ENSIFERUM - From Afar (Official Music Video) 

I've been looking through all of these Folk Metal videos, and I think I want to go to the woods of Europe. I mean, you'd have to see like 30 bands on a 5 mile hike.

Ensiferum is one of the most amazing bands in existance. Period.

I can¨t play skyrim without this!!

I really feel, despite Ensiferum having been around for decades, they are vastly underrated. Out of all the folk/viking inspired metal bands, Ensiferum is the best.

[Verse 1] A raven came to me, spoke to me in my dream A long lost prophecy, a forgotten legacy. Echoes of yesterday won't let these dreams fade away. All the beauty I adored at the edge of the world. [Verse 2] Across the universe, time is to be reversed. No shelter can be found; to this fate, we are bound! Behold the final hour, the last times will be dour. All life falls into gorge of the end of the world! [Refrain] Burning skies on the vengeances night. Devastating scythe of the Ancient Light. [Chorus] I saw the might of the ancient Light! And the beauty of the perishing world, There's no tomorrow, we have been warned. [Verse 2 Reprise] Across the universe, time is to be reversed. No shelter can be found; to this fate, we are bound! Behold the final hour, the last times will be dour. All life falls into gorge of the end of the world! [Bridge] "The sky's bird struck fire, made a flame flare up. The north wind burnt the clearing. The north-east quite consumed it. It burnt all the trees to ash and reduced them to dust." [Refrain] Burning skies on the vengeances night. Devastating scythe of the Ancient Light. [Chorus] I saw the might of the ancient Light! And the beauty of the perishing world, There's no tomorrow, we have been warned.

A raven came to me, Spoke to me in my dream. A long lost prophecy, A forgotten legacy. Echoes of yesterday, Won't let these dreams fade away. All the beauty I adored, At the edge of the world. Across the universe, Time is to be reversed. No shelter can be found, To this fate, we are bound! Behold the final hour, The last times will be dour. All life falls into gorge Of the end of the world! "Burning skies On the vengeances night. Devastating scythe, Of the ancient Light." I saw the might, Of the ancient Light! And the beauty of the perishing world, Theres no tomorrow. We have been warned. "The sky's bird struck fire, Made a flame flare up. The north wind burnt the clearing. The north-east quite consumed it: It burnt all the trees to ash and reduced them to dust."

Me : I'll listen to Ensiferum ☺ 30 seconds later My parents : What are you doing with this axe ?

This entire album is simply pure magic and brilliant....From Afar really does transport you

my grandma made me take her to an Ensiferum concert for her birthday present. I was embarrased. She loves this band. She turned 90 that week.

In Finland we have this unique touch...its different than others.

Ensiferum has got 2 Genii. Jari Mäenpaä and Petri Lindroos One of the best Folk Metal Bands in the world. Suomi, kiitos!

Ensiferum is simply one of the best bands of the world! I really love their songs...

Yeah! Going to the woods of Europe would be great! That's where all the metal music is made!!!!

As a first time Ensiferum listener, I can assure you that I am thoroughly pleased. Time to see what else they have to offer! \m/

This song makes me love Finland! :)

fucking epic. Discovering an awesome band like this is even greater than discovering a new star

In Europe they have signs in the forest that read: DON’T FEED THE BANDS

Can't believe it's been 10 years already. Feels like just yesterday when this video just came out

0:19 metal fist of approval

Still my favorite song of theirs. Incredible.

10 years later this is one of the best metal song I have ever heard in my life. What is Prodigy in electro music, that's Ensiferum for metal.

Me and my girl friend listened to this... now we both have beards

I'm day drinking and blasting this. RIP neighbors.

The hand actions make this song x100 better

Excellent son , puissant et sans compromis

It was 2011 when I first time discovered this, but my feelings are still the same for this song. Long Live Ensiferum!

Petri Lindroos is such a beast

Respect from Wisconsin, USA. This band saved my life.

14 años de esta belleza de álbum 🤘🏼

This is what you miss when you fast travel in Skyrim.

I listened to this the first time a few months ago and was like "this sucks"...boy now am i eating my words i love how it all flows together and i can proudly say that Turisas brought me here!!

Ensiferum let´s me improve my life. There is no higher level of influence, nothing closer, no comperable touch, this is pure art, joy, confidence, guidance. I will see you in october, and i will appreciate! Can´t wait

The Finnish make good music, damn xD

Epic :-) Cheers from Sweden

Te quiero mucho Ensiferum ❤️

Old Ensiferum still gets me fired up, after all these years, and changing metal tastes.

In ENSIFERUM we trust.

HAIL from Brazil!!! Come BACK Ensiferum

Big fan for some years now, just love their style of metal

This is the song that introduced me to Ensiferum. I still remember that day, and so far there has not been a song I don't like of them. I just love these guys.

I love the vocals, so strong, let alone it requires talent.

Send this to the guy who said "folk metal is elves dancing in the forest."

"I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with my hands" - A novel by Petri Lindroos

i like playing skyrim to that.

2:16 This Symphonic part is like a travel to fantasy. Remind me the good albums of Rhapsody and Avantasia!!!!!

Found this band by mistake a few minutes ago with Into Battle, Now I am uncontrollably repeating the songs to listen over and over and over!

Perfect Song

I love those hoods :)

I already had a beard before listening to this. Now I have a double beard!

Honestly one of the best songs of all time.

i need a coat like that :D

N me canso de ouvir essa obra prima desse som

shit....I just grew a beard....and I'm a 15 year old girl 0.0

何度見ても格好良すぎる

My absolute favourite Ensiferum song. I think Petri is better than Jari but Jari is also cool! \m/

I Miss Norther I miss old petri frozen angel

Let's get something straight: Not only is From Afar one of Ensiferum's best songs, it's also one of their best albums. Let's get another thing straight: This video contains some of the worst lipsynching ever conceived by human reckoning.

i still loving this video, im drunk tonight 11 years after and im still watching the video

Dude I found this band from a Guilty Gear Accent Core +R tutorial series, and now I can't stop listening to them. As a long time Children of Bodom fan on the hunt for more melodeath, this blew my balls clean off.

Just another reason why eurpean metal is better than american..

S-Tier melodeath track

Yeah, Finnish folk metal warriors! 🗡️🇫🇮

if i listen to either viking or folk metal i can take a shower with cold water

God, this is so 2 thousand years ago

Não tem uma música ruim mano, caralho... Esse baterista toca muito hahaha

AMOOOO esta banda, no hay día en que no escuche una canción de ellos

Warcraft III Reign of Chaos anyone?

Lol, a lot of Wintersun essence is here.

petri your the best

I love this band, they keep our spirit and our hope high for a continious future for us here, even tough we `ve lived here for hundreds of years. You know what I am talking about!

Petri Lindroos must act as Arthas in a Warcraft movie lol

I'm looking for folk metal bands with clean vocals, do you have any suggestions?

That's the worst actress i've ever seen in a music video. But Ensiferum is so fucking awesome

great mix of metal ,classical and folk music

The clip's is so epic, but the actress ruins everything..

Песня прекрасная, клип ужасный.

back in 2009 i was 15 years old now i'm 26 it's kinda emotional to me listening to this music again

Gotta say still one of the best opening lyrics in any viking metal ive heard so far, and Ive been listening for a long ass time!

a forgotten legacy, echoes of yesterday,wont let these dreams fade away, all the beauty i adorned,at the edge of the world!

thank you,im glad someone said it

Sami Hinkka is the definition of manliness and true awesomeness.

Was für ein Interaktiver Spaß

For once I can say thank you RU-vid, thank you for recommending this

still listening. heard this first time over 10 years ago. knew it was going to blow up eventually 🤘

Best music video ever.. 11/10

Good Musicians, South America requires more concerts from you!!!

Can't play medieval II without this !

I love Petri with all my love. ensiferum my favorite band.
