Description

Double album on black vinyls with gatefold cover

Two Decades Of Greatest Sword Hits is the best of the victorious and powerful career of Ensiferum. Is not only a huddle of tracks, but I felt that the songs were carefully chosen and this cant have been an easy task, because the band has six great albums. The band comments: Twenty years since the first notes were played in Ensiferum’s first rehearsals. I doubt that 15-years old Markus Toivonen had any idea what he had just started and what kind of journey the band would begin that day. So much has happened in 20 years, but the cornerstones of our music – folk and metal – are still there and we will keep exploring this unholy combination until we die. We have always composed songs with lots of patience and hard self criticism but still wanted to have some blink in the corner of the eye and push our musical boundaries. This compilation gives the listener great chance to hear how the band has evolved during these years. Enjoy and folk on! Two Decades Of Greatest Sword Hits is a great gift for the fans, especially for the new ones that don’t know the entire discography yet.
