New Ensiferum album

2014-12-17 by Kyle Ward EMERITUS | 20 Comments
Finnish folk metal band Ensiferum have announced their upcoming sixth studio album, titled One Man Army. The band decided to take a different approach to recording the record, using predominantly analog recording.

Bassist Sami Hinkka said of the album:

"Recording process was long, hard, rewarding and full of incredible moments. Instruments were actually played and left as they were instead of creating tracks from hundreds of different takes, moving them to the grid and modifying things. Of course computers were used but overall we made everything as analog as possible. Listeners can experience a better sound and natural groove, something that we think most metal albums lack these days. Overall, the album sounds much more like a band playing live rather than ‘midi-metal'".

One Man Army is slated to be released on February 24, 2015 via Metal Blade Records.

At least their artwork is always sick. I'll give this a shot even though UH was pretty weak.

Unsung Heroes also had a 'special recording process' and that album was really mediocre. Let's hope for the best.

so they're pulling a WitTR and going analog. Cool. Band usually doesn't disappoint so let's just hope this one makes up for the last one.

Hope for the best and prepare for the utmost worst I guess? Lets hope they can pull out another From Afar. I'm sure they got that in them somewhere.

The main reason why UH wasn't that great was because the songs were blazing fucking fast and in your face like the rest of their earlier material. It was just too slow in tempo. It felt like a tamer, lamer version of Ensiferum. I still enjoyed the album though, just not as much as I wanted to.

Guys, I'm sorry—and I'mma let y'all finish—but "Token of Time" is the best folk metal song of all time. Of all time. Just sayin'.
