biography
A melodic power/death/folk metal band delving in Viking legends for lyrical inspiration, Helsinki, Finland's Ensiferum had to continually coexist with various simultaneous metal projects undertaken by its members. Founded in 1995 by guitarist Markus Toivonen, Ensiferum worked up a number of demo tapes before finally attracting the attention of Finland's powerhouse metal label, Spinefarm, which released their eponymous debut in 2001. The sophomore Iron followed in 2004, and both albums featured vocalist Jari Mäenpää, bassist Jukka-Pekka Miettinen, keyboardist Meiju Enho, drummer Oliver Fokin, and of course Toivonen. Many of these were active in black/dark metal act Arthemesia at the same time, and Mäenpää subsequently announced his departure to start a new band called Wintersun. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide

- I don't have a problem with certain lyrics from other bands to begin with, but compared to others, their lyrics are good and some even tell stories which is in a way, inspiring. They are a great band with a good mix of hard and clean vocals with a nice mix of hard and soft songs. Great band. Pure viking metal.

- seriously, they are amazing. I dont believe they are underrated by any means. By those who have heard them they are rated very highly, the only problem is that many people in the U.S. havent heard them.

- Ensiferum sound is amazing, they have taken Viking Metal to its pinnacle, their Discography is a must for any true metal fan. There siklls are proven on there cover of Metallica's "Battery" on the "Tale Of Revenge" single. Their songs will make you yern for a cold bitter winter with deep unforgiving snow to ventur forth into.
