You can't talk about the true greats of folk-inspired melodic death metal without reverent mention of Ensiferum, and with Two Paths they once more affirm their place in the pantheons of the genre. Further building upon the thrilling metallic hybrid honed across six full-lengths, Two Paths is simultaneously the Finnish quintet's most epic and far-reaching collection and their most organic, which definitely sets it apart from the pack. "When we made 'One Man Army' (2015), we wanted it to sound more like a live album than a traditional studio album. With 'Two Paths', we took that to the next level with analog recording, cutting down tracks and even recording songs without a click, and because of that there is a totally different kind of groove compared to most modern metal albums," states bassist/vocalist Sami Hinkka. While their ideas are huge and they consistently prove they have the talent to back them up, the band maintains the grounded MO that has served them so well over the years, with the results speaking for themselves. "It all comes down to writing music that sounds good to us and is fun to play live, and I would say with 'Two Paths' we've done everything better than we ever have before."

This may be the closest to the early Ensiferum since... well, the early Ensiferum :D I love it!

[@HatzajaOfDaggerspine]

I was just thinking the same, it remembered me of iron, little dreamer, dragon heads, lai lai hei

[@fernandohenriqueribeiro9337]

really? that shit? sounds more like a copy of Alestorm than little dreamer

[@GMovieSeeker]

Unknown Power Metal YT It sounds like Wintersun's debut album, and holy shit it's awesome because Forest Seasons SUCKED imho

[@mrgarina]

Unknown Power Metal YT Funny comment 😃 And yeah man, it's great!

[@dylanvalorfall]

Rhis sounds absolutely nothing even close to anythign Wintersun has released. Totally different dude lol.;

[@robinmartinez6150]

Oh the good metalhead community :^) -If they sound the same: "Fuck dude, all the songs are the same" -If they innovate: "Fuck dude, they changed" I say fuck it, they're still awesome, great to hear fresh songs You can never please everyone, so do what makes you proud and happy of your work

[@85percentjesus]

Your comment made me laff. So true.

[@XavierBergeron]

*giggles*

[@itsajay4729]

True. Only true

[@jasonfurler5747]

Lol, true but the worse case of this ive ever seen is opeth. The amount of changes they made every album made for amazing comments.

[@AriaIsara]

To be fair it's everyone, not just metalheads who says stuff like that. It happens a lot among TV show viewers for example. They don't want changes and they don't want repetitive stuff from one season to the next -_-

I want them to make a t-shirt of that album cover already damnit!

[@Mattcd991]

It already exists.

[@Guaguadeath]

Mattcd991 yeah I saw a version of it but I want the actual color scheme of the album art. Looks WAY cooler than that sepia effect shit they have on it

[@AndersMidnatt]

The TRUE album colours will be awesome as fuck!

[@thelegendofeli3887]

[@poltergijstt]

Awesome! Never really got into this band until i heard this great piece of metal

[@noditschi]

[@jimmygray4525]

Ensiferum is an incredible band.

Yup, they grew up and so did their music but is still Ensiferum...

Great Ensiferum

[@FrontendMedia]

One of the best from new album

[@Slavspy]

SOUNDS RIGHT !

[@rogermontoyaramos3637]

los amo

[@spikedylacid]

Sounds like they've been listening to the criticism of their later work and tried to give the fans the sound they've been missing. All the tracks released so far sound great to me.

[@StephSantidragonslayer]

Hells yea! This is nice!

[@Lukianze]

Best song from the new album so far! Awesome!

[@etiennebichon3569]

It reminds me of some old Norther on riffs. Good one

[@dylanvalorfall]

Still a great fucking band. Glad I ordered this.

Bombastic...yet quite shallow. The '1:25 vocals' are quite painful to listen.

[@mrgarina]

log loglog I think the song is pretty sweat, but you are on the money on that vocal part. Horrid shit

[@kills12kills]

Yeah I agree that part sucks, the rest of the song is quite lit imo

I can definitely hear the difference between the analog and digital. High gain electric guitars sound so much better through an analog board.

[@joseaugustodossantos6488]

MUITO BOM. ABRAÇO.

[@tarkus1056]

This might be Ensiferum's Spit Out the Bone, the best song they've released since probably Victory Songs. Didn't like them after that album, might get into them again.

[@Ensifer147]

Dude, From Afar is like their best album what are you talking about

[@MobileDecay]

Nice!

[@MrDJUMBIR]

a great song to fight the nameless king and his pet...king of storms? :D

[@shawnthefox3459]

It's like they're attempting to emulate Jari's style. It sounds weird, like they're reusing a bunch of riffs from the old songs and mixing them together.

[@ristuksenvittu]

this is Norther

[@joshwas109]

lol

[@Ridley1911]

So far this album seems way more promissing than "One man army" But it still doesn't impress me, what i would give to have a another Ensiferum album with Jari.

i like the new album but something is missing there

[@TruueMetal]

Remove the horrendous vocals at 1.25 and reward the song with better production and this could have been a classic.

[@DandelionVolta]

Serious Sam OST - Corridor of Death on speed

[@kurturquizo6676]

Stop watching porn

[@danyburton2336]

looks like this album is going to be even tackier than the last

[@Zombot012]

Wondering how no one so far asked the question - WHY the shitty production? It's not 1983, it's 2017, "raw" sound doesn't necessairly equate to "shitty" sound.

[@ensiferum1992]

They decided to recording bass and drums lines together at the same time. "When we made 'One Man Army' (2015), we wanted it to sound more like a live album than a traditional studio album. With 'Two Paths', we took that to the next level with analog recording, cutting down tracks and even recording songs without a click, and because of that there is a totally different kind of groove compared to most modern metal albums." - Sami Hinkka It was a choice of their producer (Ansi Kippo) to make it look like a live sound. I don't like this kind of production too. :/

[@dylanvalorfall]

I don't notice it much. It sounds fine to me.

[@Zombot012]

You're legally deaf then, probably.

[@UponDemise666]

Have you ever recorded???? Can you even comprehend how soulless & hollow it is to record digitally & how easy it is to make a shit band sound "great"?!?! Analog recording is the best & most organic there is. Its digital recording & triggered drums that have turned metal into the plastic factory it's become opposed to the TRUE metal that is written, performed from the heart & executed in the same manner. Gods I hate when ignorant close minded metal heads think they know everything when actually they have no clue.

[@Zombot012]

Says the ignorant close-minded metalhead... :D Talking about doing the same shit that's been done in the 70s, talking about closed-minded ignorance. Dude. Are you listening to yourself?

[@mariomunoz6398]

Sounds like Norther a long long time ago hahaha

[@AndersMidnatt]

In the name of Thor!!!

[@enestekin6109]

Has Emmy come back to the band?

[@Turja666]

Enes Tekin No

[@enestekin6109]

It sounds bad. Bu on the picture, that girl was not Emmy?

[@philipopruesse4259]

The girl is Netta Skog, ex-Turisas and a great musician in her own right

[@oscar5174]

Son geniales? =D

[@noditschi]

Loved the return of old melodies, but there is too much Choral singing in all three for my taste....

[@emilelocas5496]

nodeterin I listened to the album and WHERE ARE THE RIFFS

[@noditschi]

Emile Locas Certainly not as much as there used to be, but I found it okay, of this is the direction the Band is going.... I'm still indecisive on how I like it, but it did sound like Ensiferum, so....

[@игорь-к6в8я]

нет музыка

[@Nix-Mix]

Nice melodies but I still miss some clean vocals..

[@cheese16502]

if you actually listen to the song there are clean vocals, remember this band is METAL, not pop.

[@cheese16502]

rough vocals are so much better too

[@poltergijstt]

Dont listen to metal if you want clean vocals my friend

[@ensiferum1992]

Check "Eternal Wait" / "Tears" / "Lady in black" / "Wanderer" / "Smoking Ruins" / "Vandraren" / "Celestial Bond" / "Star Queen (Celestial Bond part II)" / "Last Breath" / "Neito Pohjolan" and tell me if they are not singing with clean voice. Ensiferum has often put parts in clean vocals, and clean vocals doesn't means that is not metal.

[@Nix-Mix]

If you think screaming and growling is metal you're absolutely wrong...

[@JohnJohnson-ft8es]

Dark Souls 3

[@ensiferum1992]

Meh...nothing special. Hope for other songs, but I'm afraid I'll be disappointed considering the three songs that have been released. I'm sorry to say it but for me their decline is obvious if they continue this way. I will always be a big fan but their "new" sound I do not like anymore. Sad story.

[@chlopen1]

it comes with time, you must hear it few times! realy so is it always when its cool

[@spectre722]

Skjoldborg wow do you really think they wouldn't have "too much orchestra" even if jari would still be with ensiferum? it's exactly what he's doing with wintersun. not that i'm complaining because i actually enjoy the orchestra / symphonies

[@marcusv.443]

Love the band but dont like the screams and growlings

[@hijodesatanas8941]

não gosto do boneco

[@MrThrashmetal13]

anyone else feeling a "Victory Songs" vibe?

[@chekyespanol1220]

Downhill from "Unsung Heroes", their decline is obvious. For me the last good album was "From Afar".

[@DontKillFriends]

No idea how this is in any way downward from their last couple. I think it actually sounds refreshed and inspired for once.

[@denniswolter2582]

The first half of Unsung Heroes is pretty good the second half of the album is boring ^^ One Man Army already was great again and it feels like two Paths is going to be even better :)

[@85percentjesus]

Side 3 might be a little boring, I agree, but side four, the 17-minute epic Passion, Proof, Power is ammaazzinggg (for me, anyway). Just when you think it's over and your mind has been blown, there are still 6 or 7 minutes still to come. I love the operatic vocals in this tune.

[@itsajay4729]

Cheky Español all Album from ensiferum are Perfect

[@ensiferum1992]

Predictably this new "Two Paths" is their weakest album after Unsung Heroes...total disappointment.

[@ToniKarlahaN]

This sounds like a recycled "Hero in a dream", did anyone notice or just me? hahaha

[@gbuhnoezqayusioehf]

or maybe you mix up "recycling" and "brand".
