Ensiferum - Damn Fine!

[Black Watch]

I happened to pick up a copy of "Iron" a few weeks ago, and it is my current most frequently played set of music. A bit much of 'puke' vocals, but overall amazing work on all corners on this album.

I have also heard Wintersun and don't think it's as good as this one, sadly I also think the more recent Ensiferum release (Dragon Heads) isn't as good as this one.

Sort of like Blind Guardian who (in hind sight) may never again reach the zenith of their art like they did on Nightfall, this one is a release where everyone and everything came together well and really was dead on.

PS: No idea if there are any 7s on it, but it's great metal.
PPS: Scotland was wonderful.

No 7's as far as I know, all Jackson 6's with EMG's into (live) a 5150 and a Recto

...they're better live than the albums, somehow!?!?!?!?!111

Wow, now that would be a show to see. Maybe next time I am in Scotland or England they will be playing somewhere I can go see that. Thanks for the tip.

Ensiferum owns.

You need to get their first album, "Ensiferum". It pwns "Iron" throughly.

and their ep, too..

They did a badass cover of Battery from metallica

Hell yes it does. Great songs on this one. Nothing beats out Battlesong or Guardians of fate in my book.
