The Finnish folk metal titans have revealed the title for their highly anticipated new album…
The album has been given the title ‘One Man Army’, and is set for release on February 24th via Metal Blade Records.
Bassist Sami Hinkka commented on the announcement of the album title:
“We are extremely proud to announce that the album is 100% done!
“The recording session was incredible experience for us. We can’t express our gratitude enough for Mr. Anssi Kippo, who never lost his nerves, was full of crazy ideas and worked like a madman for weeks! The shortest working day was 12 hours and the average was around 16 hours!
“After all ‘blood, sweat and tears,’ it feels great to tell you that the result for years of hard composing and weeks of intense recordings is without a doubt the best ENSIFERUM album song- and sound-wise. Material is pretty diverse and each song tells a tale of it’s own instead of being a crappy copy of previous song, so no fillers included.”
The new album follows-up previous effort ‘Unsung Heroes‘, released in 2012 to criticism that the album did not meet the Ensiferum standard. As ‘One Man Army‘ is released, we’ll see if they can get back up to standard.
