Ensiferum Re-Issues

FINNISH FIGHTSTARS Ensiferum will have their first two albums made officially available in the UK for the very first time.   

‘Ensiferum’ - originally issued in 2001 - will be released on April 6th.

‘Iron’ - originally issued in 2004 – will be released on April 13^th.

Both albums, groundbreaking titles within the ever-burgeoning ‘Battle Metal’ genre, will come with bonus material. 

After entering the studio for the first time in the latter part of the ‘90s, Ensiferum have been constantly sharpening their sound, dispensing epic music heavy in both atmosphere and attack, with their most recent 'Victory Songs' opus (re-issued in the UK last year as a 2-CD set with the 'Dragonheads' EP) taking 'Folk/Viking Melodic Metal' to a whole new level of grandeur.

The band will shortly be starting work on studio album Number 4, with September 9th 2009 already cast in steel as the day of release. Barring coastal resistance from imported mercenaries, UK dates will follow...
