I love Ensiferum. Their albums are very well produced but unfortunately they don't have the resources of bands like Dimmu Borgir that can get orchestras to accompany them to concerts. Some parts will have to be play back because they just can't muster the people to play every instrument on every song at their concerts.
RustyDockLight maybe a good thing they have conquered the stage doing what they do and keep on making better albums than the last ........when i die and go to valhala my only request is that i enter while their music is playing
Obviously the intro was taped, but I believe everything from a couple of minutes in and onwards is just the band playing. Also, the guitar solo starting around 5:25 is one of my all-time favorites - it's not just "look how fast I can play" as it has also a musical point.
Finnish =) "Not even the mighty men, away from the North, In front of the threat will bow Again, roaring cover of the Heavens Blood runs down the snowy Multi-view may no longer be tomorrow Many will miss them Posterity will be Peaceful March Victory songs will sound forever Victory songs will sound forever!" Sorry about the Google Translator translation...
It's Finnish. It's difficult to give a proper translation but it's something like this: The braves of the north Didn't give in before the threat Again the sky dome rumbles Blood stains the snow Many don't get to see tomorrow Many will be missed Land remains peaceful for progeny Songs of victory will sound forever That's a literal translation from darklyrics, however. I don't think it's possible to translate that part because the language is quite 'Finnish', if you know what I mean ;)
that crowd was totally crazy though ensiferum were amazing that night, it felt like Lord Of The rings when they were in taverns when ensiferum were playing, but still it was epic, you going to see rammstein?
