Description

Black gold and purple splatter vinyl with printed innersleeve and OBI-strip. Limited 100 copies

Finland’s sword-bearing metal merchants Ensiferum present a crushing mini-album, filled to the brim with melodies honoring the Nordic pagan heritage, delivered with the firm conviction of seasoned professionals they are. Gone are the vocals and masterful guitar work of Jari Maenpaa. In steps current Norther vocalist and guitarist Petri Lindroos. Since Jari’s gone, most people were afraid to hear what the new Ensiferum had become. While not a masterpiece like Iron, Dragonheads holds its own. Although only half of it is new material, they re-recorded tracks were done here for a reason. The songs Warrior’s Quest and White Storm, done by Jari and Toivonen some time back, fit in perfectly with the mood and fell of this album. This Ensiferum is slower, but still maintains the power and folk spin it had. Kalevala melody is an excellent addition, which goes right into the re-recorded song White storm, which is song quite nicely by the new guy, Petri Lindroos. Dragonheads has to be the best song on the album, and evokes a nice, nordic feel (even though the Finns were never Vikings, but hey) Overall is it a nice and worthy addition to the Ensiferum catalogue, and is enjoyable from the first to last song.
