marcus or Wintersun, but it's just not... it.
3.5 years ago i listened to this song for the first time in my life. So i learned about ensiferum and folk metal... my life changed so much like when humanity discovered fire! ENSIFERUM FOR LIFE!! BEST BAND ON THE UNIVERSE! HAIL FROM GREECE!

Never has been, either. I mean, maybe yeah, on the basis of talent, they could have been compared but as a composer, Jari is much more knowledgeable and versatile. He's superior to Alexi(and Petri, though I'm a huge fan of him as well) on almost all terms.

Fist-clenching goodness! This is always the song that starts me off on a session of journeying into the wilderness, quaffing huge amounts of ale and rejoicing in the beauty of music!
Scandinavian bands are really the best. Too bad I'm from a tiny African island. :( But I managed to get to see Opeth, Ensiferum and Amon Amarth live though, which is really awesome. I guess I can now die in peace. :)
I saw them live in Belgium, also with Korpiklaani at Graspop Metal Meeting 2015. I'm from the States, so it was an AMAZING once in a lifetime thing for me to see.
I literally listened this last night, after many, many cans of ale. Suddenly the old Ukko came down from the taivas and hit me in the back of my head with his Ukonvasara. I woke up, my face on the keyboard. Hungover or not, feel more finnish than ever!

this song still amazes me after so long. gonna see them this year at graspop if nothing happens badly i surely hope not.it will be the 3rd time but like u can hear its worth going evreytime u can! ensiferum you and many others keep me going! HAIL.... i mean LAI LAI HEI!
Не понимаю людей, ставящих дизлайки, песня воистину великая. Не нравится жанр- проходите мимо. Нравится жанр- так в чём проблема? (на мой взгляд это одна из лучших песен в этом жанре)
I am a Christian Orthodox , and I love Viking Metal ! Everyone can listen to the music they like to , without having to change their religion beliefs . After all music is a way of art !
I am Finnish Lutheran Christian and I agree. Many of my friends have become members of Orthodox Church of Finland and I happy for them finding their path.
I played this at 1.5x speed and my computer exploded. Not sure if because sheer insanity of the song or because my newly-grown beard was suddenly blocking the exhaust fan.
"most of Finland was captured by Vikings" I think you should read again... Not to be mean, just saying. Vikings did not live here and they were also slayed by the finns, not only other way around. For example at Nokia, Jaarl Freygeir was killed in the battle and 170 of he's 200 ships were sinked. Finns were not bad warriors against Vikings neither. That heritage later continued in Swedish army Hakkapeliitta troops and against Red Army 1939-1945. These merits makes us proud non-viking warriors.
@@trumpjongun8831 in finnish schools, after hundreds of years of swedish influence, we are still taught a pro-swedish side of history. as in before their arrival, finns were some cavemen picking berries, which is bullshit.

Ensiferum is a great band, and every greatband has it's own sound, but if you like this, you should try Korpiklaani, Moonsorrow, Tyr, Eluveitie, Amon Amarth, Summoning, Heidevolk, Manegarm, Thyrfing, Svartsot, Finntroll,... and perhaps Alestorm, Alestorm is not really pagan but pirate metal =D sounds great ^^
on 4:10 Meiju Enho... Viking Metal Queen...this has been a revisited song...i had downloaded this video from keepvid in multiple formats, at that time the resolutions i opted was 360p and that was way back around 2012. 'Tears' from the Viking Metal Queen is also a great hearsay

Why haven't I discover this band earlier ! Truly amazing
Alex La Carotte ensiferum has been my jam since atleast 2007, NOOB :) JK
O uso de instrumentos acústicos está perfeito e casa notavelmente com a parte mais heavy. A canção tem uma ambiência nórdica fantástica.
Thanks Ensiferum! Dammit ! Now my PC got a beard and a Battleaxe!

Hopefully by now you are running a proper Axeblocker to avoid incidents like this :D
ok now pay up the beard and axe's money they aren't for free ya kno'

gotta say Jari is imo one of the best guitarists alive today
gotta say i feel the same. He is the Finnish Yngwie Malmsteen!

While I respect the respect you have for Valfar (he deserves it), however I am not sure what the connection is here.

Black Emperor Finland is the best Republic of the Soviet Union
рдыо you're right, except it isn't but it was. Now it's only the best republic. :)
Except Finland was never part of Soviet Union. But part of Russian Empire until 6. Dec. 1917. Soviet union was 30 Dec. 1922 - 26. Dec. 1991.
The best metal, and the best metal in general, is finnish

folk metal is the best metal!!
gothic metal and industrial also are best
Vadim Piper not prog metal is the best
@@VadimPiper opinions , for me best genres are thrash metal and power metal
Doom Metal too!
for some people the folk metal is not metal. for me is one of the best and my favourite.
