The Best Album of 2020 is from… Finntroll ‘Vredesvävd’

Folk-metal.nl Posted on 31 December 2020 by Michel3 January 2021
Finntroll Vredesvavd

1. Finntroll – ‘‘Vredesvävd’
55 out of 60 points, well well, that’s a winner for sure. The whole team had the latest Finntroll album in their top 3! Their last album dated all the way back to 2013, but what a hell of a comeback they made.
Albums like Ur Jordens Djup and Nifelvind remain in my regular rotation, soon to be joined by Vredesvavd. Singles like Mask and Ormfolk could easily nestle in either, despite being conceived a decade apart. Ever familiar entrances, interchanges and melodic aura help to forget the passage of time with supporting gang hymns teleporting to forbidden Forrest soirées.
It should also go without saying that Mathias “Vreth” Lillmåns continues to excel as frontman and vocal expert of the harsh persuasion that only gets better with time, like a yummy spicy whiskey. Not overshadowing the arrangement expertise of keyboardist-composer Henri “Trollhorn” Sorvali. Their latest creation thoroughly satisfies every expectation and scratches all folk metal itches, in complete blackened humpa abandonment.

Ensiferum – ‘Thalassic’ (2020)

Folk-metal.nl Posted on 12 July 2020 by Michel24 January 2021
Ensiferum Thalassic

Rating: 8.5/10 Release: 10 July 2020 Label: Metal Blade Records Ensiferum-”Thalassic” (8.5)Every band has eras in their existence, and I feel that most will draw lines of separation in Ensiferum’s timeline. Is it Emmi or post-Emmi? Is it Jari or Petri era? Or maybe early albums or Metal Blade albums? … Continue reading →

ensiferum usa tour 2019

20 January 2019 Metro Operahouse Oakland By: Assia Rating: 8.9 To be honest, I recently kinda fell out of love with Ensiferum. Perhaps to my detriment, because Two Paths just screams OG Ensiferum in many aspects once you really listen to it. The albums prior, which I shall not mention, … Continue reading →

Folk-metal.nl Posted on 21 September 2017 by Michel24 January 2021

Rating: 9/10 Release: 15 September 2017 Label: Metal Blade Records Name the top 5 biggest names in folk metal and Ensiferum would be on the list I would think. After releasing nothing but killer stuff from day one, I would say their previous effort (“One Man Army”) for new label … Continue reading →

Ensiferum – ‘Two Decades of Greatest Sword Hits’ (2016)

Folk-metal.nl Posted on 17 March 2016 by Michel24 January 2021

Rating: 9.9/10 Release: 1 April 2016 Label: Spinefarm Records “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 wasn’t an easy task, because the … Continue reading →
