The whole song lead to that point at 14:59. Everything before that is only a build-up to that moment. All the chaos, all the weird bits, all the rage and softness of the previous parts of the song, etc. they all come crashing together, and from this point forward, until the end of the song, everything makes sense. You find a sort of peace of mind. 14:59 to 17:01 is the reward for the previous 15 minutes. One of the greatest moments in music history as far as I'm concerned.
yes i agree ..... it goes beyond Bohemian Rapsody , Stairway to Heaven and Child in Time ..... but still .....all four song's are together as One !!!! \m/ !!!!!
This song is pure epicness. All people who say "This album sucks ecc" don't understand how to listen this band. All albums are different and are also fantastic in their own way.
fuck yeah man, you're absolutely right, i know a lot of people who spit in this fucking masterpiece like it was their worst album, but as you say, I think that every album has something different too. From Afar is epic, Victory Songs is warrior, Iron is violent, and about this one, it's the most folk, it's full of choirs and beautiful melodic parts, that's why it's one of my favourite
It's a masterpiece. I understand why a lot of people don't like it. It's not for everyone, the beauty of it is hidden and not everyone can understand it. I think you know what I mean. If you just sit back and listen, it will take you far away. It's beautiful.
Some people don't seem to understand that this, is true folk metal, of a rare quality. They're hitting their stride, yeah, it's less and less fast as it was before, but it's so damn powerful and deep. Great music, all of you, who whine it's not the same anymore, at least try to listen to the album from the 1st to the last song, and if you still don't like it, I don't know, listen to a former album, simply. Perso, I love it. Thanks Ensiferum !
I am, you are, no one's slave No man or god they have made I am, you are, no one's slave No man or god they have made I am, you are, no one's slave No man or god they have made I am, you are, no one's slave No man or god they have made EPIC!!
"I only have just one more wish That this torch will be passed on to someone sentient like you When your time comes, don't lose your heart Have faith and patience and trust in the flame before passing it on to someone new"
Coming back after a long time away, Its like coming home to a comfortable fire, but now I am older, more tired, and happier. This song hits properly now!
this album is a masterpiece by anyone's standards, everything is so tight. even on the face of it, it's quite impressive; what other bands have ridiculously fast paced metal songs like 'retribution shall be mine' coupled next to 'celestial bond', a beautiful, harmonious acoustic track with female vocals? all topped off with 17 minute long track of perfect composition. the album stretches over 2 languages and at least 3 genres. ensiferum are by far one of the best bands going.
i agree ! \m/ but for me it 's not one of the best bands going ...it is the best band ever ..! ....... but i love Queen , The Doors , Muse , Asagraum ...and Rammstein and many others too ; p \m/
I love this song..what got to me from the first listen was that street medieval market feel and that "WUNDERBAR" at the end of it..wish I could understand and hear more of it..
My favourite ensiferum track from the new album, along with Unsung Heroes, Star Queen and Pohjola :D Note to anyone bashing this track and album in general : Yes, music is subjective so it's entirely natural that some may find it not to their tastes. However, also consider the fact that the only member remaining in the original lineup is Markus. This means that Ensiferum at the present is essentially almost like a new band who tries to preserve the folky attitude while still proving fresh ideas.
I have some longer suggestions if you would like: "Achilles Agony and Ecstasy In Eight Parts" (28:38) by Manowar, based on Homer's "The Iliad" "Octavarium" (24:00) by Dream Theatre, an original concept about Dream Theatre's influences and their current influence on music "The Odyssey" (24:08) by Symphony X, based on Homer's "The Odyssey"
It took me a while to get into this song. At first I thought it was garbage, because of some bad vocals and really simplistic/primitive piano in the background. Now I can look past its flaws and appreciate it for what it is: an epic, emotional package filled with a little bit everyting I've grown to love in Ensiferum's songs.
Could you write down what they say there? I've been listening to this song for years and I've always wondered about it, but I can't find it anywhere...
I actually like this better then the victory songs album, I also think that every album they've made is amazing with the Ensiferum album as my favorite!
+avarie777 I have found it, original text is on german, sourse - www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/ensiferum/829231-passion-proof-power-german-text.html Hey! What are you doing? Well, not much, my wife just left to buy some sausages I think I'll have a beer at the Twilight Tavern Great! I'll come with you Over here, come along here, be welcome gentlemen! Here you'll find pretty women, wild men We have lots of food, the best beer And at the end of the day we're going to sacrifice another dreadful witch to the flames But first, let musicians from afar entertain you Who will be burned as well, should they exceed their playing time! Excuse me, who's playing tonight? Ensiferium and Finntroll from Finland Oh, great!
Realy... first time i listen to it i didn't like it, but then i dont accepted that ensiferum made a bad music, so i listened with lyrics and BANG!!! this is an epic masterwork music and the best one (even better than Victory Song). Sure, its more "progressive" than "heavy" metal, but i think ensiferum aways has a "prog" toutch... this album proves it and focus on this. My Opinion obviously. Sorry for the bad english hehehe
its some serious weak sauce that I find out about Unsung Heroes the day Wintersun's time comes out. Now I'm suddenly covered in cream and I don't know what to do first :(
Cont: So of course, if you have a preference to the older Ensiferum lineup (demos-Iron) I can fully understand why this material may be hard to enjoy. BUT simply as music, I can't agree with anyone bashing this band's composition. It's unlike old Ensiferum, but were this a new band, I'm sure several heads would be turning by now.
This song reminds me to prog rock bands like Genesis or Emerson,Lake & Palmer. What are they talking about from 12:09 to 12:57? I've heard "Ensiferum" "Fintroll"...
Ah, such an epic song. I love the progressive touch. It's pretty cool to hear this side of Ensiferum, I'm totally diggin' it. Good album imo, could have been better, could have been worse. With that being said, let's just enjoy the latest production of these wonderful musicians. P.S. People have their own opinions, respect them as you would like the other people to respect yours. Cheers!
Absolutely agree with "PickOfDestiny89"! Where are the enchanted and fired voices of the sword-bearers ??? Trivial stuff in the new album except "Burning Leaves" !
Couldnt care less if someone agrees with me on that matter. I just dont like when someone forces me to like something and puts words in my mouth i never said.
@@JohnSmith-es3dn It is a bit late, but I will gladly do so. For Context this part sounds like it is staged in a medieval festival setting: A: Hey, what are you doing here? B: Oh not much, my wife is on her way buying dried sausages, now I think I fetch me some beer in the twilight tavern. A: Well then! I'm coming along! C (The announcer of the tavern): This way, this way! Welcome noble gentlemen, the women are beautiful here and the men wild, we got an abundance of food, the best beer and at the end of the day we will purge another wretched witch in the fire. But before that let yourself be entertained from far-traveled ministrels which will also be burned if they overstay their playing time. (laughter from A and B) B: Pardon, who is playing this evening if I may ask? C: Ensiferium and Finntroll from Finland---- A and B unisono: JA WUNDERBAR! (I hope this part was self explanatory) It also took me some time to realize they speak german, since the flute is playing over ~most of it. It made me proud they included such a funny tidbit of german in here and it makes me proud to be able to translate it to you today. Enjoy!
Of course everyone thinks this is the worst album. It's their newest album. Can anyone make a list of bands for me that have at least 3 albums and are still as amazing as they were in their glory days? Or, perhaps at least 4 albums. I am content with this album.

This might be the best song i´ve heard in my life.
+CringeBoy 69 yep i agree
+CringeBoy 69 Me too...
+CringeBoy 69 I could listen to and endless loop of the final three minutes of this song.
X2
It is.. a masterpiece.
Most underrated art of music so far. No words. This is all music you get of 2000 years

just awesome!epic melodic folk masterpiece and all together again!very good work!hope one day to see them live!
It took me a few times to warm up to this song, but now I can't stop listening to it. Nice prog rock influences and very cool ending
its my absolute number 1 song from my absolute number 1 band
I am, you are, no one's slave
No man or god they have made
I am, you are, no one's slave
No man or god they have made
I am, you are, no one's slave
No man or god they have made
I am, you are, no one's slave
No man or god they have made
EPIC!!
Lifetime great song from Ensiferum , Hail to crew , Thanks for awesome melody and arrangement ! Composition is so nice ! Best of Ensiferum !!!!
"When your time comes, don't lose your heart
Have faith and patience and trust in the flame
Before passing it onto someone new" ♥
What is the flame the song refers to?
@@JohnSmith-es3dnthink it’s just generally about time and handing the keys to the newer generations when your time has come
"I only have just one more wish
That this torch will be passed
on to someone sentient like you
When your time comes,
don't lose your heart
Have faith and patience and trust in the
flame before passing it on to someone new"
With reason as my sword. The knowledge as my shield. The best way to live out any life.
ur mom gay
I can't stop listening to this song
17minutes of pure music dudes the rest just try to keep up come on this how music should be endless and pure in heart love this
This passion has proven the power of this album
+Jelmer van der Zaag !!!!!!!!!!:)))))))))))))))))
the longer the song the more kick ass it is and can be, and this song is proof of that.
i agree
Awesome!!!
17 minutes of pure perfection!!
i agree
Can't understand why people hate this song...

I love this song..what got to me from the first listen was that street medieval market feel and that "WUNDERBAR" at the end of it..wish I could understand and hear more of it..
Esta canción no sale de mi mente, me encanta muchísimo. Adoro a Ensiferum ❤️

"The Odyssey" (24:08) by Symphony X, based on Homer's "The Odyssey"
If I may add to that, Elysium by Stratovarius (18:13)
If I may add to this a majority of Buckethead's pikes my personal favorites being Celery and Hold Me Forever
12 years after it's as epic and beautiful as the first time
"Ensiferium und Finntroll aus Finland! .... JA, Wunderbar!!!!!" :D Sehr gut
yep finde ich auch ...
More Ensiferum epicness!
It took me a while to get into this song. At first I thought it was garbage, because of some bad vocals and really simplistic/primitive piano in the background. Now I can look past its flaws and appreciate it for what it is: an epic, emotional package filled with a little bit everyting I've grown to love in Ensiferum's songs.
I swear to god I thought it was Tarja singing.
Wie GEIL einfach mal eine schöne Passage auf deutsch geredet :D
Could you write down what they say there? I've been listening to this song for years and I've always wondered about it, but I can't find it anywhere...
very cool experimentation on this song, must have been fun making it.
7:30 that voice is too powerful for this planet
I am, you are, no one's slave
No man or god they have made !
Awesome
This is a great song.
WUNDERBAR!
Thanks!
I've heard the new album for at least 15 times already. And I watched the DVD too, it was amazing as well!
How have i missed this? This is FUCKING great!! It's like a melodic metal prostitute buffet of annihilation!
Thank you!!
EPIC SONG
Epic beyond belief!
Best Album ever❤
geniaal nummer elke milli seconde of et ...,.!!!! \m/
I'm extremely happy that Jari left Ensiferum. Wintersun is beyond amazing, and their new album is fucking epic and powerful!
I actually like this better then the victory songs album, I also think that every album they've made is amazing with the Ensiferum album as my favorite!
отличная песня и мелодия
I really love this sond
i want to buy this album
I'm surprised no one got a Therion feeling from this epic track. Def does grow on you after the first listen. Hope they play it live.
Fair enough, there wasn't a bad/boring song on that album! Probably Abandoned for me, I don't think they made a song with that much emotion again.
Fucking amazing song.
Being different does not equal bad; either you the change or you don't, and just because you don't does not mean he has to.
EPIC
I like this song, but I can't understand some of words.
Could anyone please provide english text from 12:00 - 13:00 ?
Thanks.
+avarie777
I have found it, original text is on german, sourse - www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/ensiferum/829231-passion-proof-power-german-text.html
Hey! What are you doing?
Well, not much, my wife just left to buy some sausages
I think I'll have a beer at the Twilight Tavern
Great! I'll come with you
Over here, come along here, be welcome gentlemen!
Here you'll find pretty women, wild men
We have lots of food, the best beer
And at the end of the day we're going to sacrifice another dreadful witch to the flames
But first, let musicians from afar entertain you
Who will be burned as well, should they exceed their playing time!
Excuse me, who's playing tonight?
Ensiferium and Finntroll from Finland
Oh, great!
Thanks :D
Does anyone know how to play the riff from 5:27 on? tabs or something pleeeeassee
Stop complaining people... They did an awesome job. This is a folkier album that's all!
Realy... first time i listen to it i didn't like it, but then i dont accepted that ensiferum made a bad music, so i listened with lyrics and BANG!!! this is an epic masterwork music and the best one (even better than Victory Song).

anyone knows who sings at 8:14? Tarja Turunen? nightwish singer?
Máster piece💗💗💗
i agree!!!!!! \m/!!
Some Tarja vibes in this one. Can't decide if it's good or not

quien hace las voces en sopprano e
n unas partes de esta cancion
This song reminds me to prog rock bands like Genesis or Emerson,Lake & Palmer. What are they talking about from 12:09 to 12:57? I've heard "Ensiferum" "Fintroll"...
Is that still Ulla Burger singing at 11:13?
Why is the intro talking in German?
I was confused because I am German haha.
Thought its a finish band.
epic..!
JA, WUNDERBAAAAAAR!!!!!
a progressive song, i like it
5:27 = Eargasm
The longest song I've ever heard, and it's a very interesting song
There are two guys asking who is playing that night and the man says that its Ensiferum and Finntroll lol It's german and very random!
Very different than a track like Slayer of Light, I agree :) But, the end is totally epic...
Fun fact of the day: These lyrics are spoken by the dudes from Die Apokalyptischen Reiter ;)
Another great band...
This is the best Song, along with In my sword I trust !
Ah, such an epic song. I love the progressive touch. It's pretty cool to hear this side of Ensiferum, I'm totally diggin' it. Good album imo, could have been better, could have been worse. With that being said, let's just enjoy the latest production of these wonderful musicians.

Yeah sure it is. Got my album and dvd tomorrow morning..oh maaaannnnnn, it's amazing. Can't fucking wait till Time2.
Absolutely agree with "PickOfDestiny89"!
Where are the enchanted and fired voices of the sword-bearers ???
Trivial stuff in the new album except "Burning Leaves" !
The woman singing is Ulla Bürger
12:50 "Finntroll aus Finnland" you mean that? But where do they mention Ensiferum?
13:48 pure awesomness
what is UMG? i can't listen ''last breath'' anywhere
Where can I go to live the viking lifestyle.
in dreamland .......
4:36 good work of emmi just beutifull piano playing :|
9:40 Sonata Arctica?
9:12 the high point of this album
I also have to ask why were they speaking German at like 12:30? Ensiferum is from Finland.
12.07 --> 12.55 !?!? Lyrics?
I didn't get in it when I first listened it, but it gets better every time. Up to par with everything they have done, although different, IMO
Couldnt care less if someone agrees with me on that matter. I just dont like when someone forces me to like something and puts words in my mouth i never said.
This song makes me think of the movie 13th warrior...
geiler Song!!! :) hab nicht damit gerechnet, dass in diesem Song deutsch gesprochen wird
