Folk metal Sunday! Well, "Victory Song" was scheduled for a little earlier in the month of June, but the important thing is that it's here now, and there's no need to worry yourself any longer. I did recently stumble upon the Finns of Ensiferum, and was pleasantly surprised by what I found. If folk metal should be anything, then it should be epic, and that's exactly what they're best at. They've got gems like "From Afar" and "Raised By The Sword," but it's clear to me that "Victory Song" is bounds above the others.
Clocking in past the ten-minute mark and vocals coming in close to four minutes in, we've already got the beginnings of a great epic in "Victory Song." Harsh vocalist Petri Lindroos puts power into every growl, but that doesn't stop the clean-vocal-near-chant of the chorus to shine. Soon you'll be uttering swords in our hands, we kill each and every man who dares to invade this sacred land as you make your entrance anywhere. And the guitars? There are no words to describe such wonders. "Victory Song" is really just the perfect song all around, for the folk metal monger in all of us.
